Ten Years For
Smith and Lane
Judge Mcbride Imposes Maximum
Penalty on Representation
for New Trial Qverruled

Ten years Imprisonment in the state
penitentiary, the maximum penalty un-
der the statute for the crime of per-
jury. was imposed on Josiah S. Smith
and Charles r. Lane by Judge Mcbride
Yesterday afternoon. Attorneys w. J.
Donovan and George holland filed a
motion for '1ew trial and arrest OF
judgment in behalf of Smith, which
were overruled. The court allowed
them 30 days in which to prepare and
present a bill of exceptions.
In passing sentence Judge Mcbride
characterized the offense Of the defend
ants as the highest degree of perjury
and said that he could not find a single
extenuating circumstance that sug-
gestAd any reason why he should not
impose the severest penalty permis-
sible under the law
Attorney w. ]. Donovan made an elo-
1uent plea to the court on behalf of
Smith He reviewed the previous good
character borne by his client for a
period of so years in Contra Costa
county, Cal, and said that the superior
judge and sheriff of that county had ex-
pressed willingness to subscribe their
names TO dispositions testifylng to his
good reputation in the community. He
told of misfortunes that Smith had
borne during the past few years, which
included that loss Of his farm and inn
provements through some technical
flaw in the Land laws OF the United

States. This farm represented the toll
of 30 years, at the end of which he
was dragged into an endless chain OF
litigation involving the title Of the place
and which was not settled until the
highest court in the United States had
passed upon it. Then his wife became
sick. and Is today suffering from the
effects of fatal disease. Mr.. Donovan
pleaded for a lighter sentence than
was imposed on Lane.
The court stated that he could not
differentiate between the two crimes.
Smith, he pointed out, was not an ig-
norant man. He knew the law and un-
derstood the seriousness OF his crime.
Despite this, however, he came to AS
toria to fabricate the case for the pur-
pose Of obtaining money by such
fabrication, and he did the same thing
in other cities. Continuing, the court
said: 49,
My mind instinctively goes back to
the transaction with Mrs. Hinton, in
which these men forced her to give
them note for $500. This was poor
woman, vet Book told her story, as
crocodile tears ran down his face, Of
having received painful injuries by fall
ling on the sidewalk in front of her
property. There is nothing in the case
that appeals to my sympathies for the
men, and must impose sentence Of
10 years in the penitentiary on Josiah
S. Smith,
The motion for new trial was based
on the following grounds
/. Insuffieiency of the evidence to
justify the verdict, and the said ver-
dict is against the law.
