The criminal docket was taken up this
morning,
Albert Nichols was arraiSned on an indict
ment for breaking Al d entering in the night
time the unoceupied dwelling house of Sarah
C. Smith of Augusta. and larceny of wearing
i apparel therefrom. His plea was gull '.
Rev. Mr.. Skeele appeared as the friend of
Mr.. Nichols, saying he had known him about
two years, and had come to think of him as
an inod 'nsive, well meaning and hard work
ing man, whose worst snemy was iutoxicat
ing liquor. Upon the efforts of Nichols was
depending the support of sick wife and
three children who would be Obliged to go 10
the City Farm if this support were removed.
While he did not wish 10 say anything to
prevent just sentence, he felt iha, this was
a case in which the Judgment of the cout
should be tempered with ms rcy, and II the
man were set at liberty or had imposed on
him light sentence he should feel that il
was in accordance with Justice.
Upon inquiry of officers of the court and
of the prisoner himself, it was ascertaiued
that the man had before been In trouble for
