PIERRE is LUCKY.
Gets Off With Two Years
Imprisonment.
A Case in Which Judge Wallace of
His Own Motion Discharged
the Jury.

Felix Pierre had lucky escape yester-
day from severe sentence. which would
certainly have been imposed upon him had
he been convicted of an assault with in
tent to commit murder upon C. n. Dut-
ton.
The com planning witness is a barber
and for some time Pierre was retained in
his employ. One morning, W he n recover.
ing from the effects of somewhat heavy
spree of the night before, Pierre insisted
that Dutton owed him a dollar, and de-
manded immediate payment of the same.
Dut on reminded his bellcose assistant
that be bad paid him his dollar the night
before. when Pierre was the worse for
liquor. Pierre denied this, and there was
a row, ending in Pierre drawing his razor
and laying his employers face open in
several places. Pierre was arrested and
held for trial on the charge of an assault
to murder.
The case was tried before Judge Wallace
and jury yesterday. but after the iury
had retired some little time to consider
their verdict they were called in by the
Judge, Of his own motion and against the
objection of Assistant District ATTORNEY
Black. and told that in the Judgment of
the court the crime committed was moth
| ing more serious than an assault with a
deadly weapon.
Under the circumstances the jury we're
discharged as having failed to agree upon
verdict. 1t subsequently tEanspired that
they stood ten to two in favor OF conyic-
! ton upon the grayer charge.
Immediately upon the discharge of the
jury Pierre, by his attorneys, offered to
plead guilty TO the charge of an assault
with deadly weapon, and, the plea being
accepted, Insisted upon taking his sentence
forthwith. Judge Wallace consented, and.
remarktng that the Otfense was most ag.
gravated one, and that it was a pity that
the law did not permit a more severe sem
teDce, ordered Pierre to be confined in the
State prison at San Quentin for the pe-
riod of two years.
