trict court this morning Judge Morris sentenced
DR.. sydney d. Grant, shchocl Ward, alias Thomas
Callahan, and william Owens, alias william Stat.
ford, convicted Of perjury IN falsely swearing in
the case of owens. who claimed an additional
pension. In passing sentence Judge Morris said
TO Or. Grant that as he had been once before
convicted Of forgery he thought light spntcncc
would not effect his reformation. lie therefore
sentenced him to pay u tine OF 81, 600 and to be
imprisoned IN the pentontlary for three years.
owens, he said, had no doubt been in tho army
and might have been entitled to u pension, but
proceeded IN criminal way to procure IT, In
view Of the fact that ho had served in the army he
would give him light sentence, and for Ward,
VIII was young man, with perhaps q long lite
before him, he thought light sentence might
tend to his reformation. He then sentenced owens
and Ward each to pay line of 81 900 and 70 be i'm
