!, from the jury sentence and make it two
: years. Jones was not altogether a bat
looking a and may not, as Judge Ky
land hopes, ever repeat his crime.
w. w. Moir, the Jackson county forger
was a different sort of n man. Under {
pair OF bright, glistening, yet character
less blue eyes he has a remarkably weak
chin and recklessness is one of the leading
characteristics of his expression. There
was no contrition il Moir's demeanoi
and no Communication in his sentence. He
got six years, and only smiled a SINAI
sickly smile when he got it.
Chris Dollarhide was the next to take
the stand, but his attorney, John Black
well, took it for him and asked that the
sentence be reduced to six months in the
county Jail. The prosecutor consenting,
the judge so pronounced.
Isaac III. Nations, recommended for
three years by the jury had nothing to
say and the work of the jury was confirm
ed.
Henry Payne, a large mulatto with a
brutal face and cruel lower jaw had moth
ing to advance in his own Interest, and
the Judge after a kindly lecture sentenced
him to three years.
Anton Kline is a born h%orsethief and
kleptomaniac. He was guilty OF horse
stealing at the age of eleven years, and
had often since committed a like offense,
But poor boy, one to look at his weakened
face, almost devoid of human intelligence,
at his eyes, where nought save the in.
stinct of an animal is seen, at his badly
shaped head where manly strength and
power to determine right from wrong are
almost totally absent, and to see all this
would not hold him responsible for crime,
The r~eformatory is the place for him, and
after that a home. where his weakness lie
known and where his shortcomings can
be overlooked and forgiven.
Ben l.. Adams, had a very snakish look
was nervous, restless and had a bad head
and conntenance. He had been found
guilty OF grand larceny. The Judge made
no change in the findings of the jury.
VIM. Nelson was caught trying to tap a
safe in an agricultural implement. house,
in Lexington, one Sunday morning. Mr..
Nelson plead hat he was very drunk on
the occasion of this, his first crime, &C.
cording to his story, n agreed with the
judge that a little term of two years in
the state prison, would not only cure him
of trying to drill holes in other peoples
money safes, but act as an injection of BIZ
chloride of gold in preparing him for a
temperance lecturer.
Henry Jones was about as black as the
fnsida of q sOft oooI'cfoya opl corr;ad h;u
character in his face with .commendable
ease. He was found guilty of larceny and
burglary, and the judge gave him five
years without lit.
Old Harrison Miller was pulled on a
charge of assault to commit rape. Harri-
ION was IS years old, and his attorney, r.
A. Hicklin, who doubted the old mans
guilt, begged that the assessment of the
jury be reduced to a six months Jail SEN
tence. 1t was SO ordered.
An all round bad one in looks, in de-
meanor and in countenance was Robert
Wilson, whose. punishment the Judge had
assessed at five years. This young man
had committed larceny. He is shrewd,
sharp and reckless, association with crime
is all that is necessary to make him a
criminal of the most hardened sort.
