ASKS FOR SHORT SENTENCE.
Prisoner Desires to Die Outside of
Prison-Two Pleas of Guilty.

Kindly give me a short sentence, your
honor, as 1 desire to die outside of pen
itentiary" said Theodore Handy, who to-
day changed his plea of not guilty of a
charge of HOUSEKEEPING to a plea of
guilty.
Justice Gould. who was presiding in
Criminal Court No. 2 in the absence of
Justice Wright, the latter being detained
in Cincinnati, censured Handy for his
criminal record and imposed a sentence of
six months in Jail. The judge also advised
Handy, who claimed to be a veteran of
the civil war, to go to a soldiers home at
the expiration of his sentence.
The charge against Handy was house
breaking, although the facts of the case
showed that he entered a circula ting Ii
brary and took therefrom book on Grim
inaI law The judge was of the opinion
that the defendant should have been
charged with petit larceny, so imposed the
jail sentence.
Henry Wilson, upon pleading guilty to
the larceny of horse and buggy, in the
same court, was given the minimum SEN
tence of one year and one day In the peni-
Tertiary The light sentence was imposed
out of consideration of his age sixty-seven
years, and the fact that he had no crimi-
nal record.

until tomorrow morning, when it is expect
ed Justice Wright will have returned to

The SIav swings from pessimism to opti-

the latter debarked on May O. If third

had encountered strong opposition. The
suggestion of another Japanese debarka-

acting independently is believed to be at

or not an army was landed, the fact was
impressed upon the Associated Press by
a member of the general STAFF that the
Japanese are placing southern Manchuria
absolutely under control before beginning
