Charge of Having Embexxled
State Funds and Will He
Sentenced Tomorrow.
TAYLOR NOW WITH THE SHERIFF.
The uslge Refuses to Place Taylor
Under BOnds and the Embexxler
Goes to Jail.

Pierre, s. d., Aug. 15.-'rhe court
room was crowded this morning with
people from all parts of the state. who
came to hear sentence pronounced In
the famous Taylor case.
About IL o'clock States Attorney
Holmes, for Hughes county, all
nounced that lie was ready to pre-
sent the arraignment against w. w.
Taylor, and he was called before the
court and arraigned OH the charge Of
embezzling $367,O23.S4 of the funds
OF South Dakota, collected by him and
in his hands at the time lie was to turn
over the same to his successor, Kirk
q. Phillips, Jan. 8, 1895. Horner T.
Stewart, counsel for Taylor, asked for
a few minutes conference with their
client before he should plead.
After u few minutes Taylor returned
to court and his attorneys filed de-
murrer to tile indictment on which he
was arraigned, claiming that the
grand jury which returned the indict-
ment had no authority to examine into
the offense charged, as it was commit
ted outside Of their jurisdictions; that
more than one offense was charged In
the Indictment. The demurrer was
submitted without argument and over
ruled by the judge. Taylor was then
asked If he was ready to plead and de-
clared himself ready.
The judge stated the facts of the in
dictment, to which Taylor pleaded
guilty, and the judge announced that
two days would be allowed to elapse
before judgment would be pronounced.
Toylor's attorneys then stated that
their client wished to waive the two
days allowed. and asked that sentence
be pronounced tomorrow and that
their client be admitted to bail. Judge
Gaffy granted the request in regard
to pronouncing Judgment. setting the
time at $50 a. H., but refused to fix
bail and remanded the defendant to
the custody of the sheriff. Taylor's
wife did not attend the trial, but his
brother is here from Lafayette, Ind,
and was in court. Taylor, as expected,
betrayed no excitement.
Indictments for conspiracy yet Stand
against II. NJ. Benedict, G. I. Mccoy,
John Il. McChcsney, d. X. Tenny and
Charles s. Wells, only the first two
ever having been brought into court
to plead to the indictments. and their
trials are set for the November term
of the circuit court. Judgments yet
stand against all the bondsmen, which
will not he set aside until the state is
fully reimbursed for all losses through
Taylor.
