/ one of the spectators than like a per-
son who might be sentenced to q term
Of years in the State prison. The only
move he made was when, after being
prompted by the court officials. he
stood up to hear the charge of the
court.
Judge Hall addressed the prisoner
stating to him that he had iyed his
letter asking the clemency Of the court
and complaining that a fortune which
had been left to him by his father had
been lost to him through the fault of
others. The court feared the prisoner
had been his own worst enemy. and
thought that if he had conducted him
self properly he might not only be re-
spected in the community but have the
property left him by his father. Glenn
ency had been shown the prisoner in
December on the ground Of humanity
but there had been repetition Of the
offence in which there had been mar
row escape from commission of muir
der for which Horne would have re-
ceived life sentence. This was the
third offence Of assault Of which Horne
had been guilty and the court believed
it was dangerous to the public to have
him at large and it was its duty to i'm
pose "a penalty commensurate with the
guilt.
A sentence of five years in the State
prison was then read by the clerk.
Horne's face was still passive. and
he slowly left the court room in the
charge of the officers.
