Erastus Wiman, thequondam philanthrop-
stand millionaire of Staten Island, convicted
Of forgery in the second degree, was SEN
fenced to five. years and six months in State
Prison. by Justice Ingraham, in the Court
OF Oyer and Terminer, New York City. Good
behavior will reduce his actual sentence to
three years. eleven months, fifteen days.
General Tracy and Lawyer Boardman, OF
Mr.. Wiman's counsel, were In the room when
the prisoner and his sons entered, and q
whispered conversation between the con-
victed man and his lawyers followed.
AS soon as the court officer had called the
court to order, General Tracy arose and
moved for new trial. He said that his mo-
tion was based on three grounds: First,
that the court had mischarged The jury /;
second. that the verdict was contrary to law,
and, third, that the verdict was contrary to
the evidence. .-
The motion was denied, and General
Tracy then argued for light sentence. He
called attention to the verdict Of the jury
recommending the prisonerto the mercy OF
the court, and also to the fact that Mr..
Wiman had made as complete restitution as
possible, by turning over not only his own
property, but that OF his wife, to the firm Of
r. G. Dun d Go. Lastly, General Tracy
asked that Justice Ingraham consider Dir.
Wiman's former good character, and also his
family.
At the conclusion of General Tracy's
speech the clerk OF the court called:
"Erastus Wiman to the bar"
Mr. Wiman arose and the clerk asked:
"Have you anything to say why the sent
tence of the court should not be lawfully
passed upon YOU"
For answer Mr.. Wiman shook his head.
Justice hgraham then addressed the
prisoner: H.
.'The duty have to perform Is extremely
painful, and one I would be glad to be rid
Of The law does not punish for vengeance.
It is not to crafty r. G. Dun or his associ-
ates, but the very existence ofsociety requires
that certain acts shall not be committed. In
this case there Is not presented single act
of misdoing under some great temptation.
For long period you constantly appropri-
ated the funds OF your business associates,
and after that committed forgery. MIR. Dun
50 trusted you that he did not examine your
accounts, and you violated trust as vel: as
appropriating the money OF others. Every
word In your letters produced here SHOWS
that you knew you had no right to take the
money you did. On the other hand, the jury
have strongly recommended mercy, and am
always glad to have the assistance OF the
Jury in cases of this sort. l am also asked
to consider your age, your former goou
character and your family. l have taken all
these things into consideration. The sentence
OF the court is that you be imprisoned 1or
five wears and SIX months in State Prison.
At the conclusion Of the sentence Mr.. WI
man was taken back to the Tomos.
