ORDERED TO JAIL.

HUTCulNS CDEuRANE.
Rue r Hutchins and David Cochrnnc were
then requested to step forward for sentence.
They had nothing to say for themselves, and the
Court addressed them In the following strain:
You have pleaded guilty to the first count In the
Indictment against you, charging you With a
conspiracy to defraud the United States OF the
tax upon certain highwlnes. The sentence Of
the Court upon this plea Is, that you he fined
each the sum Of II 900 and be IMPRISONED in the
County Jail Of Cook County for the term Of
three months. THIS completes the list Of SEN
tenccs which I shall pronounce this morning.
The prisoners will now be taken in custody by
the Marshal.
Col. Jucsscn, however, had something to say
on this point. lie said: II your Honor please,
in behalf Of all the clients that represent here,
desire to make motion here for suspension
Of sentence for reasonable time to give US an
opportunity to apply Tor PARTON: presume,
Your Honor, that ten days will be quite SUI
hcient, do not ue5ire to say anything upon
the motion.
Tie Court (after short pause)-1 do not
think that sentence should be suspended. The
filts Of the Court here, marry Of them for from
three to four months. They have Lad ample
opportunities to apply for paraon or for with
rawal OF proceedings against ,si,. them Netting
that the Executive would intcrferfere
In their behalf In some cases where defend

III tue case Of Mckee, OF st: Louis, whcr: there
suspension Ut sentence in order that an appliel-
ton might be 1na1e for Executive elenien*y.
Here where these defendants, have pleaded
guilty, when they arc conclusivcly presumed to
Gc guilty BY their own admissions ut thu bur OF
the Court, it seems to me that /! is too far gone
for further suspension of sentence.
Mr.. Emery 4. Storrs-rhere may be some zea-
sons,--1 don't know whether they exist or NOT,
but it is quite fair to presume that they 10,
ali events, until Monday morning. Tomorrow
is Sunday, aud some Of these men may desire to
visit their families in the meantime. They arc
class OF men in whom there is no run; that Is
tempt anything OF the kind And they are cid
crlv men, old citizens, aud men OF families; ana
presume that there may he considerations OF
TINT character which. your Honor would enter
The Court-Last Monday these parties were
brought before me for sentence. then heard
their counsel in every consideration which they
saw fit to urge in mitigation Of sentence, They
must have known-thelr counsel must nave
known-that tho Court could not, under tho
law, sentence them without sentencing them to
imprisonment. The law imposes pcnaly OF
imprisonment and tine in all the cases where
sentences have been pronounced this morning.
Ipurposcly gave them from Monday until to-
Gay ii, order that they might make their arrange
1nents for the imprisonment which they knew
must follow to some extent. | can see no
reason Tor interfering with It now. The fact
Tint # is Saturday should make no difference
The Marshal will take tue parties to prison.
Judge Bangs-I believe thcre Is nothing fur-
ther on the crlmtunl docket this morning, :.
The Court-If you hlye nothing further, I
will transact no further business to-day. The
parties who have been sentenced will remain In
their seats, II the Marshal requests them to, un~
ii! the crowd has retired from the corridor.
This closed the proceedings in court.
