WEDNESDAY, AFTERNOON.
For the first thing in the afternoon
Clarence Carr was called before the
court. The boy, Notwithstanding the
neglect to which he has been subject
ed. is by no means repelling in appear
ance. He has been in Jail since last
July and he shows the effect of long
confinement. Judge Evans told him
that for the offense to which he had
pleaded guilty he could send him to
the penitentiary for twenty years, but
he did not believe that such a sent
ence would be for his best interest.
He, therefore, had decided to give him
a chance to make a man of himself.
The sentence of the court was as fol-
lows:
Now January 16, 1907, the court
sentences the defendant, Clarence
Carr, to pay the costs of prosecution
and to be committed to the care and
guardianship of the managers of the
PENNSYLVANIA Industrial Reformatory
at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, there
to be kept, fed and clothed and treated
as the law directs and to stand COM
mitted until the sentence of the court
is complied with. By the court,
Charles @. Evans, P. j.
The court informed Clarence Carr
that he would be likely to remain at
the reformatory for at least ten years.
