FIVE YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY.
This Was the Sentence Of John 7. Michael
for Forgery.

John T. Michael, of Uuiontown, was ar
raigned for forgery in the Circuit Court when
the sessions were resumed on Tuesday morn
ing and by advice ofhis counsel plead guilty.
A moment later he was asked by the Court if
he had anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him, and replying in the
negative Judge Bond sentenced him to the
Penitentiary for five years, the shortest term
the law imposes
In view of the plea of guilty States Attorney
Reifsnider entered stet in the other case of
forgery against the prisoner. Michael was in
dcted for forging the name of Henry Benner
to a note drawn in favor of Geo. II. Birnie Il
Co., bankers at Taneytown, on June y, 1898,
for 500, and forging the names of Henry
Trouttelter, }. Henry Benner and Mrs. Benner
to a note drawn in favor of VIM. B. Thomas,
n banker of Westminster on June s, 1898,
for 1922. 80. 1t was in this last case he plead
guilty.
Michael was under 5000 bail for his appear
ance at Court, but when he was wanted on
Tuesday of last week he was non est. The
bail was declared forfeited.
Michael went to Norfolk, Va, leaving
Westminster the day before his trial was to
come up. Sheriff Haines at once began
search for him, aud put the officers of Balti
more on the lookout. Round Sergeant Hood,
of the Western district, arrested Michael on
Saturday evening, and Sheriff Haines went
down and brought him to Jail here on Sunday
night.
In view of the facts that Michael was cap
tured, confessed his crime and received his
sentence. his boudSnen we're released upon
paying the cost OF his arrest.
