At Paterson, N. J., Judge Dixon inn
posed sentences aggregating los years

administration OF choral Walter Z.
McAllister, William a. Death and Al
drew ]. Campbell, convicted Of murder
in the second degree, were each given
80 years, and George J. Kerr, who
pleaded non vult contendre to charge
OF assault, was given IS years. The
sentences were the maximum.
The terms OF service Of the prisoners
may be very materially reduced by good
behavior. 1t is possible for McAllister,
Campbell and Death to reduce their
sentences to 20 years each, and for Kerr
10 reduce his I5-year sentence to n
years.
Judge Dixon, addressing the three
prisoners, said: You stand convicted
OF murder in the second degree. Had
you been found guilty OF murder in the
first degree the punishment would have
been death. but the leniency OF the jury
in the exercise OF their lawful authority
saved you from the gallows. We must
administer laws as they are. IL is true
these sentences will destroy your lives,
obliterating every prospect OF an hon
orabe existence among the people. The
court cannot make any distinction, but
must sentence you for this crime.
II trust the fearful consequences from
this crime will help young men and
women OF this community and point ont
10 them that they cannot hope TO secure
happiness outside OF virtue and honor.
The sentence OF the court is that each
