FIVE YEARS FOR ONE;
ONE YEAR FOR OTHER,

Misdemeanor Recommendation I'm
One Case Disregarded by the Court.
Charles Berrien, alias Pop Corn
and Henry Crittendon were yesterday
found guilty of highway robbery with
a recommendation that they be pun
ished as for misdemeanor. The court
declined to heed the recommendation in
the case of Pop Corn" who had been
further recommended to mercy, and
sentenced him to five years in the PEN
Tertiary. Crittendon was sentenced to
pay fine of 800 or serve twelve
months on the chaingang. Berrien got
the heavier sentence because Of his
previous bad record.
The two negroes were accused of
holding up Harry Latter, colored, on
the Ogeechee road and that after beat
ing him they took from him all his
money, amounting to little more than
81. They left him lying unconscious
In the road, where he was found later
by a cabman and carried to his home.
The prosecutor identified the defend
ants positively and his testimony was
substantiated by other witnesses.
The case, which should have taken
less than an hour in trying, dragged
along for more than two hours. The
Defense which was conducted by At
torney John T.. Myrick, moved so
slowly that several times Judge Cam
had to request the attorney to hurry
up. Innumerable objections were rails
ed and in one instance an attempt was
made to continue the argument on the
question raised even after the court
had ruled.
During the argument of the assistant
solicitor, he was interrupted by the at
torney for the defense, who asked per-
mission to call the attention Of the
jury to some facts that he had omit
ted to mention in his plea. This was
granted and then the statement was
made that the prisoners had been IN
jail ever since their arrest and not out
on bond.
Constant Interruptions to the argu-
ment of the states attorney followed
until finally the court was compelled
to request the defendants counsel 10
observe the rules of the court and IL
he had any objections. TO offer them
to the court and not argue with the
assistant solicitor Assistant Solicitor
Dan j. Charlton conducted the prose-
cution.

ly Vandiver was even relegated
to the rear, and Phelps was in
the saddle. 1t is said that the
people of Vernon county have
never seen so much money dur
ing any ore electlou.
Does anyone now doubt that
Folk had a reason for allowing
Phelps to get away from the
st. Louis grand jury without
claiming his constitutional
right to refuse to answer ques =
tons?
The people of this state will
ask:
"Wby has this wonderfully
capable prosecuting officer not
brought Chief Lobbyist Phelps
under the guns of the prescott
ing attorneys Officer"
Why has Phelps not been in
dicted?
Why did Shannon have such
an easy time before the same

Why did he immediately, up
on emerging from the st. Louis

self for Folk?

Why were not he and Phelps
and Fire Alarm" Flanagan
compelled to answer questions
as other witnesses we're?
If any prosecuting attorney
of ordinary ability shall fail,
with the evidence in hand, to
get this chief lobbyist closer to
trouble than has Mr.. Folk, he
would be denounced as either a
fool or a knave.
Phelps's appearance at Ne
vada openly working in his pc,
culiar and financial way for
Folk gives the complete answer
to these inquiries. He is for
Folk because it is to his inter
ests to be for Folk. Bill Phelps
never did anything against his
interests.
This arch lobbyist. who has
ruined more clean young legis-
lators than any other man in
the history of Missouri, is hand
in hand with the puritanical
Jose phi w. Folk, in an effort to
bring about a purer and better
condition in the state of Mis-
souri,.

that the American people were
never satisfied until they were
humbugged and hoodwinked. "
If the people of Missouri fail
to see through this gauzy hy-
pocrisy the saying is true to-
day.
These questions have been
put to Mr.. Folk time and again
and he has never yet answered
them. Let him devote a part
of his speech-mdking to telling
the great state of Missouri why
he is not prosecuting "Bill'

lands Representative Reeder of Kan
sas urged the president to use his in
fuence to secure a change in the pub

the laws ought to be changed at once

pie who merely desired to dispose of
them at the earliest possible moment,
No decision regarding the matter was
reached.
