TO SERVE TWENTY-sEVEN YEARS
Confessed Horse Thief Sentenced in
Fairfax, Va, to Penitentiary.

William H. Thomas. alias Lee. colored.
who was arrested several weeks ago for
alleged horse stealing in Virginia. as stated
in The Star at the time, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Nicol, at Fairfax Court House,
yesterday. There were nine indictments
against him. and he said he wanted to en-
ter plea of guilty to each charge. The
court sentenced him to serve three years
in each case, making a total of twenty
seven years Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary at Richmond. When the prisoner had
admitted his guilt he was remanded to JAIL
before which, at his own request, the sem
tence was pronounced.
Detectives Parham and O'Brien were in
court as witnesses in the case, but as no
testimony was heard it was not necessary
for them to be placed on the stand. 1t is
said that rewards aggregating about $4OO
had been offered, but, it was stated. the
amounts are to be paid to persons other
than the two detectives who recovered part
of the stolen property.
