THIRTEEN YEARS IN PRISON
Sentence Imposed by Judge
Haire Upon BOggiO,
for Murder.

At the opening oflcircuit court at
Houghton Monday morning, SEN
tences were pronounced by Judge
Haire on the several prisoners con-
victed and those who pleaded guilty
at this term of circuit court. Domi-
nick Boggio was given thirteen
years for the murder of Ignacio
Graciano. Lewis Olson, robbery, got
eight years. John Brown and
Leander Backman, disorderly per-
sons, were given one year each.
Abram Ola, larceny from the per-
son, got five years. Each man, be-
fore being sentenced, was given
some good advice by the court, es-
peciIlly in the cases of Boggio,
Olson, Brown, and Backman. Boggio
was rightfully convicted, the court
thought, and this should be lesson
for others. Because two men are
quarreling, another man cannot
come along and shoot either of the
men he chooses. Olson 5 case was
characterized as equally bad, or
worse, than Boggios because of
having laid in wait for, and robbed,
with intent to do harm if necessary.
Ola was an old offender, and the
court said for that reason he would
give him the limit Brown and
Backman had pleaded guilty to be-
ing common drunks. The court did
not like the idea of sending men to
prison for this offense, but duty
compelled him to, and he made the
sentence light. The prisoners were
takcn to the branch prison at Mar
quette Tuesday - -Houghton Gazette.
