called for the full measure of punish
ment prescribed by the statute, 10 years.
Judge Hall in imposing sentence
said: II think counsel for the defendant
have nothing to regret in the conduct
of his case. | have very rarely heard
a cause tried with more careful atten-
ton to all the circumstances that could
by any possibility tell in favor of a
client. The defendant has had the aid
OF able counsel who have tried his case
with every possible care and attention,
and even taken it to the law court on
favor of the State.
The jury has found this man guilty
of an assault with intent to murder,
and l must say, after carefully listen
ming to the evidence. that the verdict
of the jury corresponds with my judg
ment in the matter. If this man was
guilty "a all he was guilty of very
heinous offence. and | cannot see where
there is any possible mitigating cir
cumstanCes so far as they concerned
the act of pushing that old man from
the bridge in the night time.
If courts were to allow sympathy in
behalf of families to interfere with jus
tice il is very rarely the case that jus
tice would be done. SO far as the dis
grace of the defendant and his aged
father and monther is concerned, il is
not from the Imprisonment but from
the commission of the act. He has al
ready committed the act which is dis
grace to his aged father and mother
and they must now expect a punish
ment commensurate with the offence
committed. The only possible circum-
stance it seems to me proper to take
into consideration in this sentence is
the fact of this mans prior good record
so far as any evidence here is con-
cerned and the fact that he is Grip
pie. Giving those circumstances all
due weight in the passing Of sentence.
the clerk will now read what | think
is proper in this case"
A sentence Of seven years at hard
labor in the State prison was then i'm
posed.
