Two appeal cases set down for to-day
were allowed to 60 over by consent of the
lawyers of the othea. side
Prisoners pleaded as follows:
Edward Moore, abusing an infant, not
guilty.
Daniel Thompson, stealing jewelry
amounting to $3.50; guilty.
William Jones, larceny, two counts,
guilty.
Albert Meyers. stealing, guilty.
Six tramps, pleaded guilty to malicious
mischief.
! The case of Max Fournier, charged
with stealing about 800 in money from
John Frazier, was called. The young
man pleaded not guilty by advice of
counsel, to show extenuating circum-
stances, there not being any contention
that he did not steal the money.
The story has been several times told
in these columns. The money was taken
from Mr.. Frazier last June. 1t was taken
from the house, where it was hidden
under bedroom carpet.
Fournier Immediately left the town and
went to Chicago, where lie was employed
at salary of 1924 per week. He sent back
some money to his wife directing her to
pay the money to Mr.. Frazier. The
amount sent was $40. This money his
wife paid to Frazier.
Upon cross-examination, Fournier
said he took the money because he was
in business trouble and needed the
money, and considering it family mat
ter, took the purse. Fournier married
the granddaughter of Mr.. Frazier.
Mrs. Fournier testified that her hus-
band came back after six months alb
sence at her suggestion.
The case then rested, and the counsel
for the defendant and State put the mat
ter in the hands of the Court.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
There were quite number of persons
In the Court room when the hands of the
| clock got around to half past two, and
they were much interested in the pro-
ceedings.
The Court was in consultation in the
rear room for some time, but came in
shortly before three o'clock. In his
hands Judge Hoagland had batch of
| complaints and upon them were jotted
down the memorandum which made up
the sentences of the prisoners.
The four tramps, who have been in Jail
for more than month, were first called
up. They were James Kolton, John
Plummer, Joseph Kerins, and Charles
Stokely. They had pleaded guilty to
malicious mischief. Junge Hoagland
remarked that they had not committed
any serious depredations, and inasmuch
as they had been in Jail some time, he
sentenced them to forty-five days in Jail,
the time to commence from the date of
first commitment. That will allow them
their liberty. The quartette of weary
Willie's seemed pleased, and one of them
broke in with "God bless your honor,
may you live to good old age" The
Court did not appreciate the prayer and
shut the fellow up.
William Jones was the next victim.
