merator

City Court - Criminal Side - Judge
| Thompson.
The scene at the trial of Frederick j..
Coleman, for theft from Leigh & Prindle,
yesterday morning before Judge Thomp-
son was affecting. The prisoners mother
was present and was overcome by her
emotions and tainted away. Coleman was
held on six charges, and Attorney Ely for
his client, pleaded guilty to each and
asked the court to be lenient. He said the
goods had all been recovered, that the
broken hearted mother was the principal
one punished, whatever became of the
son. He asked for light fine in each
case, that the boy might not have to asso-
ciate with criminals.
Judge Thompson didn't see it in that
light. He believed light Jail sentence
in each case would be the best corrective
influence He sentenced Coleman to ten
days in Jail on each count, sixty days in
all, and SAL COSTS Bonds were fixed at
500 in each case, but it is probable the
sentence will be served, without appeal.
