COURT CHATTER.
ChaS. Sutton Sentenced to Two Years
in the Penitentiary-.-The Rapids
City Murder Trial Postponed.

The Sutton larceny case was given to
the jury at $50 yesterday afternoon, and
it only took that body half an hour to find
him guilty and fix his term at two years
in the penitcntlary. The crime was that
of stealing watch valued at SEQ from
John Feely last fall. The case was Wig
orously prosecuted but his youth had
something to do with his sentence. and
had he been hardened criminal he prob
ably would have received a heavier SEN
tence.
William Welch, the man charged with
the murder of Anthony Evans, at Rapids
City, March 16, 1880, was brought before
Judge Glenn Immediately after the con-
c!usi0u of the Sutton trial. His counsel,
Mr. j. W. Hurst, made Il motion to
quash the proceedings. Judge Glenn
overrulcd the motion, when States Attor>
ney Entrikin asked for 2 continuance.
stating that he was not prepared to so to
trial at the present time by reason Of a
lack of Witnesses, etc The counsel for
the defense objected to a continuance.
Mr.. Hurst made an eloquent appeal
against it, stating that the defendant was
accused of serious crime, and it was
unjust not to give him a hearing and to
keep him in jail three months longer
He was followed by Mr. Kenworthv,
and Judge Glenn said he would reserve
his decision until this morning. After
the calling of the chaEcery docket today,
the Judge allowed the motion For a con-
tinuance, and by agreement of the attor>
neys, on motion for continuance. bail
was fixed in the sum of $4,000 This
amount can be furnished by Welch.
John Kelly, who plead guilty to larceny
on Wednesday, was sentenced to years
confinement in prison this morning His
crime was the stealing Of an overcoat
from Isaac RothSChild, of Davenport, and
then coming over to this side and taking
another from Mr.. A, Loeb. He then went

come with the officers until rcquisition
was secured He will not need any more
overcoats for while, at least.
