Sarah Munyon's Troubles.
1t would seem that at last the portly,
fair Sallie Munyon, of Palatine, had
reached the end of her career in the
courts. She has long been a notorious
character, and little doubt is there that
she has been anything but an ornament
to society. She was tried in the Salem
courts for murder. but was acquitted. 1t
was not long after that before she was ar
rested for malpractice upon the woman
who has since married Howard B. Tyler.
There was hard fought trial, and g. most
skillful defense was given Miss Munyon
by ex-Jndge Westcott, of Camden, and
Hon. t. w. Trenchard, of this city.
Prosecutor Logue added to his laurels
with the presentation of the States case,
and the woman was convicted. Her
counsel took her case to the Supreme
Court on writ of error, and the Court
recently confirmed the conviction in this
county.
She was in Court Friday, having
been surrendered by her bondsman, and
she heard Judge Hoagland say these
words: "You were convicted in this
Court some time ago for serious offense
and sentenced. The Supreme Court sus-
tanned that conviction, and now you are
resentence6 to $1,000 fine and to stand
committed in State Prison for period of
five years at hard labor, and thence until
the costs of prosecution are paid"
1t was a trying ordeal for Miss Mum
yon, and while she did not collapse, she
was greatly affected, and was taken over
to the county Jail where she will remain
until Sheriff Cheesman takes her to serve
her long sentence.
If Miss Munyon should not be able to
furnish the money for the fine and costs,
her prison life would continue three
years or more beyond the five years. sem
