SENTENCES
Court me. Tuesday at 9 am. and after
hearing quite a number of motions and pc
ti;ions, including motion to Sc; aside the
verdict in the Heberling case, for the reason
that one of the jurors, Ex.lanitOr OF the
Court House, Tom Brown, mad heard the
case when tried at March Sessions aud had
expressed his opinion that Heber.ing was
guilty. and if he were on that jury he would
convict, proceeded to call the prisoners for
sentence
The first prisoner called in was John
Young, who plead guilty to larceny III the
North Washington case. John Is but nine
teen years of age, aud the Court asked him
several questions If there was any arrange
ment between him and the other defendants
in the case regarding his evidence, why he
didn't testify TO what he afterwards told the
Court, if any money had been paid him to
testify or not to testify to certain things, why
baw.u IL. kay "
kew would open the store door and If they
had the church KEY with them that night.
John said there was no arrangement regard
ing his evidence and that no money was paid
him for it. bur he could not or did not ex-
pain things and the Court sentenced him 10
pay costs, restore property and be imprison-
ed in the penitentiary for one year, and said
he was of the opinion that Justlse had Deen
defrauded IN this case.
John Fuhs, or DIR. Fuhs, an old German
from Evans City, probably seventy years of
ace was the next prisoner called. The jury
had convicted him Of assault and battery
upon his wife, and of desertion, and the
Court told him that it was unfortunate that
he and his wife could n0t live together on
good terms after having raised family. The
DIR. wanted to argue the case with the Court
but the Court thought TIE prisoner had had
his say and it was now the Courts turn, and
sentenced him to pay the costs and fine Of
SO. In the AGE case, and to pay his wife
$40 a month in the desertion case, and give
bond in $500. Fuhs said ne wouldn't do 1t,
and went to Jail shaking his head vigorous
ly.
Philip Freemeyer who was found not
guilty Of false pretense, but ordered by the
iury 70 pay costs, was brought IN and SEN
fenced TO ray them. Philip said he had
nothing and his attorneys tried to have him
discrarged under the insolvent laws but the
Court thought that he should have good
chance to paw the costs before being let go,
and he was en- back TO jail. 1t was as
serted ip Court that Philip had served terms
in both the penitentiary and work house, on
sentences passed by the Courts OF neighbor-
ing cotnties.
Little Joe Wise OF Butler, who was return.
ed to Court few days ago on charge of
larceny preferred by one of our grocers, and
who plead guilty. was next attended to. He
could give no excuse for his pilfering, and
the Court sent him to the reform School.
A motion was made to deter the sentence
in the Heberling case till Friday the 29th,
and as the attorneys for the prosecution had
no objections, Heberling's sentence was de-
ferred till then, and Court adjourned until
Thursday the 2Sth at 8 am.
