SIX YEARS
FOR WA|NEE
Kingsbury Explains His
Remarks---TriaI for
ENLIGHTENMENT.

| George Wainee was sentenced by
Judge De Bolt yesterday to imprison-
ment at hard labor for six years. on
the jury's verdict of granddaughter in
the second degree. with a recommends
ton to mercy.
s. B. Kingsbury, leading attorney
| for the defense, in asking for the min
| imum sentence-fiye years, the maxi
mum being ten-disclaimed having had
| any intention of discrediting the Ha-
waiian Judiciary or executive in his
closing address to the jury. It was
cracy, that he said existed here, with
which he had meant to find fault.
Every lawyer of experience knew that
the appointed judges in the Territories
were better than the elected judges in
the States. He had expressed his ap-
probation of the abilities and character
of Governor Carter. In conclusion he
argued that the recommendation to
| mercy was part of the verdict and
said that if the defense had spoken
the last word the defendant would have
| been acquitted.
Deputy Attorney General NJ. F.
| Prosser ironically thanked Mr.. Kings
| bury for renouncing the intent to at
tack the administration of justice,
adding: There have been too many
cases of wife-beating fere. 1 came
here with a view to seeing what SEN
| tence the court would impose upon a
| man who beats his wife to death. The
| mitigating circumstance in this murder
case appears to be that only woman
| was killed. The evidence would have
warranted a verdict of murder in the
| first or second degree. I am only sorry
| that the court cannot impose a SEN
| tence higher than the highest
Judge De Bolt praised counsel for
! their conduct of the case, making spe-
cial reference to the volunteering of
| Mr.. RaWlins to assist the defense on
| account of long acquaintance with the
defendant, and said there should be a
law fixing a fee for attorneys repre-
| sentng defendants unable to pay.
Though he could hardly agree with the
Deputy Attorney Generals view or
| what the verdict might have been, he
scarcely agreed with the jury. either.
1t was his opinion that Wainee should
fore he sentenced him for six years.
So Wainee will have to serve five
with all his credits deducted.
