Mrs. Pauline Rizutto, who was con-
victed of assault and battery in the
superior court last Tuesday for shoot
ing Mrs. Frank Allessio, was sentenced
to pay a fine of $3.50 and cocts, amount
ing to $21S.S0, by Judge Brents this
morning. In view of the recOmmenda-
tions of the jury. the sentence was
probably lighter than it would other
wise have been. The extreme penalty
is one year in the county Jail and
fine of $780, Mrs. Rizutto appeared in
court with her husband and two small
children, one a baby in arms. A motion
for new trial made by Attorney Gar
recht was overruled. Attorney Gar
recht then made an appeal for leniency
touching at length on some of the tes-
timony of the states witnesses. I'M
mediately after sentence was pro-
nounced the fine was paid and RiZutto
and his family left the courtroom.

LIBERAL, THOUGH A THIEF,

Fall of Man Who Was Employed to
 Prevent Dishonesty in Others.
 Criminologists must find the fall of the Bostonian who robbed surety company of which he was manager of $10O,000 fascinating study in the metaphysics of larceny. Here was a man said to be of exemplary habits and a most generous dispositions" who gave $50 a day to the poor in many ways a model husband and father and a devoted pillar Of the church. Besides being surrounded by all the. ordinary influences which should have taught him that theft is a mistake as well as a crime, the surety company's manager was engaged in q business which drove home to him with uncommon force its daily illustration that the way of the transgressor is hard It was his busi- ness to give bonds, at q price. for men in posts of financial trust to insure their employers against loss by embez- element Frequently he was called upon to prosecute and punish default CTS. Yet all the while he was stealing from the church, stealing from the wid- ow and orphan. stealing from the char itable society and presenting the para tiox of stealing from a company whose business it is to insure against losses by theft.
 It may be that some day the scien- lists will demonstrate the theory that no horrible example and no fear of punishment can check the passion for embeZZlement once it seiZes on a vic tim. Perhaps the Rockefeller research bureau eventually will transfer the disease of larceny from the purview of the police to the domain of bacteriol-, ogy and by isolating the germ of em- beZzlement will hold the army of fall en bank cashiers up to public pity in- stead of reproach. just like victims of smallpox. Meanwhile, we suppose, the primitive and brutal method of at tachng them to chain with an iron ball on the end of it will continue to be practiced.-New York Press.
