A JAIL SENTENCE NOT ENOUGH.

Judge Miller Favors More Severe
Punishment for Wife-Beaters.
Il quite agree with Judge Kimball when
he says that the law should provide a more
severe form of punishment for wife-beaters
than Imprisonment in JAIL" said Judge
Miller, in the Police Court this afternoon
as he sentenced salvina Favre, an old
nan. a native Of Switzerland, to ten
months in Jail.
Favre's wife. colored woman, was in
court. with her entire head. except one
eye. swathed In bandages. She claimed
that Favre struck her few days ago with
a pitcher and permanently disfigured her.
Several weeks ago Favre was in court on
a similar charge. and his personal bonds
were tsken.
Judge Miller today expressed himself
very emphattcally on the subject of wife
beating. He recited among other things
that no doubt hundreds Of women are
daily submitting quietly to the cruel treat
n ent Of brutal husbands because they de-
pend on the latter for support, and IL they
should be sent to jail the wives would
starve.
IF the penalty for wife-beating should
be set down on the statute books as a
penitentiary offense." continued Judge Mil

Upon the negroes arrival here he was TAX

subjected to q close and searching cross
examination. he denied having committed
the murder. although hs admitted his name.
He was locked up In the sixth precinct sta
ton for the night, and the next day the
omcers again placed him under a severe
cross examination, Gradually he began to
make eliminating admissions. and before
the day was over he had virtually confessed
hds complete guilt, admitting 1t, amongst
others to Star reporter. The following
day he completed the details of his con-
fession, admitting that he had killed the
girl. after Insuccessfully attempting to as
sault her, to prevent her from informing
on him.
Indicted, Tried and Convicted.
The following Monday he was indicted.

arraigned before Judge Cole the same ef-
ternoon. he pleaded guilty. The Judge, up
on the suggestion of District Attorney Bir-
ney, refused to allow the plea to stand.
directing that plea Of not guilty be en-
tered. That was done, and Mr. Birney
asked that the case bs set down for trial
the following Monday and Judge Cole so
ordered. MeSsrs. Arthur Peter and r.
Newton Donaldson. two young members of
the bar, were assigned to defend Ford. and
they unsuccessfully endeavored to have the
trial postponed. Two days were spent in
an attempt to obtain a jury. and on We'd
nesday. the 10th of May, the introduction of
testimony was commenced. No testimony
was offered on behalf of the prisoner, and
the case was submitted to the jury Thurs
day afternoon, neither side desiring to ad-
dress the jury. verdict of guilty was rem
dered as soon as the jury reached their
room and after a motion for new trial
had been noted, the murderer was remand
ed to Jail by Judge Cole to await sentence.
The motion for new trial was, however,
rot pressed, for just a week later the mans
counsel came into court and announced to
Judge Cole that, after carefully considering
the matter, they had reached the conclu-
sion that nothing could be gained, even If
a new trial should be granted, for they
could anticipate no other conclusion of
second trial. Judge Cole agreed with Them
and. after thanking them for the able and
conscientious manner in which they had
conducted the mans defense, he sentenced
Ford to be hanged today between the hours
of 10 m. and pm. The judge announced.
however, that he had intended to delay the
execution but two weeks. but he fixed to-
day as the time when Fords counsel ex-
planned that he desired at least that much
time in which to prepare for death.
