six months at hard L. Dor ut Saltwater j.
the sentence passed on Philip NJ. Srhejg
for rObbing the r. nix Of Minneapolis
willie in its employ as paying teller. In
a slow and impressive manner the court
addressed Scheig, wbO stood with down
cast eyes listening to What was said
EtfOre the sentence Of the court should
be pronounced.
ut IL a great mystery to the court"
began the judge, why you, with the
splendid opportunities which were open
bt fore. you, should deliberately turn your
back upon your opportunities. 1t il
strange that you should turn your back
uron the confidence Of your employers.
upon your wife, and your aged father
and mother. A reason appears, however,
from statements which have been made,
that your life has been fast and gay
one. You have gone from one stage of
dissipation to another until finally you
were compelled to take the money from
the bank to make the losses good. it
was necessary that this result should
come after such life. 1t is the object
Of the courts to deter crime and give a
warning to all young men who are in
clined to follow in your footsteps. There
is no occasion, however, for you to
abandon hope. You may retrieve if You
will. 1t is the hope of the court that
you determine during your stay in con-
fnement to lead the honest and proper
life. If you do, you may rest assured
that the hands Of sympathy and help
will be extended 10 you on al sides.
you are young man Of good ability
and the blight which the sentence Of
the court will fasten on your character
can be lived down.
The limit Of the punishment for the
crime to which you have pleaded guilty
is ten years, but you have frankly ad
mitted your guilt. You have assisted the
officials of the bank to recover their
property, and you have shown penitence
for your offense. In view of these facts
the court does not feel like inficting the
full penalty of the law upon you. 1t is
the sentence of the court that you b.
confined in the states prison a Saltwater
at hard labor for the term of seven years
ard six months"
