NEW YORK, October 3l.-Ferdi-
nand Ward, smiling aud perfectly
self-possessed, came into the crowed
court room this morning to receive
the sentence of the law for one of the
many crimes which he had committed
in the wor d of finance. The sheriff
and the warden of the Ludlow Street
jail accompanied him. Throwing off
his overcoat with an easy air, he
bowed to and shook hands with his
counsel. After some other matters
had been disposed of, General Tracy,
one OF Wards counsel, moved that
Judgment in the action be arrested
and that the defendant be grsnted a
new trial, stating various reasons
therefor, and District Attorney Mar
tyn then moved that Ward be sen-
fenced by the court. Ward arose aud
stood in front of the bar by the side
of his counsel. His face was pale but
firm, and he did not finch as Judge
Barret pronounced the sentence,
but stood unmoved while the court
poured upon his head the words OF
condemnation. The court room was
hushed and All almost impressive ST.

men who watched the prisoner with
feverish impotence. Judge Barrett
said: Ward, you have been convicted
