VINO Would nave TO 60 To the lnhfmary.
The Judge remarked that there could be
no doubt as to defendants guilt, and
that he had once before been put upon
trial charged with a similar ofIense. The
meat stolen was not so very large in
amount, but there was no excuse for an .
able-bodied man to 60 around the coun- l
try stealing meat, and while he had little |
sympathy for defendant, he would take |
into consideration the condition of his |
innocent and helpless family, and would
sentence him to the Penitentiary for two
years. Plummer evidently had expect
ed longer term. lie bowed his head as
in acknowledgement Of a favor confer
red, and looked relieved.
John Donally was told to stand up
He had come into the Court Room with
a swinging, awkward step. He had on
an old military jacket On one foot was
an old shoe, or part Of a shoe. His toes,
and part Of the foot were exposed. On
the other foot was a piece of an old
boot, with the heel so run to one side
that he could scarcely walk The
boot was also out at the toe. He
/ upon by the Court lie is only fourteen
years of age, and his attorney, r. II.
Jones, said that long sentence to the
Reform Farm might be best for the boy,
/ yet his father and mother are aged and
infrm, and depended to some extent on
the labor Of the boy for support. The
offense was a mere technical one. The
boy was smarting under the disgrace OF
having been whipped by a boy smaller
than himself and the stabbing was a
small matter in reality
There was some question as to the con
struction Of the Statute, and the Judge
said he would take time to examine the
Statute, and the prisoners were all sent
back to Jail

On Saturday morning the Judge dcci
ded question which he said was new tc
him. and he could not find any decision
in any court, upon the point The ques
ton was fully argued by several attor
neys, on Friday afternoon. Lewis Per
dunn had been indicted for keeping
gambling house, and to that indictment
he plead guilty. and was fined.
He was also indicted under another
Statute for permitting gambling Thii
ofFense was laid within the time covered
by the other indictment. The Court
held that permitting gambling was wha
constituted the keeping Of a gambling
! house One such act is not sufficient
The State had a right to prove every sin
gle act of permitting gambling. during
the time covered by the indictment, oi
only part Of such acts might be proven
And this would constitute the keeping
of gambling house. Now when tn,
defendant is fined for keeping a gam
bling house, is he not punished for every
single act Of permitting gambling, dur
ing the time covered by the indictment
The party cannot be fined for an offens,
already included in the other case foi
which the party has been punished.
The Court held that the same principI,
held good in cases under the liquor law
and that person punished under tn,
fourth section, for keeping nuisance
, cannot be punished for violation o
either the first, second-or third section
for single sale, if the ofFense is charged
to have been committed within the tim,
covered by the other indictment
The Prosecuting Attorney will proba
bly, take the question up, as it is new
important, and a very close question.
