DOUGLASS SENT UP FOR LIFE
JUDGE RoLAPP SAW NO EXCUSE
FOR CLEMENCY.
Declared the Prisoner Could Never
Secure a Pardon-Douglass Was
Pleased and Immediately Became
Sane.

John D. Douglass was sentenced yes
terday morning to Imprisonment for
life in the Utah state prison by Judge
Rolapp, for the murder of his WIFE,
committed in Huntsville on the 18th
Of last February.
Douglass received the sentence kind
ly, and, in fact, seemed to be much
pleased that ne was not sentenced to
be hanged. The defendants attorneys,
his father and a number of other spec.
tators were present, and the county at
torney moved for judgment. The judge
asked defendant if he had anything TO
say and received a negative reply.
Judge Rolapp then recited the fact
of the indictment and conviction, and
that the jury had recommended
that the punishment be imprisonment
for life at hard labor. The judge said
he saw no reason for this recommended
ton on the part of the jury, as, in his
judgment, it was not a case calling for
any clemency. However, he would not
disregard the request of the jury, and
therefore sentenced him to imprison-
ment for life at hard labor in the Utah
state prison. He further tol6 the de-
PENDANT that he should Danish from
his mind all thoughts and all hope of
ever receiving a pardon, fOr the reason
that the law requires in such cases a
request from the district court who
tried the case before a pardon is grant
ed, and this request could never be
granted.
After going back to his cell, Doug
lass had his hair cut and his long, mat
ted locks removed. A new suit of
clothes was put on, and the morose,
sullen appearance which was with him
throughout the trial was entirely cast
aside. In fact, he looked and acted like
a new man. If he had been insane, he
seemed to have recoV cred his reason.
During the hour preceding the SEN
tence, the prisoner declared that he
would request the judge, at the proper
time, to sentence him to death, but his
father and his attorney begged and rea-
soned him out of the notion, if, indeed,
the noti-l was anything more than a
boast. If the defendant had ever given
voice to such wish, in all probability,
Judge Rolapp would have granted the
request.
Douglass will be taken to Salt Lake
this morning by Sheriff Belnap. The
crime for which he is to pay the pen
atty was the shooting of his wife. in
Huntsville, on the 18th of February.
They had been living apart for some
time, and his wife had begun to sue
him for a divorce.

Hon. David Eccles went north last
night to look after his interests in that
section. Mr.. Eccles took from Ogden

Word was received yesterday from
Frank NJ. Cook, son of the Union Pa
cific freight clerk. Cook, with a COM
panion, enlisted at Fort Douglas in the

entS.
The Clay Clement company played
Baron Hohenstauffen'' to a good
sized house at the Grand last night
with a success as marked as the COM
pany achieved in Salt Lake. There
were one or two curtain calls, and the
audience endeavored to elicit speech
from Clement. but he refused to re-
spand. A disagreement which he had
with the opera house management,
when the management refused to take
certain fixtures off the curtain in order
to allow him to come out before the au-
dience from an unusual egress, was
partly responsible for his refusal.
Furthermore. the Short Line train was
being held for the company, which
went north at IL O'Clock, going to San
Francisco by way of Portland, thus
saving about $500 which the Southern
Pacific would have imposed for excess
baggage.
