SYCAMORE, Ills, Nov. g james Young,

Hiram Allen, was again in court Friday and

how the murder was committed. A jury

nay. The judge thereupon imposed SEN

1t is William Thomas, the young man

Joliet for seventeen years for the
murder OF II. z. Allen, of Sand witch,
Ills, crime of which he has always stoutly
protested his innocence. Thomas held
telegram which the cell. house keeper had
just handed in to him. Thomas was laugh
ing and crying by turns over the
contents of the telegram. The message
was from his brother at Sycamore, Ills,
stating that James Young, the convict who
confessed to having murdered Allen had
been found by the jury to be perfectly
sane, and had been sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life. When asked if he had ex-
pected such result from Young's confess
sion and what effect it would have upon his
own case, Thomas replied that
he had never lost hopo-had always
thought that sooner or later something
would occur to establish his innocence Of
the Allen murder. He did not know what
steps would be taken toward getting him re-
leased. If the governor did not grant
him pardon he would probably get his case
before the courts on u writ of habeas
corpus and it would result in his discharge
