alias 'Jim" Brady, who convicted OF feonious
sault Edward Bromheld, and who pleaded guilty TO
similar cbargcsone OF assauting Officer Paddock
and the other OF assaultlng OAicer Kottner When
the prisoner came out OF the pen and up TO the
bar for sentence his appearance was IA usual calm and
collected, and as II anticipating the judgment about
be pronounced upon him did not seem taken acack by
the length Of time he destined to spcnd in the
State Prison. Whom asked by the clerk II ne had any
thing TO say why judgment should not be pronounced
against him, he simply answered, ''Nothing;' gave
his age as twcnty-eight AMI his homo as Rochester
Tho District Attorney, in moving for sentence, said
the prisoner stood convicted on three separate indct
ments lie was informed by tho State Prison officials
that Peterson, under The oI Brady, owed the
expired term In the State Prison OF six years and
months. He would, therefore. suggest 10 the Court
that II would be proper mako the term OF imprson-
mcnt TO which the Court would now sentence him
commence at the expiration Of the service of the
he already owed
Judge Glderslseve, In passing sentence said 1t was
very evident that the prisoner was a man of some
ability, which. II he had directed toward honest un-
dertaKng, would have made him a successful man as
he hpd been successful criminal HIS conduct since
his arrest had been very iar He had been
oil one offence, and had the frankness TO plead guilty
10 two others Notwithstanding hs'bad reputation he
would receive the benefit OF his pleas. ON tho charge
upon which he was recently convicted tho sent tence
was that the prisoner be confined In tho State
Prs0D Tor the term OF nvo years at hard labor to
mence after the expiration of tho unexpired term
which he already owed. On the indictment for
saultng Officer Paddock the sentence OF the Court
that ho be conned In the State Prison for the torn Of
three years. TO commence after tho expiration Of tho
term Of ave years to which he had now been SEN
fenced, and the indictment for assaulting Officer
Kettner the that he bo further confued
tor three years, to commence alter the expiration of
tho three years which he had just been sentenced
The prisoner was then shackled and conveyed to tho
Tombs, surrounded by court officers. Ample
takento prevent his escape in view OF his well
known character for jail breaking.
1t was generally expected that tho authorities OF
Kings county would at once obtain possession Of the
prisoner 1t being alleged that he concerned in
robbery OF Arthur J. Heyney, pawnbroker, residing
at No. PA Atlantic avenue who recently identified
Brady as the chief OF gang OF men VINO entered hls
store, gagged and robbed HIM OF the oil $l2 000
1t was stated that District Attorney Brtton would at
once obtain habeas corpus IRON one OF the Justices
OF the Supreme Court OF Kings county and bring tho
criminal down and proceed TO try him the indict-
ment charging MIN with the crlme. Should this be
done aud the prisoner Brady be convicted hiteen
years will doubtless be added TO his yesterday
and prevent him from committing any further outrage
Tor the rcmander OF his lie.
