circuit court room by sheriff Nelson
4nd Deputies H4aiey and CClAus- lie
sas brought before Judge Dlckerman
o. receive hls sentence IA what L
known a. the Olson case. Before I'M
posing sentence Judge Dickerman
asked Mr. DeLong, attorney for Jacks.
u he wished % -ay anything.
Mr.. DeLOng addressed the court
briefly, and -ald ia i fact that the
defendant mas been convicted, and that
the Jury has determined the value ot the
goods % be 500. 10 IS known 10 the
court that the responder. mas been con
tined Tor Two years. The man Is bank
rupt, and has become so through these
proceedings. The court knows also
Jacks possessed OF sufficient .ntell-
geuce % make useful citizen IN the

the court would drop of 4 portion OF

complauA. The court knows there are

Judge IDlckerman then ordered the
prsOnerltO stand up, and inquired #
tne pusduer had anything 20 say why
sentence should not b. passed To TINS
the rtsp9ndent replied. "Only that you
consider the punishment | have had
already, and De as easy a. you can on
me-"
Judge Dlckerman than began 4 short
tax tO the prisoner, reviewing briefly
the history or the eases, the trials, etc,
and touched lightly on Jacks sur
rOundIngs, hls family connections, and
concluded by sentencing hlm 10 the
state prison at Jackson for the full
term OF tye years at hard labor, from
and including tins day, which Is the
tuu extent OF the law IL eases Of this
kind.
To account for the presence OF all
the stolen property IN ms rooms, Jacks
told on the witness stand the oft re-
pcated ana now familiar story about
finding them IN 4 barn. That every
word of that story uttered by Jacks on
the witness stand was false, there can
hardly Dc shadow OF doubt. The
Jury that tried him, pronounced ii lie
from beginning 10 end. George seems
% have invented this story as final
and desperate resort, but It would not
