Yesterday was dOomsday in the Mime
apolis criminal court and the fate of sew
eral prisoners which has been in the bal
ancc since their conviction was determin-
ed definitely, and they are no longer the
victims of suspense, although the punish
ment inflicted was very bitter.
The most notable case before the court
was that of Edward Leland, who was
convicted Of highway robbery and who
was sentenced by Judge Brooks to the
long stretch of ten years at hard labor in
the penitentiary. When arragned for
sentence the prisoners appearance was
in marked contrast to that of the average
criminal, as he was well groOmed and had
a pleasing and intelligent address. He
stated that his right name is Mott, and
that he had the advantage of a university
education, and had been a bookkeeper
The fact that he had been convicted be-
fore counted against him. as he had serv-
ed a term in the Nebraska penitentiary,
ana he was sentenced to ten years He
was convicted of holding up Gust Ander-
son and robbing him of $40, the robbery
having occurred on Stevens avenue in
broad daylight.

Contempt Of Court

Judge Brill yesterday directed Attorney
Hintermeister to draw up an order for
the committal to the county Jail Of Chas.
Pcssavant for contempt of court. The

ed that he collected some $500 above eX-
penses while acting in that capacity
which he neglected to turn over. Last
June the court removed Mr.. Passavant
and appointed John P. Kyle as assignee
in his stead. also ordering that the money
be paid over to the new assignee. This
order Passavant failed TO comply with,
tie result being that ne was called into
court to show cause why he should not
be punished for tontempt.
