and nine months in the pcntentiary at
Sing Sing and to pay a fine of $1,000

COnmittoe ceased long ago. but Wedncs-
day marks an epoch in the history of its
lab0cs nevertheless. 1t is the consum-
nation of its first great case, and now no
one can doubt that almost endless

panyinS sentences, will follow. The re-
form movement has gained full Roadway
and will sweep everything before it. The
last hope of the corrupt police has gone,
and they know, one and all, what they

more. 1t is likely to be a race to see who
can tell all he knows first, and in that
the victory is greater and more far-reach-
ing than would appear from the mere
statement that Stephenson has been sen
fenced. Capt. Stephenson was about :he
first man of any Importance TO get caught
in the LeXow net. and when he was turn
ed over TO the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner and found guilty by 4 jury there
was quaking all along the line.
