A MAN WHO MURDERED HIS SIS
TER GETS 10 YEARS

CHICAGO, January "A great crowd streamed
into Judge Shepards court this morning TO hear
the sentence passed on Cornelius, alias "Puggy''
O Leary, the brutal murderer of his mistress and
his sister. Among those present to listen to the
prisoner fate were his father, mother and sister,
who took lively interest in the proceedings Judge
shepard remarked that, in his opinion, OLeary s
crime was murder, though he was indicted for both
murder and manslaughter. He had killed his vic
ums with much provocation, but owing to his
drunken condition at the time of the murder the
court was inclined to believe that the crime did not
warrant him in prOnuuncing the extreme penalty.
The court then sentenced him to forty years. which
will he reduced to twenty wears ON good behavior.
