Says the Lordsburg Liberal.
THE judge OF the district court al
Albuquerque has queer idea oi
the eternal fitness of things In this
world. 1t will be remembered that
>. nj. Folsom, who wrecked the
Albuquerque National bapk and
the Savings bank, while president
OF both institutions, was convicted
on trial before the Albuquerque
court on seven counts and that
Judge Collier sentenced him TO
five years Imprisonment on each
count, but decided that he should
serve all seven sentences at one
time, thus practically making a
sentence of five years. 1t was
claimed that Mr.. Folsom got the
better of the banks in an amount
of over hundred thousand dol
lars. After Mr.. Folsom was tried,
convicted and admitted to bail to
await an appeal to the supreme
court, E. l.. Gilbert, another prom
incnt Albuquerqueau, was brought
before Judge Collier and tried on
similar charge Gilbert had been
agent of the Wells Fargo company
in Albuquerque and had EN-
bezzled 1850. On trial he was
on the one count. As
Judge Collier could only sentence
him once he gave 1t to him hard,
six years in the penitentiary. II

Collier it is better to steal a plenty
