Ten Years for Incest.

PHGNIx, April l1th.-John Roy, who
pleaded guilty Of incest with his i3-year-
old daughter, was sentenced this morning.
The Court first pronounced sentence upon
him, sending him to Yuma for life. but af-
terwards it was discovered that for the pun
ishment Of incest the law limited the time
not to exceed ten years in the Penitentiary.
Accordingly Roy was resentenced, getting
ten years, the Judge remarking that he
considered the punishment altogether too
light for the crime committed.
