 Harris, who is a white man, was convicted of grand larceny in the Cir cult Court of Lamar County, and sent enced to a prison term covering in to tai one year, seven months and twenty days, the sentence to be executed be- ginning September 2. 1906.

 He was employed about ten daya ago. and secured altogether seven pairs of shoes, of which he sold six pairs, then leaving the city. The seventh pair was hidden by him, but was later recovered by Special ofacer E. w. Jackson of the police department. The seven pairs were said to be worth SIS. 50.
 So far as could be learned by his employers, he went to the homo of but one patron of the store, A "C. O. D." package had been sent there, and the boy was evidently in the hope that he could collect the money there. In that, however, he was unsuccessful.
 In sentencing the boy, Judge Baber told him that his offense in embedding the shoes from the man who had be- frfended him by giving him an oppor- tunity to work, was about as bad as 1t could well be. He therefore sentenced him to the fuIi limit allowed by the law, six nsnths at hard labor.
