United States Court yesterday upon Harry

tered pleas of guilty and they were each
sentenced by the court to serve four years
in the state prison al Nashville Tenn,
and 10 pay a fine of 81 600
Belmont and Nelson confessed their
guilt frankly, but both of them had said
that John Perry, the one-legged individual
who was accused of being their accom-
plioe, was absolutely innocent. As they
both said they would swear that Perry
was guiltess Of any completely in their
offense, a nolle prosequi was entered on
the indictment that had been found
against him and by virtues of this pro-
ceeding and the order of Judge Speer he
was given his liberty.
When asked by the court IL they had
anything to say why sentence should not
be passed upon them, the men showed no
strong inclination to make speeches.
Belmont said that he was from England
and that he had an Old mother in Liver
pool whose heart would break if she
knew of the Offense of which he had been
guilty. He is so far away from home
that he felt himself justified in asking
for the clemency and leniency of the
court. He added that the offense for
which he had been indicted was his first.
Nelson said that he was also long way
