ENTERED A MINOR PLEA.
Elijah Shaw Got OF With Five Years
in the Penitentiary.


in the Penitentiary.
Elijah Shaw, colored, entered
plea of guilty of manslaughter to an
indictment charging him with muir
der on yesterday, and was sentenced
by the court to serve a term of five
years in the penitentiary.
AT a former term of the court Shaw
was tried for the murder of Matthew
Johnson, found guilty by the jury, but
given a recommendation that reduced
his punishment from death on the
gallows to Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary for life. Shaw shot and
killed Johnson with a pistol May &C.
1901.
A motion for a new trial of the case
was made by Mr.. r. L. Colding of
counsel for the defendant, which was
refused in the trial court. The Su-
preme Court, reviewing the evidence
in the case, declared there was none
to authorize conviction of the crime
of murder and expressed a pretty
strong opinion that manslaughter was
the grade of homicide of which the
defendant should have been found
guilty.
This opinion of the Supreme Court
was based. of course, upon the evil
dence adduced at the former trial,
but as at that trial practically all of
the material evidence bearing upon
the circumstances of the case had
been presented to the jury the solicitor
general determined it would not be
wise or necessary to put the county to
the expense of a second trial.
Judge Barrow agreed with this con-
c1uSiOn and was willing therefore IN
accept a plea Of guilty of manslaugh-
ter. The plea was entered and the
sentence of the court imposed. Shaw,
very much relieved at the turn affairs
in his case had taken, was carried
back to the county Jail He will spend
the next five years at hard labor at
one of the state camps.

Man Who Asks no Help From His
Troubles.
The judge on the bench is not alone
in having decisions to make at times.
Matters come up daily for every one
to decide, and there is no getting
around them. Some days ago man
wandered through the city market
with puzzled glare on his face. Some
thing was evidentxJ wrong, but the
source of trouble was known to him
alone. First to this side and then to
the other he went, brushing people
aside and trying to remove something
from his mind. Trouble was there from
responsibility. He had to decide what
the dinner should consist of. Thought
less of the relief and help Logan could
give him he failed to go right for some
time. Logan decides on the things for
dinners, and he assumes responsible
ity for what he does. Go there.-ad.
