NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-Frederick E.
Carlton, Brooklyn's "Blue.Beard" was
sentenced by Judge Aspinwall, in the

serve nineteen years in Sing Sing.
Carlton pleaded guilty last week to

Judge Aspinwall denounced him in
the most scathing terms and express.
ed himself of the opinion that the t..
tie of "bluebeard" ty. which Carlton
had been known since his arrest last
spring was well deserved.
gsI only regret that I cannot give
you the limit of twenty-five years" "
said the Judge in passing sentence.
eIf I could would send you to the
electric chair. I have not the least
doubt you attempted to murder
Schaubb. You said you married two
Brooklyn women and reaped the re-
ward of their death soon after mar
riage by gaining $4,000 in life insur-
ance within ten months. *. At heart
you are murderer, villain, scoun-
