LIGHT SENTENCE FOR DusISBEmRx
The Puyalisp Bank Thief Gets OnIy
Three Yeark.

TACOMA, Sept. "a Especial is. B.
Dusinberre. the ex-cashier of the Bank of
Puyallup, was sentenced TO three years
Imprisonment In the state penitentiery by
Judge Parker in the superior court this
afternoon, under circumstances of unusual
interest. The prisoner made short ad-
dress in which he exonerated every one
from any completely IN his embezxie-
ments and made plea for short sentence
on account OF his wife and aged mother.
He appeared handsome, and his bearing
all through created favorable i'm preston.
He was dressed in black cutaway coat
and grey trousers and wore VI hite tie.
he was dignified throughout. and though
the tears fell from his eyes when he re-
ferred to his wife and mother he preserved
his composure. The address was in brief
as follows:
II have no words of extenuation for the
crime of which ! stand convicted. Two
years ago no one could bring any accuss-
tion against me for wronging anybody. ]
then engaged in a project which | was
financially unable TO make q success, and
having a false pride about 1t l appro~
priated the funds of the bank to apply to il.
The times grew hard, the bank failed spd
the inevitable came. For months before
the close of the bank my life was a hell
upon earth. Then I wen, to those in
charge aud confessed to my defalcation. I
said that asked no protection for myself,
but said that wanted to protect my wife
in case q criminal prosecution ensued.
Sufficient to support my wife during my
incarceration excepted, l offered to give
up everything. or all unreservedly, leaving
myself penniless. in case there was no
criminal prosecution. Recognizing the
dsaasr OF papers in the case
they agreed to these latter
terms and gave mp everything. The in
formations flied are very misleading, es-
pecially as TO the amount of my defalca-
ton. Finally, have no plea TO make for
myself. To one like myself one day in
the penitentiary is as hard as ten years
would be TO some. ask some considera-
tion, however. on account of my wife,
who is left without means of support. and
for my aged mother, who is now on a sick
bed whittier she was brought by the news
of my wrong-doing. | ask you. ii posi-.
bic, TO make my sentence such that | can
retrieve my name before ner death.
The sentence was then pronounced and
the prisoner bowed and took his seat. He
said subsequently that he had nothing to
say for publication. but that he thought
the sentence rather severe. though IL was
not for him TO judge Of this.
