being the case, he would fix next Monday as
the day for sentence. Attorney Graeh of
Tamaqua, was called by Mr. AIarr and he
told the court that Mr.. Allen was suffering
intlammatory rheumatism and if reports
were true, he did not think Mr. Allen would
be able to reach court next Monday

fixing next Monday and if Mr.. Allen should
not be able to attend then sentence would be

that the meeting Of the Judges on Saturday
had no reference to these cases. Two other
important matters we're considered however
