william H. Ramscar, who dubbed pay
ing boarder at his Unsectarian Home after the
boarder had objected to being put into the
attic instead of into the room he had paid for
in advance. was arraigned yesterday In the
General Sessions before Recorder Smyth to re-
ceive sentence. He stood up In his ministerial
clothes and smiled penignly upon an attrac-
tive young woman who sat amid the en-
closure for women witnesses. She was his
bride OF few weeks standing. He married
her almost Immediately after the death OF his
| first wife. and was bridegroom whom he OBJ
tained one Of the many adjournments that he
begged from the Court upon the ground that he
| had to attend the funeral OF his sainted wife"
When asked II he had anything TO say why
judgment should not be pronounced upon him
he squared of and faced the Recorder with
tho air OF q clergyman about to deliver q SER
mon. He is an Englishman. and his cockney-
ism came out in his handllng 81 hs-partic-
ulary when he said Your H-honor. lie
asked for clemenoy on his record as phen-
thropist, which he proceeded to state. Among

Recorder Smyth was short with Ramscar. He
said
n: and 6 a IN
second degree. when It would have been my duty to
have sentenced to State prison for period Of be-
tween years But the Jury, inclined to
think took the fhct that the class Of
men that you had In your home men between the age
Of 10 and 80 were rather difficult to MANAGE at timeH
There Ia no question however, that you made q cruel
and unprovoked assault upon feeble old man, and
why should not impose the extreme
penalty under your conviction. at least far the
term of Imprisonment Is concerned Tho sentence Of
Court that be imprisoned in tho penitentary
for year and hne Of SlUO and that you stand
committed exceeding day for every dollar until
the tine Is paid.
Ramscar's face flushed as he turned from tho
bar. In the corridor. when he was being taken
back to the Tombs. he lovingly EN- braced bis
young wife. She was the mRtron OF tho |
Home" in the latter part oil his first wifes life.
Ramscar. 1t is understood will appeal from tho
conviction.
