the sometime philanthropist and capi,al-
list. convicted of forgery III the second de-
gree, was sentenced to Sing Sing by Judge
lngraham this morning In the Court OF
oyer and Terminer for FIVE years and
six months.
Mr.. Wiman. accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff Brown. came down from the
Tombs TO the courtroom at 9:30 o'clock.
The walk through Centre street was un-
marked by any demonstration for none,
perhaps, in the crowded street knew that
OF these two men one was the most con-
spicuous prisoner OF the day.
On reaching court Mr. Wiman ckatted
with his two sons freely, and was ap-
parently obllvious Of his surroundings.
With the exception OF an unusual pallor
that may be attributed TO his days I'm
the Tombs. as well as to the contempla-
uon or his position, the fallen nnarcier
showed no change.
As the judge seated himself. General
Tracy stood before him aud began an
earnest appeal for his client. General
Tracy based his motion for a new trial
on these grounds:
l. That the Court had misdlrected tho
jury ? That the verdict was clearly con-
trary TO law. s. That the verdict was
clearly against the evidence
Judge lngraham denied the motion for a
new trial. and then began 10 speak in a
tone which was so low that II could not be
heard at the reporters table, which was
not six feet away. As he progressed. how
ever, he was heard To mention that for a
long period Niman had appropriated the
money which was the property OF his as
sociates, and that he had finally resorted 70
forgery not in one. but in several in
stances. He spoke Of the letter-the letter
of confession--whi Wiman wrote. ac-
knowledging the forgery but passed IL or
with a mild criticism.
In speaking of ehe jury's recommenda-
ton to mercy, Judge lngraham announced
that he was willing - give fun force and
effect TO that recommendation. Then after
few remarks relative TO the standing OF
the condemned man in financial circles.
the Court proceeded to give sentence,
and said:
THE sentence Of the Court is that you
shall be imprisoned I'm the State prison at
Sing Sing for the term of five years and
SIX months at hard labor, which will bring

Communication, TO an end in the spring Of

As soon as sentence was passed. Mr..
Tracy made an appeal Tor stay OF eXecu-
ton on the ground that MIR. Wimsn had
4 great deal OF business 20 attend 10. and
Judge Ingraham told Deputy Sheriff Brown
10 Instruct Sheriff Sexton not to take Mn
Wman to the State prison at Sing Sing
until Tuesday next.
formal motion for an appeal was
made, but the closest friends Of MIR. Wi
man do not believe that II will be urged.
When sentence was passed Niman
made no demonstration Of any kind. He
was at once taken back to the Tombs.

The Weather Outlook-List of Starters
Probable Favorites.
NEW YORK, June 2O-The Suburban
handicap, in which a more widespread
interest is taken than in any decided on
the American turf, will be run at Sleeps
head Bay tomorrow. Great prepara-
tions have been made for the event and
if the weather should be fair $4,000 TO
100 persons will witness the race. II
is cloudy tonight, and the indications
are that rain will fall before morning.
II the rainfall is light, however, IT
Will only have the effect OF laying the
dust on the track, which is In superb
condition, and will make 1t all the faster.
Weather Prophet Dunn says the indi-
cations for tomorrow afternoon are
for fair weather. and this Will bring out
big crowd.
The official list of starters for the
great race with the jockeys, so far as
known, and their weights, sent out by
the Coney Island Jockey Club tonight, Is
as follows: Sir Walter, I'D, Doggett;
Ramapo. l20, Taral, Banquet, ll9, Simms;
Don Alonzo. ll9. l.amley; sport, III
Thompson; COmanche. liz, Martin; Cna-
rade. Ill, Blake: Pickpocket, ITO, =;
King Lee. 10, Thorpe; Henry OF Ma
varre los. Perkins; Kinglet, lO1, Griffin;
Stowaway, 100, McDermott.
A possible starter is ST. Michael, with
Bergen up. In the event Of st. Michaels 5
not starting, Bergen will probably ride
Pickpocket.
Clinords ailment, which was announced
yesterday and which renders 1t improb-
able that he will start in the handicap,
was a keen disappointment TO the turf
men. as IL was believed he would be an
important factor in the race. His aD-
sence has made the talent very sweet
on the chances of Ramapo, from Gideon
and Days stable. and he will probably

the game little son OF Midlothian, will be
next I'm demand in the betting, closely
pressed by Henry OF Navarro. Banquet
Don Aionzo, Sport, Pickpocket, and King
Lee will not want for backing, while
Comanche,' Stowaway, and Charade VIII
be the outsiders. All the horses carded
to start are trained TO the hour and an
exciting contest is looked for.
