From Mondays Daily.

ETolu MONDAY S DAILY.
Fred Pfaum, Grub Sherrod, William
Roy and j. L. Brown were each SEN
fenced to terms in the penitentiary
this afternoon by Judge Fee. Judging
from the amount OF time Sherrod and
Roy received, Stafford would have
been sent up for about five or six
years had he been present.
Mr.. Pfaum, stand up!" said the
court. "The time has now arrived for
me to pass judgment upon you. Have
you anything to say why Judgment
should not be pronounced?" Phaum
said he had nothing whatever to say,
but his attorney, Capt. w. FL. G.
jacques. INTERVIEWED and told the court
that as Phaum had not been convicted
of any crime prior to this he should be
dealt with lightly. Burlington papers
say that the, defendant was tried in
Burlington on the charge of having
robbed man in that city some time
ago. This, perhaps, did not come to
the attention of the attorney nor of
the court. After reviewing his case to
some length the court sentenced
Phaum to two years in the penitenti-
airy at Ft. Madison.
William Roy, indicted on the charge
of robbery, was the next man to learn
that the penitentiary doors would close
after him for the term of three years.
His attorney, G. c. Ayers, made a
statement in his behalf which the
court gave due weight.
Grub Sherrod received three years
also, the court taking the view that he
was no more at fault than his confed-
crate, Roy after an appeal made by
3. w. Scott in defendants behalf.
j. L. Brown, indicted on the charge
of disposing of mortgaged property.
was brought into court for the pur-
pose of receiving his sentence but fol
some reason was remanded to Jail and
sentence was not passed.

This afternoon Judge rec sustained
the defendants motion for a contin-
uance in the case of the State of Iowa
VS.. Fred CRUDE. A commission of ply
sicians, composed of Drs. Brockman,
Wilkinson and Williams, made an ex-
animation of CRUDE this morning, by
order of the court. These gentlemen
this afternoon reported that they had
made the examination and found that
the defendant looks badly, his face
witches, he talks incoherently, his
pulse ranges from 80 to 100 and he is
in no condition either physically or
mentally to attend a trial in court IN
which he is the defendant. Without ar
9ument the court sustained the no
ton and continued the case until the
first week in May.
The jury empaneled to try j. w.
Brown, indicted on the charge of dis
posing of mortgaged property, brought
IN verdict of guilty yesterday after
noon and fixed the value of the prop
erty at SIS. The court will sentence
Brown next Monday.
Ella Ashby, colored. charged with
stealing watch from the person of
DIR. Davis, the corn doctor, was also
put on trial yesterday. After the in
PRODUCTION of the evidence of a few
witnesses the case was argued and Civ
en- to the jury. Shortly after they
came into courr with verdict of gull
ty and finding the value of the prop
erty taken to be $12. This makes it
petit larceny and in all likelihood Ella
will be given short term in the coun-
ty Jail. L. c. HendershotS defended
and says he offered to enter plea for
his client of guilty to petit larceny
two weeks ago.
