HEAVY SENTENCE
II is Believed Judge Byinston Will Give
Mrs. Gallagher Long Term in the
Penitentiary.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, March 10.-A heavy sem
tence for Mrs. Sarah Ellen gallagher
is expected next Saturday morning
when she will be arraigned for the
pronouncement of sentence for the
crime Of perjury, of which she has
been found guilty in her trial just
closed. The law permits Judge Bying-
ton to fix any term between ten years
and life. From the liberal nature of
Judge Byingtons rulings when the
state was concerned and his strictness
with regard to the defendants objec-
tons to evidence, a view corresponding
to that of the majority Of people in
Johnson county with regard to Mrs.
Gallaugher is presumed, that is her
guilty connection with the murder Of
her husband.
The verdict was great surprise to
Johnson county, people refusing to be-
lieve until the verdict was brought in
that jury could be induced to con-
Wet her, no matter how guilty she
was believed to be. The opinion of
guilty conceived in the public mind
despite Mrs. Gallaugher's two acquit-
tails of the charge of murder is not
based on evidence which could be
dragged before court of justice, owing
to obstructing rules of evidence. An
estrangement between Mrs. Gallagher
and her husbands relatives, existing
before his death. is responsible for
the continued prosecution of the case
and for the opinion which which neigh
bors have formed Of the case, in large
measure.
That Mrs. gallagher will ever do
time in the state penitentiary for the
crime of perjury, in accordance with
the findings Of the second jury which
tried her, is doubted by many people.
Those who followed Attorney Holbert's
many points of evidence and saw the
with which he loaded up the record of
the case expect reversal by the supreme
court, In case Judge Byington does not
grant a new trial. 1t is even within the
power OF the supreme court to set
Mrs Gallaugher free without new
trial, this being possible by decision
to the effect that the special finding
of guilty on the question Of perjury as
to her seduction by Charles Holada,
does not support the general finding
of guilty. when taken into consideration
with the verdicts Of not guilty Of par
ticipation in the murder Of her hus-
band.
Charles Holada went back to the
penitentiary this morning. He nearly
broke down when leaving, as the eff
feet Of the verdict in failing to give
any basis for an application for his
pardon has been explained to him.

CAsHED BIG DRAFT
A Tangible clew to the Mail Robbery
at Cedar Rapids Recently-Draft on
: GoIdfield Bank cashed.

Goldfield. March 1O.-Cashier Nc
E,,hinnev of the local bank has fur
nished the United States government
officials one good tangible clue to the
robbery of the two mail pouches at
Cedar Rapids, on the night Of Febru-
ary %. He has been able to demon
strate that the robbers secured at least
$4,000 as q result Of that piece of
work.
Among the letters in the stolen
pouches was one from Waterloo, to
this city containing a draft payable to
Cashier mckinney. This draft, 1T
has now been learned was cashed at
the Continental and National bank, at
Chicago. That bank returned the
draft to Waterloo and it was from that
city forwarded to Goldfeld for pay
ment. but Cashier MCKINNEY discov-
cred Immediately that his signature had
been forged. The man who cashed 1t
in the Chicago bank signed the name
of Taylor 1t was cashed In the Chi
cago bank last Wednesday, March 4.
1t is not quite clear here how let
ter from Waterloo to Goldfield came to
be in Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids, March 10.-The above
special from Goldfield puts some
what different light on the recent rob-
berry. 1t seems to be clear now that the
robbery was not a mere chance crime
by tramps or amateurs, but that 1t had
been deliberately planned and probable
arrangements made Of the disposing
Of the valuable drafts. Some one con-
cerned in the cashing OF that big draft
must have been known to the officials
Of the Continental and National bank
at Chicago How many hands the rob-
bers passed it thru before it reached
the hands of their accomplice or semi
accomplice in Chicago is not known
at present.
1t is easy to explain how the letter
from Waterloo to Goldfield came to be
in Cedar Rapids. The two pouches that
were stolen were for points on the
Sioux Falls line of the Rock Island from
Vinton to Sioux Falls. One pouch had
come from the north and one from the
east. The letter was mailed at Water
loo, brought here by train number 4, the
Chicago and Kansas City passenger
and would have gone up to. Goldfield
on the midnight train If the pouches
had not been stolen.
