What Col. Juessen urged In mitigation OF
David Cochran's offense against the Internal
Revenue laws before that gentleman was sen
fenced to three months residence IN the
County Jail, had little effect upon the course Of
Justice as administered in this, the Northern
District OF Illinois, By his Honor, Judge Blodg-
Bangs: urged yesterday had more effect
around her eyes. Col. Jnesscn stated IN
substance that Cochran pleaded guilty because
he could not get bail, and with the idea that, IS
strongly from the start, be would easily secure
q modification OF sentence. Cochran was, Ia
tact, only teamster In the employ Of Rue +.
Hutehins d Co, and Col. Juessen asserted that
the only fraud he ever committed Was in per-
mlttlng himself to be taken for Andrew Coch-
ran, one Of the cxiles now sojourning in the
Dominion.
Judge Bangs said he Thought Cochran's
punishment Vas too severe, and suggested
modification.

Andrew would obligfngly submit to David's
sentence,

CHICAGO, July latter listening to the able
defense Of Jacob Rehm by the Government
counsel the other day in court, an astonished
auditor inquired on what terms Rehm intended
to let the Government off. The supreme ability
Of the defendant WAS noVhe1e so conspicuously
exhibited as in his coup d'etat, not OF the
Whisky Ring, but OF the United States Of
America, as represented by onedepartment, that

attorneys against him to justify, or, at any
rate, excuse his stealing $4,000 Of Government
money (which he admitted he had feloniously
taken), on the ground that be did not put that
money In his pocket, and keep it there, but paid
It out in strengthening his influence over his
fellow-criminals, SO as to compel them to bny
their malt Of him, Of which he had a monopoly;
that in this way it paid him better than to de-
post the money In bank and Leave 1t
there: This Tas regarded BY hon
Attorney Of the Government as wise, prudent,
justifable business net on ths part Of the all

where it would do most good in securing polt-
ical influence which should create market for
his malt monopoly. Only the most skilled
casufstry could demonstrate the great diff
the guilt OF the thief, and, therefore, grow SO
