arise for the need of implements of war,

on March 18th last, and getting away
with goods amounting to about two dol
lars. The jury returned a verdict OF not
guilty in regard to Healy and Cahail, and
found Locke guilty, with a sentence of
one year in the penitentiary. The sen
tence was passed by the court, as the
Jury had fixed it, when Mr.. II. L. McNeal
called the attention of the court to the
fact that the youth was not 16 years of
age. and under the statute. he could not
be sent to the penitentiary. 1t was seen
that new sentence was necessary, so
Judge Glenn appointed Mr.. McNeal as
Lockes lawyer, who made motion for a
new trial. This was granted and plea
of not guilty was withdrawn, and plea
of guilty was substituted 1t was dis
covered by the evidence taken that the
prisoner was only fifteen years of age
March last. The court then changed the
sentence from one year in the penten-
tiary, to two years in the reform school
at Pontiac. The new sentence did not
seem to suit Locke very well, who
evidently preferred to serve one year in
the penitentiary.
