MORRISON'S PLEA FOR MERCY.
Convicted Burglar Insisted That He
Was Innocent

William Morrison was sentenced by
Judge Norrell yesterday to three years
Imprisonment in the state penitentiary
for completely in the burglariZing of
the Barnes Hardy & Co.'S store last
December.
Before sentence was pronounced. Nor
rison stated TO the court that despite
the verdict of the jury he was inno-
cent of the crime with which he was
charged. II do not believe the jury
was entirely satisfied of my guilt he
said. Il believe there was some doubt
in their minds about it. And it is isn't
right at all; it's all wrong to send a
young man to the penitentiary when he
is innocent, as L am think the court
ought to be lenient with me, and give
me a light sentence"
Judge Norrell, in the statutory Ian
guage, sentenced Morrison to three
years Imprisonment. When he had
concluded, Morrison looked up.
I'm much obliged" he said, but
whether he spoke sarcastically or in
earnest it was hard to say.
He was taken to the penitentiary J es-
terday afternoon to begin his term.
