Six Years
For Duke
DealhPldge

Judge KEENAN, this morning over
ruled the motion for a new trial in
the case of Duke Deathridge and sen,
fenced him to six years in the peni-
teniary. In passing sentence the court
said that if this single case stood alone
against the prisoner greater clemency
might he shown, but to personal knowl-
edge OF the court the prisoner had been
bad character for the past four years
When sentence was passed young
Deathridge's head dropped and he
seemed completely overcome.
The otfense of which the prisoner
was found guilty was the stealing OF
two saddles from the Klondike livery
stable.

An appeal was taken to the superior
court, and the case tried before a jury
which was evenly divided on the ques-
ton of guilt, Mr.. Smiths lawyer con-
tending that there was clear case
of conspiracy against his client by the
bellicose Swedes and that as matter
of fact and Justice the young heifer
had harmed no one during her brief
period of liberty from his stockade,
and that the complaint in alleging that
it was a bull when it was heifer was
not only defective in law, but showed
plainly on it's face that it was based
upon malice.
Later he moved to dismiss the case,
but the court, after hearing argument.
decided that the gender was not a
question of law, but one of fact, and
that the matter was properly in the
province of jury.
The case will be redocketed and tried
again, making the third trial, and in
the meantime the costs continue to nc
emulate.
