FITzGERALD GOT -FOUR YEARS.
Frank H. Fitzgerald pleaded guilty to
two charges Of forgery in the Corpora
tion Court yesterday. and was given two
years in tho penitentiary in each case.
The other cases were nolle prosecuted.
Colonel B. O. James. his counsel, made
q plea for mercy. and Judge Clopton,
from the bench. said that the remorse
suffered by Fitzgerald during tho past
two years was equal to forty years
punishment In the penitentiary.
Judge Gregory did not push the cases.
and asked for conviction upon but two
indictments. In each case he was given
the minimum time.
FitzFerald's health is bad, and It is
quite likely that an effort to secure his
pardon will be made before he has served
half his term.
The courtroom was filled with In
tcrested spectators, friends OF the pris-
Oner, and not one Of the faces bore other
than expressions OF sorrow. both for
Fitzgerald and his family. The term
Of imprisonment will begin this week.
