GLEN HAVIS CASE
 WILL BE APPEALED Judge Greene Sentences Pris- oner to State Penitentiary SUSPENDED SIXTY DAYS Court Explains That Havls Could Have
 
SUSPENDED SIXTY DAYS
Court Explains That Havls Could Have His Sentence Shortened to Seven Years and Eleven Months
 By Good Behavior.

Glen Havis was sentenced yesterday morning by Judge Samuel E. Greene to serve twelve years and six months in the penitentiary. but the sentence was sus- pended for sixty days pending an appeal to the Supreme court, notice of which had been previously given.
 Havis was found guilty of murder in the second degree last week and the jury fixed the time of his punishment at twelve and one-half years. The case will now go to the Supreme court and the attor- neys for the defense will have until Sep tember 5 to file their bill of exceptions. Judge Greene explained to the prisoner yesterday that although the case was going to be appealed he could have short ened the time of his sentence to seven years and eleven months by good be- havior.
 There were very few persons in the court room at the time of the passing of the sentence It took place in the room of the first division of the City court as the Criminal court room was occupied by the teachers who are being examined this week. The attorneys present were
  T. Shugart and A. Leo Oberdorfer for the defense and Solicitor Charles W. Fer guson for the state.
 Havis was brought Into the court house shortly before Il o'clock by Baillff Snow and Judge Greene advanced to the bench just as the court house clock was strilx- ing the hour. When Havis was asked if he had any reason to assign why the present sentence should not be passed he answered "No."
 Immediately after entering the court room Havis was taken into the jury room for a short conference with his attorneys. As the prisoner walked back to the coun- ty jail there was nothing in his appear ance that would lead one to believe that he had just been sentenced to serve twelve and one-half years in the peniten- tiary
 Judge Greene signed the minutes of the Criminal court yesterday afternoon and the court was adjourned until the first Monday in September.

PENSION BOARD MEETS.
Confederate Soldiers Can Apply for the
 Next Ten Days.

The board of pension examiners of Jef- ferson county of which pension examiner Charles K. Dickey is the head is in ses- sion at the Circuit room of the court house. They will remain in session for ten days to consider applications for pen sions
 MT. Dickey stated yesterday that it was only necessary for those confederate sol- dlers to apply who had never been before the board. This of course does not apply to those who have previously applied and been rejected. He said that some old soldiers who were drawing pensions had the impression that they must come in every year and make new applications for the year to come.
 In case man dies 1t is only necessary for his widow to show that the soldier was her husand in order to draw his pen- slon She does not have to go through the whole process of a new application.
