! IF the court should impose sentence

said tho prosecutor, it would be add

sentence. The power of tho court tt
impose sentence today, not to bogi:
until some future time, is extremely
doubtful. | deem it the duty of the
State to ask that the sentence not bt

! State the right to ask for sentence a
some future time, when such sentence
will not be duplicate of the sentence
he is now serving.
Judge Strong said that tho cast

New Brunswick, Juno 6:-Early
this morning Goorgo M. Vale ntlne,
the wrecker Of the Middlescx County
Bank, of Perth Amboy, who has just
finished six years sentence, less the
time off for good behavior, was
brought frora Trenton to New Bruins
wick by County Detective Ferguson.
He was taken before Judge Strong and
released Gil So, 600 bnil furnished by
his father, Robert NJ. Valentine, OF
Woodbridge.
Word was received that Valentines s
counsel, Judged. K. Rice, was sick
and could not be present, and Willard
r. Clark, who represented Judge
Rice, asked that tho hearing bo post
poned, md that Valentino bo released
ON bail. Prosecutor Berdine made a
motion for q Judgment against Valen-
tipe.- hut Mr.. Clark said that it would
not be possible to DO anything with
the cnse until Judge Rice could get to
court The hearing was set for one
week from tomorrow.
When Valentine was brought into
court he was met by his wife, vino
embraced him and the scene was very
affecting 1t is not known where
Valentine has gone, but it is thought
that he went to the homo of his father
in Woodbridge, where lie will remain
until his trial.
In New Brunswick it is the general
belief that Valentino will never be
re.sentenood and that next Tuesday
he will walk out of tho court free
man.
Valentine has completed sentence
OF six years, less the time deducted
for good behavior. He was sentenced
on July 18, 1890, by Judge Strong
after he had pleaded non wilt to two
allegations charging him with en-
bezzling $25, 600 from the Mlddlesex
County Bank and $1,000 from the
Perth Amboy Savings Institution
His sentence of six years carried witt
IL hard labor. Valentine has been en-
gaged in clerical position since he
has been at prison.
On February %, 1900, he was
brought back to this city and
arraigned in court before Judge
Strong. At this time he pleaded nor
yult, through his counsel, Judge Rice
to the following six indictments:
With making false ontry in the
books of the MiddleseX County BanR
on stub No. 40, ,756, of the Park Ma
tionnl Bank, for 81, 250, thereby draw
ing Sl3, 500 ON 1t, which money was oh
tanned falsely and fraudently.
With drawing a draft for 50. 600 OF
