A LIGHT SENTENCE.
ST. LOUIS, March 26.-RusselI Beown
and Pat McGlew were called in the crimi-
nal court this morning to answer the
charge OF murder in the first degree, for
| killing Mrs. Sarah Henrietta Doris, wife
of Gen. George H. Doris, by strangllng,
on the night of Jan. %, 1881. Russell
Brown was tAe murdered woman's grand
son. He was wild young fellow, and
among his associates was McGlew, a bar
! tender. Brown, with his mother, Mrs
| Wisken, since deceased, ard his aunt, Mrs.
| Holderman, wife of the United States min
lister to Siam, resided in the
splendid Doris mansion in the
suburbs. Brown and McGlew had been
drinking, and on the night in question
went TO the house quietly and stole up to
Browns grandmOther's room. Brown
called at the door that his uncle, Tom Dor
ris, was sick, and wanted her to attend
him. The old lady came to the door, where
she was seized by Brown, who caught her
by the throat. Kate McEver, a servant
sleeping with Mrs. Davis, says another
man entered the room and took watch
from under the pillow, but she was so
frightened she could do nothing. The two
men took all the jewelry they could find,
even taking diamond rings from Mrs. Dor
ris' fingers, and also her diamond ear
rings. The old lady, after being released,
fell over on the bed and died in q few min
utes after, her body showing evidences of
death from strangulation. Brown was
arrested two days later and McGlew was
captured in Chicago. The jewelry was
found in a pawn shop. When the case was
reached in the criminal court the circuit
attorney stated that the testimony taken
before the grand jury would not sustain the
charge of murder. He did not believe the
young men intended to murder Mrs
Doris. As the prisoners were willing to
enter plea of guilty OF manslaughter in
the first degree, he recommended that it
be accepted and their punishment be as
sessed at ten years in the penitentiary.
The judge, surprised at the proposition,
took the case under adyisement.
At o'clock the judge came into the
court and said he had read the evidence
and it was either case of murder in the
first degree or manslaughter in the third
degree, and he could not accept the plea
of guilty to maEslaughter in the first case.
He then p roceeded to trial, and jury was
empaneled.
