PIGGY" GETS FORTY YEARS.
O'Leary Sentenced for Numbering His
Mistress and Sister.

O'Lesry Sentenced for Numbering His
Mistress and Sister.
CHICAGO January "A great crowd
streamed into Judge Shepard's court this
morning to hear sentence passed OF Corne
hus, alias PIGGY" O'Leary, the brutal
murderer Of his mistress aud his sister.
The prisoner, accompanied by two bailitfs,
walked into the court room with firm
step. AS he glanced about over the crowds
OF spectators he did not finch, and he took
his seat ina quiet manner. Among those
present TO listen to the prisoner fate were
his father, mother and sister who took q
lively interest in the proceedings.
The sentencing OF the prisoner took but
a short time. In the first place Judge
Shepard reviewed the circumstances of the
criReGs given 10y the witnesses he re.
marked that in his opinion o Leary crime
was murder, though he was indicted for
both murder and msnslaughter. He had
killed his victims without much proyoca-
ton but owing TO his drunken condition
a. the time Of the murder, the court was
inclined 10 believe that the crime did Lot
warrant him in pronounClng the extreme
penalty. The court then sentenced him to
tory years, which will be reduced 10
twenty years on good behavior.
