Peoria, Ill: Newton C.. Dougherty
pleaded guilty Friday to FIVE Of the forg,
cry charges against him and was taken
to Joliet penitentiary. Dougherty's pecu.
lstiens were placed at over 100000.
He appeared before Judge Worthing.
ton Friday morning, pleaded guilty and
WIS given a sentence Of from one to four
teen years on each OF the five counts, the
same to be concurrent.
As he left the court building Dough

In the court room there were 800 spec

and fnancier would plead guilty. Attor-
ney Irwin addressed the court He said
'Dorsherty had turned all his property
over to him; that he Grwin) had been
given the right OF attorney to settle the
affairs Of the prisoner. He added that

He admitted Dougherty had been care

While the court was speaking Dough
erty looked straight ahead of him and did
not move a muscle. He said nothing when
sentence was pronounced and vas taken
back to Jail, escorted by his attorneys.
D~ougherty's action Friday was as I'M
expected as it was astonishing, he having
last week pleaded not guilty to the same
charges. But the refusal OF Judge
Worthington to quash the indictments
against him, and the fact that the No

ready to return others that would be free
Of any errors charged il the Erst, SO
frightened the coils around the prisoner
that he ce.la sec &c va; out. He there
fore threw himself on the mercy Of the
court, trusting that his old friend would
deal as Ieniently as possible with him.
This marks the closing scenes OF the
most astounding school fund robbery ever
brought to public notice. For twenty
five years Newton C.. Dougherty, as city
superintendent and for nearly twenty
years as secretary OF the board, had al
most absolute control Of the school funds.
