prisonment
WAS A SURPRISE TO THE PRISONER
Scene Before Penalty Was Imposed
Will Be Long Remembered BY Those
Present-Happy Ending Of Case
Which Caused Many Tears.

Possibly never before was there so
much sympathy shown toward a pris-
oner under trial in the United States
Court than in the case of Mrs. Margaret
Wyatt, of Harrington, who yesterday
afternoon was found guilty Of violating
the postal laws.
The case went to the jury at IL
o'clock in the morning and at O'Clock
the jurors asked to have Judge Brad
ford's charge read to Them Shortly af-
terward it was announced that a YER
dict had been reached, and when the
jury filed into the room, their grave
faces struck terror TO the heart Of the
little daughter of the prisoner Both
mother and child cried piteously, and
there was not dry eye in the room.
When The words, I'VE find the pris-
oner guilty. but recommend her to the
mercy of the court" were spoken by
the foreman of the jury the prisoner
reeled as if struck, and both mother
and daughter began to weep hysteri-
cally.
Judge Bradford ordered the mother
and child removed to the marshal's Of
fee, and then a conference was held
between the court, District Attorney
Byrne and j. Frank Ball, the attorney
for Mrs Wyatt. A concluson was reach
ed and the prisoner was again brought
back to the court room, still crying
and with her little girl hanging TO her
gown.
The penalty for the crime the de-
fendant was foEnd guilty Of is a fine
rot exceeding $1,000. or five years i'm
priEonment at hard labor, or both, in
the discretion Of the court, and, conse-
quently, the prisoner and the spectators
present were unprepared for the sen.
tence which WAS imposed.
Judge Bradford. after briefly review
Jig the seriousness of the charge, said
''While the court win heed the recon-
lmendation of mercy made by the jury
IL feels that an example should b'
made of this case. The courts SEN
tence is that you be confined at hare
labor for period of ten days.
For a moment the prisoner hardly
realized her good fortune at coming OF
so easy. and it was plain to be see'
that had the dignity Of the court Per
mitted the crowd present would have
vigorously applauded. The jurors wer'
delighted at the outcome, and every
body was more than pleased.

ing generosity with prudence The
need had passed. AS he spoke of money
matters l became slowly aware that
my personal expenses We're to be any
thing that | might choose to make
them; that the trust fund was no lon
ger precious for it's yield, but because
my mother had given it TO me.
When we were lodged in a hotel
with luxury that appealed to me es
pecially after a prison hospital in the
Transvaal and the staterooms of third
rate steamers, he told me definitely
what provision he had planned to make
for me, and sat silent, hanging on to
the arms of my chair as If they had
been the handles by which | gripped
the reality of all this, that it might not
fly away into dreamland. There was
nothing that l might not have inferred
from his latters, and yet the spoken
words were worth an ocean Of ink,
backed, as ,py We're, by the spectacle
of my fathers renewed youth and alb
solute freedom from care.

pointing this man in the best hope of
his remaining years? was so far
from it as to be occupied principally
with anxiety lest Sibyl should not care
for me. l took high resolutions to be
a good fellow and one that she would
find worthy. | ceased TO be distressed
by the thought of what she might lack
in looks and began modestly to consid
er my own deficiencies. The chances
were that she would find me rough in
my ways. | had gone little into soci-
ETY. while In Europe. My position had
been to break rocks in a laboratory
and South Africa had surely not i'm
proved me except in size. There was
at least third more of me than there
had been, but the quality was no bet
ter. | might brighten away some Of
my rivals, but one of them was cler
gyman and protected by the cloth.
We had a delightful day together
driving in the afternoon, and dining
with great good cheer in the park, with
the scented trees for walls and the mild
stars of June lighting the infinite alti
tude of the roof. As luck would have
it, some fellows | had known in col
lege were dining there, and they joined
US. My father was the best fellow at
the table, the life Of the party, giving
fire. high spirit TO all the talk. and I
was proud of him.
Near midnight, after had put
him aboard his train. | walked back
TO the hotel In excellent humor. and
