Judge Kennedy Gives Young Havers
II Years to Riverside.
BE is TIRED OF THE woRKHOUsE.
Lester Gets Four Years for Stabbing Cal
houn on Grant Street.
SEVERAL SUITS FOR DAMAGE ENTERED

Charles Havers, the desperate criminal
who escaped from the workhouse after hav-
ing beaten Keeper Eberhardt almost to
death, was sentenced by Judge Kennedy
yesterday to 10 years in the penitentiary
and to two years in the workhouse. This,
with his unexpired term in the workhouse,
will make his imprisonment about % years
There were four charges of larceny
against him, one of escaping from the
workhouse, one for telonious assault and
battery, and one for larceny and receiving
stolen goods He is about % years of age,
get looks the hardened criminal and reck-
less desperate. He appeared anxious to
plead guilty, with the probable res ult of
getting a mild sentence, and the scowl on
his face when Judge Kennedy had finished
disappointment.
He Had Not Much TO Say.
"what have you to say why sentence
should not be passed upon you?" asked the
the Judge.
Nothing much, Judge" the prisoner re-
piled.
''The charges against you are numerous
and serious, aud viii have to impose upon
you heavy sentences, to take effect after
the expiration of your term in the work
house." said Judge Kennedy.
"WelI, want to be sent to the peniten-
tiary, where l can reform. L did not want
to go to the workhouse and tried to get out. 1
was not guilty of the crime of which l was
convicted. Now, want to go where l can
do better and reform"
''You shall have the chance" replied the
Judge.
The Sentence of the Court.
''The sentence of the Court is that on the
charge of felonious assault and battery you
be confined in the penitentiary five years;
on the four charges of burglary, three years
each; on the charge of larceny, two years
and on the charge of escaping from the
workhouse two years to the worhhouse.
All these sentences are to commence after
your unexpired term in the workhouse is
out, and each of the sentences to commence
after the former one expires"

FOUR YEARS FOR LESTER,

The First Legal Victim of the Homestead
Strike With Tears He Begged for
Shorter Sentence, Which Was Re-
fused.
David Lester, the private of the Eight
eenth Regiment who stabbed Frank Cal
houn on Grant street, pleaded guilty before
Judge Kennedy yesterday to felonious as
sault and battery, and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for term of four years. Al
though numerous informations tor various
otfenses growing out of the Homestead riot
have been made this is the first sentence i'm
posed. When Lester was brought before
the bar, Calhoun related the story of the as
saulI, stating that Lester stabbed him with
his bayonet once in the side, the weapon
penetrating his lung, the second blow
struck the liver and the third the stomach
He stated that his physician did not yet
consider him out of danger, and that if COM
plications should arise resulting from the
wound in the liver death might yet be the
result.
After the prosecutor had concluded his
remarks, Judge Kennedy turned sharply to
Lester, and said:
That is not the way to preserve the repu.
lhllOu Ol TIE Suhruh
II know it Your Honor, but was under
the influence of liquor" replied Lester.
That is poor excuse" answered the
Judge, "and you deserve severe punish
menL Had this man died you would have
been hanged. The extreme penalty for this
offense is seven years imprisonment, but on
account of your youth 1 will not impose it
on you. The sentence of the Court is that
you pay the costs of the prosecution, fine
of 64 cents and undergo an Imprisonment
of four years in the Western penitentlary. I"
After the prisoner had been led back to
the dock he was again called before the
Judge at his own request. With streaming
eyes and in quivering voice he begged the
Judge to reduce his sentence. He urged as
an inducement that he had wife and two
children besides his mother and invalid
sister depending on him for support
81 am sorry" said Judge Kennedy, ''but
your sentence is only commensurate with
your crime. You are fortunate the man
did not die. 1 cannot reduce your SEN
tence."
Testers face paled and his hands trembled
as he tottered from the courtroom to his
cell in the Jail District Attorney Bur-
leigh said that had Calhoun died it would
have been the easiest matter in the world to
convict Lester of murder in the first degree.

There was sound Of revelry by

And Minnesota's city had gathered
Her bar-rooms and her sensuality,
and bright
The lamps shone DER foul women
and bad men
A thousand hearts beat madly ; and
Cheers arose with their unmeaning

Debauched men reeled in and cat

And all went gay as clown with cap

But hush bark ! a deep sound
