Chris Davis sentencs

In writing to the LEDGER from Ed
wardsville, ILL.,, in reference to the
sentence of Chris Davis on a charge Of
shooting an Alton policeman this fall,
the sheriff of Madison county says:
"The sentence of Christopher Davis
is an indeterminate one. Upon good
behavior he can apply for a parole af-
ter one or two years. The old man
has an easy jOb in the penitentiary and
being an old soldier, l think, will
help him good deal to shorten his
time. l called on him few days age
and he said that he was getting along
nicely"

O'HARE FINED
Man in Whose Saloon Flynn
Was Killed Pleads Guilty
to Keeping a Dis
orderly House.

William O'Hare, the New Durham sa-
loonkeeper, who pleaded guilty to an in
dictment charging him with conducting
disorderly house in permitting gambling
in his saloon on December last, was this
morning sentenced by Judge Blair in the
Court of General Sessions to pay fine
of $50 and costs.
The case against O'Hare grew out of
the inquiry into the death of Edward J.
Flynn in the formers place on the day
named. O'Hare was charged with man
slaughter, but because of lack of evidence
the Grand Jury refused to return a true
bill against him.
From the stories told it appeared that
when Rev Father Rodger McGinley. who
had been summoned, arrived AT O'Hare's
place. Flynn was lying dead in an adj
joining room and gambling was going on
in the saloon. On this the indictment
against O'Hare was based.
Relatives of Flynn have also begun
civil action against OHare, charging him
with having caused his death by throw
ing him out of the saloon and fracturing
his skull. The object of the suit is to
bring out the evidence in the case in the
hope of inducing the Grand Jury to re-
turn a verdict of manslaughter against
OHare.
