FROM BROS. comPA NY AND is sENTEncgo-sAn
SCENE COURT

John Mcdonald. the defauitinR
cashier OF the Crane Bros. Com
pany. pleaded guilty In Judge Tall
mans department OF the superior
court this morning 20 having en-
bezxlcd from his employers $4,000
during the past year as n result OF
his infatuation for playing the
horses In local pool rooms.
With bowed head he received a
sentence Of two years In the peni-
Tertiary and then surrendered him

He was taken 20 the county Jail
and viii be held there until ar
engagements are made 10 transfer
him TO the penitentiary at Walla

The scene In court this morning
was sad one. The same old story
was told Of n straightforward young
business man led astray by his fond
ness for gambling. taking n little
from his employers from time to
time 60 pay HIS gambling debts, In
tending To pay It back. until the
truth that he was hopelessly in

plea and receive his punishment.

reason why he should not be SEN

toned 10 his attorneys Walter s
Fulton and &. II. Farrell. both OF

your honot.' Mr.. Fulton began.
This young man has gone the
course Of many thousands. For 10
years he has been one OF the most
trusted employees Of Crane Bros.
Company inc one place or another,
and has handled millions OF dollars.
Until a short time ago his reputa-
ton was OF the best. He was an
honest upright young business man
with hosts Of friends. Through an
unfortunate combination OF circum-
stances he stands in this court to-
day confessed felon.
He has given to the officers OF
his company the information on
which, should he have pleaded not
guilty. they could have convicted
him. He is willing 20 suffer the con-
sequences OF his crime.
"Why9 Because the knowledge Of
his guilt preyed upon his mind until
he nearly became distracted ard could
stand Il no longer. He feels that life
holds nothing I'm store for him unless
he can pay the penalty OF his crime
and come out into the world again and
make a fresh start

increase the fortunes which Mr. Nc
