The Former Marshal of the St. Louis
Court of Appeals Sentenced.
FIVE YEARS AND A HEAVY FINE
He Was Convicted in the Federm
Court at st. Louis, with DOihh
nnd Garrett, of Natural
izntion Frauds.

st Louis. Dec. G.-Thomas +. Bar
rett, former marshal Of the St. LOUIS
court Of appeals, was sentenced IN the
United States district court, Saturday
morning, to five years in the penlten-
tiary, and fined $1,000. BY his attor-
ney, Judge Krum, he at once appealeu'
Barretts sentence was the same as

ed with him in the famous triple trlal'
His sentence removes all doubt as 10
the probability of his being tried on
other indictments found against MN
by the federal grand jury.
Barrett. Dolan and Garrett were con-
yicted on two counts "iding and abet-
ting" certain persons to have fraudu-
! lent citizen certificates in their pos
session. and aiding and abetting' those
persons to secure the papers.
Barrett, when sentence was passed,
was the same stole that he was all
through the trial The passing OF SEN
tence was dramatic only in that 1t was
totally lacking in dramatic incidents.
Barrett took his stand before the
Judges bench, and did not finch when
he heard the sentence Judge Adams
comments were to the point.
Barrett heard him out as calmly as
if the court were discussing the
weather prospects,
"What said at the time of the sem
tence of your two associates applies to
YOU. and there is no occasion to repeat
it. I will sentence YOU one one count
only but will give you the maximum
penalty
Barrett was then placed in the GUS
todv of the marshal. Later it was ar
ranged that the same bond $(20oOo)
which was furnished at the time OF
t Barretts conviction should be allowed
