James Radford Sentenced for Five Years
Other Criminal News.

Other Criminal News.
In the district court today Judge. Hazen
overruled the motion for new trials in the
cases of Bill McKelvey, Mary Marshall.
Amos Brubaker and James Radford.
McKelvey was charged with cattle
stealing and the new trial was asked for
on the ground that a man should not be
imprisoned on the testimony of an &C
complice. Judge Hazen held that there
was enough substantiatory evidence to
warrant the jury's verdict.
Amos Brubaker, found guilty of
stealing hogs, contended that the evi
dence did not justify the verdict Judge
Hazen decided that it did.
Mary Marshall is a notorious color
ed woman who grabbed a roll of bills
from man as he was coming out of a
store. She was found guilty of grand
larceny. Joe Ensminger was unable to
secure a new trial for her.
James Radford is crippled colored
boy who was proven to have burglarized
o. Boyer's meat market on lower Kan
sas avenue. None of the prisoners were
sentenced today except Radford. Judge
HaZen imposed on him the minimum
sentence for burglary in the second
degree, five years. In sentencing
the boy. Judge Hazen said with some
feeling that the sentence was too heavy
for one in Radford's physical and mental
condition, but he had no alternative. "If
you behave we'll after six months is up
the judge said, 81 will do all l can to
have you pardoned out"

writes the following letter in reply to a
letter recently published from Mr.. Frey
In regard to the reinstatement of man
who lost his position during the strike of
last summer:
TOPEKA, Kansas, May 5th, 1895.
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
In your issue of May 2nd, you publish
letter from ]. J. Frey of Topeka, to
Lawyer Tosh of Argentine, relative to
the reinstatement of Mr.. B.
Mr.. Frey says: "The case of Mr.. B.
was fully investigated and carefully cou-
sidered.''
A man who believes in the fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of man can't
be member of the general managers
association, but man who says by his
every act that money is in the saddle and
must ride at any cost, is just the stuff.
With such man as Investigator what
show would a member of the dinner
bucket" brigade have, either A. R Q. or
otherwise?
This man quit because his manliness
forbade him working any longer You
will find no sem bIance of scabbing about

and assist my brothers who are in trouble
at Pullman" Mr.. Frey says. sit is not
your fight. Let each man fight his own
battles and if the rest of the bosses will
stay with me we will starve them al"
He said further: "Mr. B. it seems
preferred to take the latter course, and
by that means render aid and assistance
TO those who were in open rebellion
against US Such rebellion was without
cause or justification in the remotest de-
gree"
Let US see where the rebellion started.
His company was entreated by A R. q.
committeeman to drop the Pullman
sleepers until Pullman would arbitrate
with his men. Did they do it? No.
| they said: "Why. George M. Pullman is in
the ring-to beat him is to beat
US. We corporation fellows have
got to pull together; if one
| of us gets into trouble the rest of US must
rally to his support No, we will help
Mr.. Pullman, we don't care anything
| about you fellows who have created our
wealth; you can step down and we will
wear out another set of men,"
The A. R .. said: mo; our brothers
are in want and distress at Pullman and
we will not assist any corporation to
| grind them still lower"

eeJOLLIED" THE POLICE.
For That Reason Two Migrants Got Heavy
Punishments.

For That Reason Two Migrants Got Heavy
Punishments.
Vagrancy was the charge on which G.
A. Goosey and Sam McCalgern were
tried in the police court today. Goosey
was sassy" to the court aud he got
thirty days. McCalgern who was surly
and merely too strong to work was fined
SEQ 1t appears to have been a case of
mutual dislike between the officers and
the vagrants. The young men have been
spending most of their time in the City
park, and when Officer Gaines in citizens
clothes would go through the
park Goosey would give the
alarm. "there goes a spotter." The
evidence showed that both of the young
scamps were in the habit of joshing the
officers and calling them ''rube police"
and other things offensive to their Of
fetal dignity. The evidence showed also
that the two never worked, had no visl-
BILE means of support, and had been sus-
pected of number of robberies. They
were found sleeping in barn in the
west end of town when they were ar
rested. Young Goosey nearly fell off
the chair when Judge Ferry gave him
thirty days, for Judge Ferry is a mild
man. Had the young man acted less
-'smart" in court he might have got off
easier

AGITATORS ACTIVE.

Cuban RevOIutiOnists are Working Hard
For More Support.
NEW YORK, May GA special to the
World from Havana says:
Agitators of the revolution are said to
be working hard in the Cemagueyian
regions. Spain's best disciplined soldiers
are being sent to that section, as an
uprising there would be fatal to
Spanish rule. During the last war some
$1,000 men revolted in the district and a
large column once came very near Ha-
vana.
Marcus Garcia, the mayor of Sancti
Spiritu, has sent in his resignation and is
in Santa Glare. No little importance
is attached to this step. A native of Cuba
aud desperate and brave leader in the
first revolution. he is extremely popular
in the whole province of Puerto Prin-
cipe, where he has lived all his life.
The whole district OF Camaguey would
blindly follow him should he once more
desire it. He has been summoned to
Havana TO account to General Campos,
for his strange resignation.
