The facts in the case in which Judge
Bartlett of Bibb supreme court has been
severely criticized on the grounds of pass
ing too severe a sentence on negro are as
follows: The Macon Telegraph has
been greatly annoyed by negroes enter
ing It's office and stealing newspapers
from which they clipped worlds fair cou-
pons and sold them The negro in ques-
tion raised window of The Telegraph
Office in the night time and kept it up by
means Of plank. He then entered and
stole 300 copies of The Telegraph contain
ing coupons, and which were worth to
The Telegraph cents a piece, or 5000
for the whole. The negro was de-
tected cutting out the coupons. He was
presented to the grand jury as an example
and warning to other paper thieves, and
a true bill for the burglary was found
against him. He was tried in the su-
perior court for burglary, convicted and
recommended to mercy. The Judge SEN
fenced him to the penitentiary for two
wears. The shortest term for which he
could have sentenced him, under the law,
was one year, and the longest twenty
years. Eleven of the jury favored YER
dict for burglary without recommended
tion to mercy and one juror favored a
verdict of larceny from the house. A
compromise was agreed on by recommend
ing him to mercy on the verdict of bur
glary.
