THAT DOODLE OUTFIT
Judge White Makes the Punishment
Fit the Crime in Sentences.
THEY STILL PROTEST INNOCENCE.
bon. Walter Lyon Enters Suit Against the
Jeanette InfractOrs.
THE TEXT OF THE COMPLAINT IN FULL.

Judge White sentenced the Aldermen and
the Bauder gang yesterday. He refused
new trials, saying that the evidence showed
Bauder, Doyle, Bender, Dougherty, Nagle
and Stoner to be engaged in a conspiracy,
and that the evidence justified the convlc-
tion of the Aldermen found guilty. In i'm
posing sentence Judge White said he con.
sidered Bauder and Doyle as the prime
movers; to both of them he gave sentence
OF three years to the workhouse. To Dough-
e-ty he gave two years, to Nagle one year,
and to Bender six months, all to the work
house. Bender's sentence was made light
because he did not attempt concealment,
but told the truth.
When the Aldermen were called up for
sentence Judge White said he regarded Cal
lens case as the worst and so did the jury.
Calen's attorney put in plea on the ground
OF the prisoners family, his record as soldier
ana as citizen, sayina the case was not as bad
as the prosecution had made out. Judge White
sald ne had sad duty to perform. He sem
fenced Callen three years to the workhouse; he
regarded Doughty as almost as bad as Callen,
out as the jury had recommended mercy he
made his sentence one year to the workhouse:
Maneese he thought, had followed the exam
pie OF older Aldermen, but was not bad man,
and as he too had been recommended to mercy
ms sentence would be six months to the work
house. The counsel for the Aldermen
says an appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court Justice Clark
OF the Supreme Court, will be in the city
next week, and motion for special allocatur
Will be made before him in the cases of all those
sentenced. If the motion is granted it will allow
the release of all of those sentenced, on bail
until the case is argued and decided before the
supreme Court Justice Clark will probably be
mere on Monday, and the motion will be made
at once.
NEW TRIALS REFUSED.
The Court commenced the proceedings by
refusing the prisoners counsePs motion for
new trial in the following opinion.

Overrufing the plea of autrefois in the convfc-

injurious or prejndicial to the other defendants.
If they had not been defendants in this trial all
evidence proving the original conspiracy and con-
have been admissible.
The Indictment charges conspiracy OF Ma

and evil-disposed persons.'' And in the bill Of

the defendant conspired with L.. j. Bender. W.

BAUDER ATTACKS CASSIDY.
In sentencing the prisoners Judge White, ac-
'ording to the usual practice. asked if any
# them had anything to say. Bauder replied:
''Jnst this, your Honor" he said, advancing
few steps. with regard to informations en-
cred by me before Alderman Cassidy, wish
o say that those informations were entered at
he request Of Alderman Cassidy, who ad-
anCoQ me SlU IOr the WOFk. he W1SneQ to /

Prosecuting friends of the department. He

This statement, of course produced sensa-
ion. Judge White and District Attorney
'orter consulted for several minutes, and
hen together whispered several minutes
1ore with Mr.. Burleigh. Assistant Superin-
endent O'Mara was the only representative of |
be Department of Public Safety who han
ened to be in the court room. He was ad-
ised to lie down, but retained his composure. |
