A DEFAULTERs PUNIsHmENT.
Evan Rice II Sentenced tn Five
Years imprisonment.

Evan Rice II Sentenced tn Five
rears Imprisonment.
The District Court.. met this morning,
Judge Bradford on the bench.
The attendance was large owing to
the fact Of its being generally under
stood that Evan Rice, the defaulting
cashier Of Brandywine National Bank
would be- arraigned and upon his ar
raignment would plead guilty.
The Circuit court was opened and
adjourned without doing any business.
Some time was consumed in waiting for
the appearance Of the prisoner. At IL
O'Clock Mr.. Rice, accompanied by Levi
G. Bird, his counsel, and Mr.. B. +.
Townsend, one OF his sure,i-s, entered
the court room. The prisoner was
neatly dressed and cl-anly shaven, and
his mobile cOuntenancs manifested no
evidence of the existence of any inter
est, whatever, in the proceedings around
him.
As he entered, the spectators in the
court room aroused from the languid
position into which they had rplapsed,
and the court with judicial dignity re-
adjusted its glasses and proceeded to
read the statute under which the pris-
oner was indicted. The several counts
in the indictment, which have already
been published, were also read to him
to which he pleaded guilty. The court
then informed the prisoner that the
offence committed by him was grave
one, and the punishment of necessity,
was severe, SO severe in fact that will
only impose the minimum number Of
years which the law directs which is
five.
If the punishment had not been SO
severe circumstances which have occur
red might warrant the imposition of q
longer term of imprisonment. As it
stands give you this as sentence and
will commit YOU to the custody Of the
Marshal of the United States until the
full sense of the sentence is carried in
to effect. Your imprisonment will com
mence from the 18th of June 1879 and
expire on the 18th Of June 1884.
The prisoner was then taken in
charge by the Marshal and will be
taken to New Castle this afternoon.
