thing to say why se'1 auce should not be
imposed made pitiful plea for mercy
on the ground that he had faithfully
served his country in the hour of danger
Boston, who is about sixty years old, be-
seeched the judge TO consider his age and
be lenient.
The crime for which Boston was con-
victed was that of defrauding the United
States Government out of about g, 900 by
means of forged pension vouchers. The
fraud extended over a period of nearly
five years. and was finally discovered by
the merest accident Boston had been

amounting to s5l quarter. regularly
from June, 1885, until detected in March

Boston was indicted by the grand jury
and put on trial in Criminal Court No. l,
before a jury, Chief Justice Bingham pre-
siding in October. The trial lasted
week and resulted In a mistrial. The sec
ond trial began November q and extend
ed through ten days. 1t ended in his con-
yiction upon twelve of the sixteen counts
in the Indictment.
His attorney, Howell Titus, gave notice
of motion for new trial and arrest of
judgment and argument was heard on
these motions yesterday. The motions
were overruled by Chief Justice Bingham
and Mt. Titus then asked the Court to fix
bail for the prisoner pending an appeal
to the Court of Appeals for the District.
Chief Justice Bingham declined to do this
and Boston was remanded to jail. The
Government was represented by Assist
ant District Attorneys Joseph Shillington
and John L. Laskey.
