A LONG SENTENCE.
Bicycle Thief Tells a Weak Story
In Court Today.
Judge Wilbur Criticiscs Daniel Gcary's
Testimony Severely.

Daniel. Geary, who last Thursday plead
ed not guilty to an Indictment charging
him with stealing bicycle from Corp
Brothers today still claimed he was inno-
cent of the charge, aod his trial was the
irst OF the day in Judge Wilbur's court
room.
John I. Corp, one OF the bicycle firm
above named, testified that he loaned a
bicycle to Geary on August %. for two
hours, and received 90 cents therefor. The
original cost of the bicycle was $40. but
improvements thereon, according to the
witness, raised its value to $50.
Detective Nickerson testified that he
arrested Geary on September 10, nd when
the latter was questioned he said he had
rode the wheel to Newport ana then to
jamestown. At the latter place. Geary
claimed he worked for a man two days,
and then went back to Newport, where
he sold the wheel to a man named Hogan
on Thames street for $40, and that with
the money received from Hogan he went
to New York, and after some days sight
seeing came back to this city. Detective
Parker corroborated Mr.. Nickerson's tes.
timony. Geary, it was shown, first plead
ed not guilty in the Sixth District Court,
but then retracted and pleaded guilty.
Daniel Geary, the prisoner. was the
only witness in his own behalf. He
claimed he hired the bicycle for few
hours longer than Mr.. Corp said he had
engaged IT for, but did not deny the
story he had previously told the derec-
tives. Geary said he was only 10 years
OF age and that he intended to get the
bicycle from the man he sold It to when
he got his pay from the man at James
TOW b, had worked for for two days by
paving the purchaser his go back.
Attorney T.. j. France srgaed to the
jury that the proper thing for Corp
Brothers to have cone was to bring an
action OF trover and conversion and that
the prisoner should pot be punished az
criminal for merely having rode the
wheel farther than the owners expected
that he was going to ride, and the alleged
sale was but loan to the man in New
port.
AttorneyGeneral Dubois made brief
argument showing clearly the difference
between trover and conversion and a
criminal action and argued that the
story of the prisoner and his actions
proved him guilty of the theft charged.
The jury after brief consideration of
the testimony brought In a verdict Of
guilty. Judge Wilbur sentenced the
prisoner to Is months In States prison
and criticised the prisoners testimony.
