tice Of the peace at BrOOkville. where
the crime was committed, and were
indicted by the Grand Jury except
Monte, (alias HID who is in Jail and
has not yet been arraigned. In regard
TO the other three, Wilson and Holland
plead guilty of robbery in the first de-
gree. Gilman, who seemed To be a
whilom vagahond, plead not guilty
and asked the State To furnish him
counsel, whereupon the court assigned
Mohler 4 Cunningham to defend him.
He was convicted, and after touch
ing address of warning and an inquiry
into the past history of the criminals
by Judge Prescott, they received the
following sentences: Gilman fourteen
years, Wilson, twelve years, and Hof-
land ten years in the penitentiary.
Holland was but I. years of age. The
prisoners were conducted to their place
of confinement yesterday by sheriff
Baker.
