SENTENCES IMPOSED.
Those Who Break the Laws Must Pay
Heavy For Their Grimes.
Thursday Morning.

during the present long term, have been
convicted or who have pleaded guilty.
The Court room was filled with specta-
tors, while here and there sat one, with
an anxious look upon his face, indicat-
ing that there was some serious trouble
in anticipation. 1t could readily be seen
that these anxious persons were those
awaiting sentence, and who had been en-
joying liberty on bail.
Sheriff Shinn personally brought
Charles Filler from Jail, and this young
man sat alone in the prisoners dock, to
receive his sentence.
In administering the sentence upon
this young man, the Court said he had
been several times before the Court, and
repeatedly warned. There seemed to be
no reason why there should be any
leniency, and consequently sentence of
ten years, at hard labor in State Prison
was given, and thence until after all the
costs were paid.
In sentencing the liquor sellers, the
court gave evident intention of breaking
up the business. The sentences aptly
show this.
William Garlic and John Buck were
sentenced to one year each at hard
labor, in State Prison.
John Terrell was fined 500 and costs.
Carney Chamberlain, $50 fine.
Isaac Peters, $3.50 fine and costs.
Joseph Souders, $50 fine and costs.
Other sentences were as follows:
Philip Quick, assault and battery, fine
$25 and costs.
John Newlin, stealing, Reform School.
Thomas Bodine, breaking and enter
ing, State Prison 2 years.
Jere. Edwards, stealing coal, fine SIS.
Thomas Blizzard, receiving stolen
| money, county Jail, months.
Henry Desart, indecent assault and at
tempt to commit rape, State Prison, 5
years.
Tony Rennard, incest, State Prison, 1
year.
Ward Blizzard, larceny, State Prison, l
year.
Oscar Griner, larceny, Reform School.
John S. Mitchell, Esq, said that in the
case of VIM. Carle and John Buck, he had
taken out writs of error, and pending a
decision in those matters, he asked that
they be admitted to bail.
The Court fixed the bail in the case of
John Buck al $1,000.
In the case of Carle the Court was not
clear. He granted no exceptions and de-
| sired time to consider the presentation of
the writ of errors.
Then Mr.. Mitchell wanted to enter
bail for the appearance of Carle until
Monday. The Court did not feel sure
| that Carle should be liberated until it was
settled.
Finally the Court said he would admit
the defendants to bail if the Prosecutor
was satisfied. Mr.. Logue said he was
not.
In the Carle case Uriah Davis and John
e. Garrison were offered. Mr.. Davis was
satisfactory, but Mr.. Garrison would not
do.
Buck offered F. P. Riley and Robert A.
Harker, but the latter was not received.
Finally after some argument the court
continued the matter until Monday
morning at ten o'clock, and Buck and
Carle went to Jail.
James Springer came in at this time
and he was sentenced to pay fine of $25
and costs, for assault and battery.
Monday Morning.
This morning was the time set for a
hearing before Judge Hoagland, in the
cases of William A. Carle and John
Buck, the two men who were sentenced
by the court last week, to year each in
State Prison.
John S. Mitchell, Esq, represented the
two men.
Messrs Carle and Buck were, brought
in from the Jail.
Mr.. Mitchell then made application for
the release of John Buck on bail, and Of
fered Francis P. Riley and John S.
Mitchell as bailees.
In the case of William A. Carle he Of
fered Uriah Davis and John S. Mitchell
as bailees.
Prosecutor Logue took the bail bonds
and looked over them and said 81 guess
they're all right.
Mr.. Logue then read to the Court the

pearance when wanted. The same was
read in the case of Buck. And again the
men are out on bail.
Mr.. Mitchell applied to the court for
the appointment of a steneographer in the
cases of j. Christian Kienzle and Mar
garet Kelly to be tried on Wednesday of
