HAMS SENTENCE.
mot Less Than Fifteen Nor
More Than Twenty Years.
Pleads Guilty to EmbezzIement Cases
at Boston.
Sentence Is in State Prison at Hard
Labor.

Boston March a9.-Wallace II. Ham,
formerly Boston manager of the Amer
lean Surety 60. OF New York. was SEN
fenced by Judge Harris in the superior
court today. 10 not less than Is nor
more than 90 years in the state prison.
at hard labor. Ham last week pleaded
guilty to l. out of Is counts in an in
dictment charging him with the en-
beZ2lement of nearly a quarter of 4
million dollars from the company and
from the st. Luke's Home Tor Conva-
lescents in RoNbury. The court scored
liam severely in passing sentence.
When Ham was brought into court
at the close of the regular session of
the day to receive his sentence. every
seat in the chamber was occupied and
hundreds of people We're standing in
the corridors trying to gain admittance.
Before announcing to the clerk the ma
ture of the sentence, Judge Harris read
a statement which was in the nature
of summary of the considerations
which had led him to arrive at his de-
cision.
Mr. Bartlett" ne said turning "a
Charles w. Bartlett, counsel for Mr..
Ham. Il have considered the remarks
which you made when the defendant
pleaded guilty. | have also conferred
with my associates in order to make
sure that the sentence imposed would
meet with their approval. The de-
PENDANT has offered Il plea of guilty as
n silent assent to the evidence of the
government. This is 4 case of DELHI
crate stealing which has been going
on for years and of betrayiIg OF trusts
imposed. Nothing has been sacred to
this man. We even find that he has
been stealing from &n institution
founded to aid sick women. He has
been a shrewd ard successful operator
Nothing has been offered by Ham to
show what has become of the money
which was appropriated. 1t does no.
seem to be plausible that he does no,
know. AS Boston manager of the
American Surety Co of New York, nc
had Il warning constantly before him
ana he always held it up to others
There has been deliberate. methodical
and persistent stealing, and it demands
a most substantial sentence. 1t has
been REPRESENTED that Ham already has
suffered much, that he is in poor health
| This court cannot consider the penalty
which follows morally in the breaking
of the laws. | assume that the COM
moEwealth will not allow the defend
ant to suffer unnecessary physical
| pain"
The clerk then reAd the sentence OF
from Is to 30 years in state prison, The
first day in solitary confinement and
| the rest at hard labor.
When sentence was read Ham bowed
| his head. He gave no evidence OF
whether the sentence was heavier than
expected. He was at once taken from,
| the court room and little later re-
moved to the prison.
The Indictment upon which Ham
pleaded guilty included the charge OF
! the larceny of S224O00 from the Surety
Co. and $4,000 from st. Luke's Home
| for Convalescents in POxbury. of which
he was treasurer. The sentence ot
guilty was upon all IS counts OF The
