Constable Jsmieson Convicted.


BROOKLYN, March 23-Richard V. p.
Newton. the former Gravesend police JUS
tiee, pleaded guilty to the Indictment
charging him with conspiracy in the elec-
tion frauds in Gravesend, and threw him
self upon the mercy of the court. He was
then sentenced to nine months in the pen
itentiary and fine of $500
Newtou's plea Is, with the possible ex-
eeption of the McKane trial, the greatest
victory which the prosecution in the
GraNesend frauds has yet won. 1t came
entirely unexpectedly to his fellow towns
men, and until the last two or three days
1t had never been surmised by the prose
cution itself, The plea throws the Graves
end camp into CONSERVATION One of the
most powerful inhabitants has now given
up the fight, and the others do not see how
they can hope to fight their indictments
on trial successfully.

said: "If tried you could have been SEN
fenced as an extreme penalty to three
years in the penitentary and n fine of $500.

and expense which you have saved the
county by your plea of guilty"
He will spend thirty days in Jail before
going to the penitcntiary, unless Judge
Brown RENTS thirty days when the court
again sits on Monday next.
A verdict OF guilty of perjury, with u
strong recommendation to mercy, was
rendered by the jury in he case of Andrew

Non with the recent election frauds. The

guments Lieutenant Governor Gill an
nounced, at 10 o'clock last night, that he
could grant no reprieve
Meantime Prendergnst's lawyers here
had not been idle. They had raised the
question Of their clients responsibility by

to, and after hearing the arguments in the
ease he, shortly after / o'clock last night,

wherever there was difference of opinion
