SENTENCED TO YEAR AND HALF

Following determination to throw himself upon the mercy of the. trial court instead of carrying his case to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. as he had intended. Eugene Hester. stili protesting that he was innocent. was yesterday sentenced by Judge Thomas G. Jonks In the United States District ce4rt to serve eighteen months in the Federal prison at Atlanta
 Hester was found guilty week ago Of robbing a railway mail ear of which he had charge. taking therefrona pack ages containing some s3,00o. At first, through his lawyers, he announced his intention to take his case to higher tribunal on a writ of error. Mean while he was in jail, in default of $3,000 bond. and he and members of his family thought best to depend up- on the court to give light sentence.
 His wife and his father each had long talks with Judge Jones. Mrs. Hester has elung to her husband faith fully all through his trouble. and, while she said she still believed him innocent, she preferred that he De sfv- en a light sentence which would soon be oyer, than to go through the ordeal

of another trial. Hester's father took this same view of the case. and the appeal was abandoned.
 The o9ense of which Hester was found guilty is punishable by impris- onment for not less than one nor more than five years on each count, The indictmnet on which Hester was tried contained i've counts and he was found
 guilty in four of them. This made the maximum penalty twenty years
 The eighteen months imposed by Judge Jones applies to each of the four counts. but the sentences will run con-
 currently and will amount tn only eighteen months all total This term
 will be reduced to fifteen months for
 good behavior.
 Charge of Judge.
 When Hester was asked by the court
 If he had anytLlng to say why the
 sentence of the law should not be pro-
 nounced upon him, he said: T say l
 am not guilty. Judge. but ask for the
 mercy of the court.'
 The sentence, as given by Judge
 Jones, follows,
 Hester, today is perhaps the dark
 est day of your life. The judge is the
 mere instrument of the law, and is not
 an enemy of the prisoner because he sentences him. It Is in no spirit or uHkiH0tiHSbe t0 you tndt StotNs tt'>. I been member of that jury. I would nave felt compelled. upon the evi- dspce, before 1t. to render the same verdict; but that is looking backwards I You are a comparatively young man, and you have something to look to in the future. "You have hitherto. borne a good character You have devoted wife , who believes in you, and clings to you. U ehffdrAn wh1 are yet to grow up. You have an old soldier father who will welcome you home when your sentence expires, You have friends who doubt your guilt. I Many appeals have been made for you The jury itself has formally reeom- mended you to the mercy of the court. l do not think 1t my duty to disre- gard these considerations in determfn- ing the sentence the court will i'm pose.
 Tt Is the certainty rather than thf | severity of the punishment which serves to deter violators of the law. So | far as you are concerned, the lessona of the sentence the court will impose will be as effective as-E sentence Tor ! the extreme limit, under the indictment which would be twenty years. The purpose of the law is to heal, not to destroy, in a case like yours. Sentences Concurrent. "The sentence of the court is, that, for the effenses of which you have been convicted, you be confined at hard 1 labor in the United states penitentiary at Atlanta, Georgia, for period of eighteen months. to date from the day the verdict was returned into court; but the sentences will run concur rently. so that all will expire at the same time
 "Tfvou submit eheerfulIy to the pris- on reguations and behave we'll you will be entitled to a remission of a part of the sentence for goed conduct
 Men frequently falls and yet redeem | themselves. When you go to Atlanta, don't go as a man without hope. Have the purpose to repay the safferings of those who have elung to you, by life and example, hereafter, which Will ! blot out the past, and enable you to | be of further service to them, and l your fellow man." l Hester will be sent to Atlanta in charge of United States Deputy Mar shall this morning.
