DESERVED LIFE SENTENCE.
scathtng Words From Judge e
Carlton, h Bigamfst.

~
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-There was
dramatic scene in Judge Aspinall'i
court, Brooklyn, when Frederic e
Carlton was sentenced to nineteen
years in Sing Sing prison.
Carlton appeared unmoved. His law.
yer made a strong plea for clemency.
declaring that the prisoner was suf
fering from diabetes and that his foul
trials were rushed through in one day
a thing heretofore unknown. "A long
sentence" he said, twill mean a life
sentence"
District Attorney Clarke then gave
a history of Cartons marriages aud
said he had tried to murder Schwab.
Judge Asphalt in passing sentence
mentioned the disappearance of two Of
the prisoners wives, on whose lives hs
had collected $1,000 in insurance.
"These women" said the Judge
"were either done away with or left
to the cold mercies of the world. If
we're able | would send this man to tn,
electric chair. l believe he gave strych
nine to Schwab, the victim whom he
robbed, and am convinced that only
the latter's strong constitution saved
him."
Turning to Carlton, the Judge said:
you are a villain, and it would be O
good thing for you to go to prison and
die there. l don't care whether you
have diabetes or what you have. The
community should be protected against
you"
