Henry Sussman, convicted wife muir.

fore Judge David f. Simpson at 1890
o CLOCK Sussman heard the words pro-
nounced which condemned him to spend

sentence was pronounced he was on his
way to Saltwater, escorted by Sheriff
Dreger and Deputy Sheriff Joseph
Schutta. ,5 t
Had Sussman been convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree, he would have
paid the death penalty. This fact was
Indicated by Judge Simpson. who. in
sentencing Sussman, stated that aitho
the law provided only one penalty for
murder in the second degree, that of
life imprisonment, he wished to say
that there was nothing in Sussman' Is
crime which tended to mitigate his of

piled: II have nothing to say and
Judge Simpson,. after stating that the
only punishment provided BY law for
the crime Of murder in the second de-
gree was confinement in prison for life,
said:
"While the evidence is clear in my
mind desire to state that the circum-
stances surrounding the killing by YOU
OF your. wife have tended greatly to
aggravate your crime, and I do not
see in any way in your case that the
punishment fixed for the crime of which
you have been convicted should to any
extent be mitigated or lessened."
: AS the Judge passed sentence. Suss-
man stood with bowed head in front of
the clerks desk. He swallowed hard
during the proceeding, but in no other
way showed signs Of emotion. His at
torney said nothing, altho he stood with
Sussman as sentence was passed. None
OF the members of Sussman's family
was present and none of them said
goodbye to him as he left the county
jail. for prison. He had no overcoat
as he left the Jail handcuffed to the
deputy.
His attorney said today that in all
bility the case would not be ap-
pealed to the supreme court. -.
