Gus Bowers who had formerly plead
guilty to stealing wheat was called be-
fore Judge Jones and received his sen

Honor whether he had anything to say
before sentence was pronounced Bowers
stated that he hoped His Honor would
make the punishment as light as
possible as he had already served three
months in Jail, this was his first offense
and he did not intend to do the like
again. The judge in view Of these facts
and that the condemned did not look
like a hardened criminal, said he would
be lenient and fixed his punishment at
six months in the p%enitentiary at hard
labor. Even at that penalty Bowers felt
it a crushing blow. Sheriff Fox departed
