TWELVE YEARS FOR YEAGER
A Motion for n New Trial OverruIed

by Justice CIaBaugh.
Lewis J. Yeager, who. a few days ago
was convicted in Criminal Court No. /, OF
was convicted in Criminal Court No.
1, of violation of the age of con-
sent law. was yesterday sentenced by
Justice CIabaugh to twelve years in
the peniteutiary at Moundsville, w.
Va. Justice Clabaugh in imposing sent
euce stated that he was thoroughly con-
yinced of the guilt Of the defendant, and
the justice of the verdict which pronounced
him guilty.
When the jury which tried Yeager re-
turned verdict of guilty his attorneys.
5. d. Truitt and L. Edward Mitchell fled
a motion for a new trial. The hearing on
this motion came up before Justice Cla-
baugh yesterday and occupied the atten-
tion of the court during the greater part
of the day. The motion was opposed by
Assistant District Attorneys Ashley NJ.
Gould and Thomas c. Taylor and was over
ruled by the court.
AS soon as the decision of the court
was announced Mr.. Truitt appealed to Jus
tice Clabaugh TO delay passing sentence be-
cause of the condition of the defendant,
whom he claimed was a physical wreck.
In substantiatiOn of this the attorney stated
that he would produce a physicians GER
tifcate. While his attorney was present
ing this appeal to the court the prisoner
interrupted and intimated that should the
court proceed TO impose sentence without
waiting to hear the evidence of a physi-
clan upon this question he might do a great
injustice. He stated that he had been af-
fected with nervous debility for over ten
years and long term in prison might prac-
tically be death sentence.
Assistant District Attorney Gould con
tended that no matter what the defendant S
physical condition was it could not in any
way affect the duty of the court This
ended the matter and sentence was inn
posed. The attorneys for Yeager gave
notice that an appeal would be taken to the

CRUISING FOR WHALES.
A New Bedford Captain Experiment.
ing in an Old Field.

n NCh S%AD1Aih
ing in an Old Field.
NEW LONDON, Conn, Oct. 27.-After a
lapse Of nearly sixteen years the whaling
industry of New London was revived on
June 2S last when the recently purchased
New Bedford brigantine Rosa Baker, Capt
James BuddiDgton, sailed out Of this har-
Dor on a cruise in northern waters. Today
the first letter giving any information Of
the vessels whereabouts was received from
Captain BuddingtOn. 1t was dated Sep
tember 4, written at Bravo, Cape De Verde
Islands, and says that during the whole
voyage the Bakers crew did not catch
whale Only half dozen days Of pleasant
weather were encountered while the whaler
was out and it was succession of gales
and fogs, both of which conditions put
whaling out of the question The captain
writes that he is well and makes no COM
plant in regard to either his ship or his
stores, and it is taken for granted that
everything in that line is satisfactory.
On the day following the one on which
the letter was written the captain was to
start for Cape Horn and spend the winter
months in cruising for whales in the South
Atlantic. He was by no means discouraged
by the failure in the north and wrote very
confidently about his expectations for the
trip south. The people in this neighbor-
hood who are interested financially in the
boat are confident that Captain Buddington
will bring back we'll loaded ship when
he returns Under ordinary conditions the
Baker viii spend the whole winter in the
South Atlantic and should reach this port
on the return trip about the first of next
April.
More than general interest attaches to
this voyage, as it is in the nature of an eX-
pertinent. 1t is many years since whaling
has been followed to any great extent by
New London ships, and the success of the
Rosa Baker means that new boat will be
built for Captain Buddington and several
other expeditions viii fit out to search for
whales. The high price brought by whale
bones viii make even a moderate catch a
