New York. Dec. s6.--Expolice Can
tam John Stevenson, the first Of the
police officials tried and convicted as
an outcome of the exposures brought
about by the Lexow committee. was
sentenced by Judge Ingraham in the
court OF Oyer and Terminar today to
three years and nine months' imprls-
fine.
on December l2. after trial which
lAsted three days, the cN-captan was
FOUND guilty OF bribery. he having,
while In charge Of the Esflh precinct
received four baskets OF peaches from

Stevenson held a whispered CONVEX

Justice lnEraham In very quiet
manner addressed the convicted ex-otti-
Ger and said:
stevenson. you have been convicted
Of bribery on evidence that was abso-
lutely convincing, and no man after
hearing it could come to any other con-
clusiOn, The amount you gut-S6
worth OF peaches-is OF no consequence
In the fixing OF the penalty for your
crime. While you were a public officer,
invested with power you used It
Tor your own benefit. The law gives
me great discretion in fTlng your pun
ishment. Innocent persons, namely,
your wife and children, will suffer
from your being punished and deeply
regret It. l consider yours TO be a
most serious offcnse. but ! have re-
celved a Recommendation from some
OF the jurymen to which I must give
great weight. l have also received
several letters from merchants who
knew you and they say that you never
attempted TO extort none yfrom them
or accept bride.
"On the other hand I have received
communications which show that the
complaint on which you were CON
yicted was not an Isolated case.
II Will endeavor to fix punishment
not excessive or severe, but which, 10
my mind, will show that this oflcnse Is
serious one, and that public officials
must perform their duties without he
ing influenced one way or the other by
bribery.

you be confined in states prison for
three years and nine months and pay
