The case of Albert Bowen, the postofdce robber of New Haven who was detected in robbing the mails at the New Haven post office in July, came up for trial before Judge Shipman in Hartford yesterday on the plea of guilty. Hugh Daley, his attorney, made strong plea for mercy, stating that Bowen in 1865, at the age of two years, came to this city with his father, who was former slave in Virginia; that he received little educa- tion in the public schools, had worked in several places, in all of which his employers had given him good reputation for honesty; that he was tempted during the summer and fell. MT. Daley argued for short sen tence from the fact that his client had always borne good character for honesty among the people for whom he had worked. The judge sentenced Bowen to the State prison for one year, remarking that when he came out he hoped he would lead an honest life.
