A JUST SENTENCE.

Judge Davis performed what must have
been very painful duty yesterday in
sentencing Robert l.. Case, the ex-Presi-
dent of the Security Life Insurance
Company, to five years imprisonment at
hard labor in the State Prison. The
feeling manner in which the Judge allu-
ded to the prisoners former honorable
career and to the terrible blow that has
fallen on his innocent and estimable
family only reflected the general enti-
ment of the community among whom
the unfortunate man passed heretofore a
reputable life. But it is the part of jus
tice to lay aside these sympathies when a
crime has been committed which de-
mands severe punishment, not only as
penalty of the offense, but as warning
against its commission by others. Judge
Davis, in few clear words, swept away
the pretence that the President of the
fraudulent company should have sup
posed it to be in possession of $215,-
600 cash, when all the money it had was
| 5000, or to have been the owner OF
$350,000 worth of real estate, above
mortgages, when in fact it held only
$4,000 worth. He also disposed efiec-
tually of the plea that the prisoner had
not actually sworn to the false statement
of the company's affairs, by reminding
him that the establishment of that de-
fence would have shown the oath to have
been a simulated one and substantially
a forgery.
The sentence is unquestionably JUS
one. 1t would have been extended Il
the longest term-ten years--but for the
advanced age of the prisoner. 1t will
beyond doubt be followed by the convic
ton and sentence Of other indicted iusu
rance officials whose crimes have beer
even worse than those brought home t.
Robert l.. Case. The trial of the ex'
President of the Popular Life Insuranc
Company should be pressed at once, 70
the rascalities of that institution, by tn
receivers showing, were of the bodies
character. 1t is to be hoped that, whil
Justice is thus asserting herself, some {
, the cruel frauds, perjuries and robberie
committed by the officers and trustees {
, savings banks may also be severely puI
, ished. Then, with the example of ha
dozen such offenders in the State Pris
on, we may hope that all persons holdin
( positions of trust may become sensibl
s that they are amenable to the laws an
n impressed with a more lively appreci
= tion of their responsibilities. J
