atty Upon Him.

Frederick Vansant Friday afternoon in
New Castle County Court pleaded guilty
to perjuring himself in behalf of John
Lynn at the November term of court q
year ago. He was sentenced to stand
one hour in the pillory on October 18th,
and to pay fine of $1,000. This is the
extreme penalty. He will be imprisoned

will serve about three months in default

prisoners box. His frame trembled, and
he elevated his head but few inches.
He was utterly detected.

are you guilty in manner and form as
you stand indicted. or not guitly?"
Guilty" came quietly from the figure
in the box. Then he burst into tears
and covered his face with handkerchief.

oner, said the first time as counsel he ex-
amined Vansant, he told the complete
story. II don't want to trouble the
State, want to go to the attorney general
and tell him." Mr.. Hayes quoted Van
SAINT to saying, and he added that Yansant
went to Mr.. Ward. Attorney. General
Ward said that Vansant, without any
inducement being offered, told him the
story he related from the witness stand
in the Fahey trial. $50 far as 1 know,
he told me it as an act of repentance"

This ID one Of the salient points
Of Americanism. The public will
permit irregularities to proceed
