Jessie Danes, has been taken back to his
hoyel, where he must stay for three years,
according to the extraordinary ruling In his
case.
There is no law, it is admitted by those VINO
were at interest in the case for such punish-
ment Of the boy. Il was simply ''conces-
sion'' made by the father of the girl he
plotted to assassinate, when the boys father
and mother begged that he would not push
the case and send their son to reformetory
or lunatic asylum which would result In
stigma resting upon him all his life. The
"cmpromise" was reached out Of court. and
Judge S. w. Conklin of Petchogue, consented
to the remarkable sentence TO three year,
Punishment from home.
'I'll try to stand it, said the youth when
the Judge warned him never to come bach
home for three years sit seems purity lard
to leave pa and ma that long: but I'll do
whatever they agree to-
1t was the Sd of March that Leonard
was packed of to Canoe Place, fisher VIII
lage close by the waters at the bay at the
foot of the bleak, bare topped Shinneccek
bills beyond Good Ground, L. I. This viii
lage is thirty-five miles away from his home
in Blue Point, where his parents reared him
in comfortable and very attractive cottage
in the heart of the town. Young Robinson
went at first to the home OF S. c. Warner In
Canoe Place and gained permission to sleep
in the house and eat at the table with the
family. He agreed to work hard claiming
and fishing and shooting ducks 10 the bay In
| return for these favors.
The boy stood 1t for while. The Warmers
were kind to him, and did everything to make
his Punishment ms pleasant as 1t could be.
But it was natural for the youth to get home
sick after time, and he wrote 10 bis mother
asking If he could not leave there and meet
her att the home of his married sister In
Sayville. This would necessitate his passing
through Patchogue and Blue Point on the
train. He asked his mother to meet him nc
Patchogue and escort him through these
towns from which he had been exiled prom
Using that he would not get OF the train
while passing through.
The mothers love for her son was strong
enough 70 cause her to see no violation of
the agreement with Jessie Danes father in
this, so she met the boy at Patchcgue and
went with him to sayyille. passing through
Patchcgue and Blue Point. bat not leaving
the train
The lawyer sor Captain J. S. Danes heard
that the boy was at large again in the vicinity
and served notice upon James Robinson,
father Of Leonard. that if the lad was found
in that region OF Long Island he would be
held up and the law applied most vigorously.
Captain Danes. father Of the girl, mean
while had been mort uneasy. His daughter
has been kept in seclusion most OF the time
at Patchogue. Villagers in Blue Point have
been in mortal fear OF the assassination OF
the Danes girl. The case has awakened great
excitement throughout the eastern end sof
Long Island. and there has been much COM
plant at the Punishment proceedings.
Altogether the case has proved the most
extraordinary and The most puzzling propo-
sition ever brought up in the courts OF Long
Island 1t is not at all improbable that an
appeal will be made to Governor Odelf for q
more satisfactory adjustment OF the AFFAIR.
