Court if he had anything TO say. Isaiah re-
piled that he had not. He was then sen
tenoed to the Western Penitentiary for pc
Rod of seven yeras and six months in the
Phillippi case, and for four years IN the
Liston case. The same question was then
nut by the Court to Musser. He replied that
prior TO his arrest he had been under the
charge of physician, and that his physl-
clan had advised him to take plenty OF out
door exercise and that he was afraid Close
confinement would be injurious 10 his
health He therefore asked the Court TO
make his sentence as light as possible. The
Court told him he ought to have thought OF
this before, and then gave him the same
sentence that was imposed upon Isaiah.
