The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-04-25

Saturdays sentences in crimlnal
court were comparatively light, nine
months being the largest term meted
out. This Imprisonment was prescrlp-
ed by Judge Edwards in the case OF
John Barrett who, with John Kelly,
plead guilty Of burglarzing South
Washington avenue clothing store.
Kelly was given six months.
The next biggest sentence was i'm
posed upon Alfonzo Grandanett OF
Winton. who stabbed Frank Guyden
twice in the head during a drunken
quarrel. The jury, taking into consid-
Grafton the mitigating circumstance
that it was a give and take fight, con-
viCted Grandanctti of simple assault
and battery. Judge Swartz half inti-
mated in imposing the sentence of eight
months that the size of the knife Gran
danett carried was responsible for the
size of the sentence.
John Tupot. of Mayfield, who turned
on Peter Cunningham with a knife
when the latter assaulted him, was let
off with fine of $2j and costs.
THREE MONTHS FOR CONWAY.
P.J. Conway, of Old Forge, who was
returned guilty Saturday morning of
the charge of perjury preferred by
Peter Dougher was sentenced to three
months in the county Jail, but after
his attorney, NJ. J. Donahoe, made APP
plication for new trial and pointed
out what he believed were good
grounds upon which to base such
petition. Judge Swartz decided to cut
the sentence down to 45 days and when
he had done this the petition for
new trial was withdrawn.

tences Judge Edwards imposed the fol-
lowing:
