SIX YEARS FOR ROBBERY
lemonade Bill Receives Sentence at
Little Falls, MINI.

LITTLE FALLS. MINN.-,Judge Searle Of the
district court sentenced Jesse Neal, alias 'I4em-
onade BILL who convicted Yesterday of
robbing store at Pierz last >September, to a
term of six years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary at saltwater.
The eccentric character and actions Of the ac-
cused drew large crowds to witness the
trial The evidence against him was plain and
conclusive At the recent special term of court
his attorney entered a plea of guilty In his
behalf whereupon the prisoner rose and denied
emphatically any connection with the crime
ending with an impassioned datribe against the
public, newspapers and police force of Little
Falls. His trial then set for the present
term and resulted in conviction.
When sentence pronounced the prisoner
made what is generally regarded a clever
feint for effect. staggering forward and seeming
about to fall unconscious. He has formerly been
an inmate of the insane asylum at Fergus Falls.
