Milwaukee Rioters Let on with Lecture.

The three rioters, Carl Mussfeldt, John
guilty by a jury at Milwaukee, were brought
into court to be sentenced. Mussfeldt t, who
was the only one OF the three who could
understand English, was ordered by the
Judge to stand up. Being questioned,
he stated that he had four children and
was poor man. He. was attired in q
coarse blouse and overhalls, and when the
judge asked him. Have you any thing to
say why sentence should not be passed up.
on you?" the prisoner broke down and
wept. Judge Sloan said:
These men are all strangers to me. have
tried to find out something about them
over Sunday. In view OF all the circum-
stances OF the case have been inclined to
think thatit will not be best to infliet very
severe sentence on the three defendants.
No doubt the finding OF the jury was right,
but the court is, and has been all along,
inclined to be lenient in all cases OF mere
misdemeanor. t.s5ssys 81
Addressing himself to the prisoner, who
was still obbing and drying his tears with
a red handkerchief, Judge Sloan said:
Mr.. Mussfeldt, want you to understand
that II sentence is suspended aud you 60
out Of this court room a free man, You
must behave yourself. II you act like a
good citizen and support your family, aen.
tence will never be inflicted upon you. II,
on the contrary, you should take to riot
ing again, as you did last May, heavy SEN
tence will be visited upon you. Upon these
terms suspend sentence.
Applause broke from the audience in the
back ofthe room which the Judge promptly
suppressed. The terms OF the judges rul-
ing were explained to the other prisoners,
who had been unmoyed listeners to the
judges remarks, and they took their de-
parture. ..a .s5s;

bill OF separation in the superior court
against her husband, William Fl. Ferry.
The bill alleges that the parties were mar
ried on Oct. -, 1875, and lived
together as man and wife until some
time in 1886. They had five chill
dren, named respectively, John Far.
well, aged ten; Frank, eight; Willie, six;
Montague, five, and Horace Ferry, three.
The complaint charges: Almost immedi-
ately after the solemnization OF the mar
riage VOWS Mr.. Ferry commenced course
Sof tyrannical and abusive conduct toward
the complainant, which continued with
very slight intermissiou until they sep
arated eleven months ago. So inhu-
man was the treatment she received at
his hands that it was unsafe and i'm
proper for the complainant to live with him.
About March the 80, 1880, the defendant,
in addition to the large property. OF which
he was the owner at the time OF their mar
riage, inherited by the death OF his father
an estateworth about $50, 900, but refused
her decent provision for her support and
compelled her TO perform meuiai duties
and drudgery. He wouldn't give her
money With which to buy her clothes for
the children. The materials from which
the children's clothing was made were
generally cast-of garments OF the defend
ants family. She went without new
hat for seven years after she was married,
and had to wear old dresses made over.
