LEWIS YEAGERS SENTENCE
Goes to the Peniteptiay for Term Of
Twelve Years.
Was Convicted Of n GROSS Crime
Notice Given of an
Appeal.

Lewis ]. Yeager, the attorney, who was
recently convicted of assaulting Edith
Schneebel, a girl under sixteen years of
age, was this afternoon sentenced by JUS
tice Clabaugh to Imprisonment at hard la
Dor in the West Virginia penitentiary for
the term of twelve years.
The crime was committed the LIST of last
March, and it will be recalled that Yeager,
after being arrested, was placed in a room
at the sixth precinct station, from which
he escaped through a transom over the
door. He was apprehended a few days
later and was committed to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury. He was
promptly indicted, and at his trial before
Justice Clabaugh recently the jury returned
a. verdict of guilty after a few moments
elaboration.
His attorney filed a motion for new
trial and it was argued today. In over
ruling the motion Justice Clabaugh said
the man had enjoyed fair trial and had,
In the opinion Of the court, been properly
convicted. Assistant District Attorney
Gould asked that sentence be at once pro-
nOunced, and although Yeager and his at
torneys pleaded that sentence be delayed
until they could file a certificate of the jail
physician showing the physical condition OF
the prisoner the judge said he saw no rea-
son why he should not grant the govern
ment'S motion.
He told Yeager that the court was con-
WINGED of his guilt, and there was no rea-
son, in his opinion, why the extreme PEN
atty, fifteen years imprisonment, should
not be inflicted upon him. But not desir-
ing to be wholly without mercy, Justice
Clabaugh said he would make the sentence
one of twelve years. and thereupon SEN
fenced Yeager to twelve years imprfson-
ment In the West Virginia penitentiary at
hard labor, the sentence to take effect upon
his arrival there.
Yeager took his sentence calmly. and,
after his attorneys had filed notice Of an
appeal to the Court of Appeals, he was re-

Second, from the increased business it
would give our shipyards; and
Third, because it would furnish a reserve
