thur Stone, at Zillah, was dismissed upon
motion OF the prosecuting attorney.
The case Of the state vs.. Fred Grentz,
who pleaded guilty to grand larceny, the
court imposed a sentence OF one year in
the penitentiary; John Lutz, his partner,
who pleaded not guilty to charge OF
petty larceny, was sentenced TO u month
in the county Jail and to pay fine OF
500 and costs. In the first instance the
sentence was the minimum and in the
latter ii was the maximum penalty. In
this case the judge spoke OF his leniency
with one and severity with another, re-
marking that in his mind guilt was self
evident, and that he had no excuse for
the plea Of not guilty entered by Lntz.
He said: Fairy stories enough have
been told in this court, and the inno-
cence of Lutz is about as easy to believe
a. to imagine bill OF sale written on a
piece OF paper on a lonely road at 10
O'Clock at night" This sally brought
forth smiles all over the court room at the
expense Of the attorneys for Rogers, who
had given such story for his defense in
the wagon stealing case last week.
