in the meaning Of section 1G15. He ha'
never misappropriated money within the
meaning of that section. The money wa!
entrusted to Worth's care as treasurer
for the use and benefit of the institution,
to which it was appropriated and it wa:
not in his hands as State Treasurer, fol
the State no longer has anything to Dc
with it. Martin was Worths employe and
not the States. He was not an officer
in any sense of the word.
Attorney General Gilmer argued to ex-
actIy an opposite Interpretation of the
law. The institutions, he said, were State
agencies-the instruments through which
the State exercises her sovereignty. He
said the fact that the accounts were kept
for convenience by a treasurer ex-officio
did not take the money away from the
State.
Judge starbuck said this question was
only material as to the sentence; that if
the indictment was valid under section
1915, as contended by the State, then no
discretion was left the judge and the
sentence must be twenty years; that if
section 1915 did not apply but section
1916, as contended by the defendant, then
the sentence could not exceed ten years.
He added:
II will reserve my decision on this
point, and it will be indicated in the SEN
tence passed by the court later. A ver-
dict of guilty will be entered
The following witnesses were then
sworn and testified that up to the dis
covery of his defalcation Major Martin
had borne a good character in the com
omunity: VIM. Simpson, H. E. Litchford,
Joseph G. Brown T. P. Jerman, w. j.
Young, ]. j. Bernard, c. H. Belvin, B. P.
Williamson, A. M Powell.
Col Argo asked the judge, in deciding
the question of sentence, to consider the
fact that the defendant had held response
BILE positions for the last twenty-five or
thirty years, most of them requiring the
handling of large sums of money, and that
up to this time he had never failed to
faithfully account for every cent. He
added:
when this defalcation first began, so
the defendant tells us, he did not intend
to deprive anyone of the money He be-
gan with an honest intention that has
ended in disaster and ruin. His crime
did not originate in depravity, though it
ended in disaster, because of his inability
to replace the money. He took small
sums, expecting tc~return them. Some of
it we know he used in charity. number
of acts Of this kind can be called to mind.
He has eight children, some of them young
women, and nearly all of them depend
ent on him. He will this month be sixty
years old.
Judge Starbuck then inquired whether
the State could give any information in
regard to the amount of the embezzle-
ment Solicitor Jones said:
I'VE have had partial examination of
the books made by an expert and as far
as we have gone we know it must be
over $4,000. The examination is not yet
complete, but so far there are irregular
tiles in the penitentiary account amounts
ing to $14, ,563, but it is possible that these
may, on further investigation, be re-
duced.''
