YOU have anything to say you must say
1t now"
FOR STAY CT SENTENCE.
Mrs. Chadwick said there was nothing
she cared to say for herself Her attorney
made no appeal to the court and the SEN
tencc was Immediately imposed.
j. i. Dawley, Of counsel for Mr.. Chad
wick took exceptions to the sentences up
on each count except the final.
The defence intends to make the claim
that the court cannot impose a separate
sentence for each count; that the law APP
plies to the general charge instead OF each
| incident OF a general charge. The various
counts OF the indictment are considered
by the defence to refer only to details OF
the general offence.
Either Judge Francis J. Wing or Mt
Dawley will go TO Cincinnati tomorrow
10 make arrangements for review OF the
case by the district court OF appeals. The
first step will be 20 ask for q stay OF sem
tancc until the appeal Is tried out
There was an understanding with Unit
cl states marshal Chandler, United
State Attorney Sullivan and the court
yesterday that there would be no attempt
TO execute the sentence until the defence
bad an opportunity to carry the case to
the higher court and there obtain a sus-
rt1sion OF the sentence.
