PATHETIC COURT SCENE
Caused by Young Man Pleading
Guilty 10 Horse Stealing.

Quite q pathetic scene was wit
messed in the district court room
Wednesday morning. Homer
Thompson, young man offine ap-
pearance, entered plea of guilty to
a charge of horse theft. The offense
charged against young Thompson
was committed in 1896 and the horse
alleged to have beenRstolen was the
property of a farmer living on DR..
! Sweatt's farm. In entering a plea of
guilty the youne U made a short
talk to the cogs jury. He said
he was not ae any culpabIe
: motive, but vi ven to the crime
| by desperationS8 He was only 10
years old and had not been married
long. His wife was sick and he was
without means and had no employ
that day to get some medicine for
I his wife, but having no money was
unable to do so. 1t was while re-
turning home that he made up his
mind to to take the horse and sell it.
He said his only though. -aS &c &c:
money so that he might secure med
ical treatment for his wife. While
the defendant was detailing this
story he was unable to control his
emotion and great tears trickled
down his cheeks. The weeping Of
his wife and little girl, who sat near,
made rather "A pathetic scene which

THE DOSE IS DOUBLED
Jury Gives George hsseR q Term Of
-Four Years in the Pen.

The charge OF the court in the
case of the state against George
Mason was delivered to the jury
this morning about O'Clock. A
little less than two hours later they
returned verdict of guilty, assess
ing the defendants punishment at a
term of four years in the peniten-
tiary. This was double the penalty
imposed against him in the former
trial of this case.
Mason was tried on an indict-
ment charging robbery or theft from
the person. The offense Awas COM
mitted in this city one nigat last
winter, the story OF which is famil-
lar to readers of the Light. Mag
Love, negress, was indicted as a
principal in this transaction, and
upon the trial of her case she was
convicted and given term OF three
years in the pen. Her case was
taken to the higher court where it
was affirmed. Mason's trial fol-
lowed and he was convicted, getting
a term of two years in the states
prison. Shortly after the trial one
of the jurors that convicted him
made the statement that the case
was discussed by the jury before
receiving the courts charge. When
this was brought to the attention of
the court new trial was granted.
Mag Hines, another negress, who
was mixed up in the affair, was
promised immunity from prosecu-
tion If she would stay here and ap-
pear against Mason In this trial.
Soon after Mason was released from
Jail after "A new trial had been grant
ed, Mag Hines disappeared. She
had not returned when the grand
Jury convened, and one Of tbe first
bills turned in was against her,
charging her with completely in the
robbery. The officers believed Ma
son bad a hand In her disappearance
from ths city, but were not able TO
prove it, Yesterday In the trial Of
the case the fact was brought out
that Mason bought the Hines wo-
man a ticket from here to Shawnee, |
Oklahoma.
Ellis Ciardy, charged with mur-
der, is now on trial.
