JOHNNY MARMADuKE.
This Young Man Is Convicted Of Petty
Larceny in Denver, Colorado.

Johnny Marmaduke, we'll known in
this city, has been convicted Of petty
larceny In Denver, Col, and received
a Jail sentence. The jury was out
twenty-four hours. Some Of the jury
men thought he should receive a
penitentiary sentence, while others
had doubts whether he was guilty at
all. He was charged with stealing
clothing at the Windsor Hotel in Dem
yer while he was located there getting
up a city directory. He claimed that
his roommate did the stealing, but
his roommate had disappeared, and
some Of the clothing being found In
bis room; the case, on its face, looked
very bad for him. His sister, Mrs.
Eskridge, has been In Denver for
some time doing what she could for
him.
Denver papers say that one Of the
jurymen expressed grave doubts as to
his guilt and will secure a position for
him as soon as he has served his jail
sentence.
Johnny Marmaduke formerly lived
in Mexico and is a young man Of good
address. His life during the last few
years has not been what it should
have been and his friends in this city
trust that his late experience will be a
lesson to him.
II he secures a position in Denver,
as promised, 1t is to be hoped that he
will give it his full attention and will
50 conduct himself in the future as
not to be a disgrace to the Marmaduke
family.
The Marmadukes are among Mis-
souri's most highly respected, honest,
conscientious, straightforward people,
and this is the first instance that we
know Of where any member Of the
family was accused of anything like
dishonesty.
