Years in the Penitentiary.
Seattle, Wash, March %. - Ex-City
Treasl rer Adolph Krug, who was Mon
day last convicted of unlawfully using
100000 of the city's money in completely
with Henry Fuhrmann, was sentenced
by Judge Moore last night to seven
years at hard labor in the penitentiary
and to pay all costs. An appear has been
taken and he will remain out on bonds.
Before sentence was passed there was u
long argument lasting until late at night,
on motion for stay of judgment,
which was denied. The principal ground
for the motion was that the present city
charter is absolutely invalid and that
Krug had therefore never been a public
officer. If the supreme court sustains
Krug's attorneys position on this point
it will invalidate all bonds, street grading
crossings, ETC., for years past.
