Raleigh Sentenced to Six Months In jail.

Raleigh Sentenced to Six Months In jail.
Thomas Raleigh of Hlnsdale was placed
In the Cheshire county jail at Keene Mon
day night to serve a sentence of 50 days,
imposed by Judge Chamberlain. He will
also pay a fine of $50, but through the
efforts of his counsel, w. r. Daley of
Brattleboro, he will save $3.50 and four
months of imprisonment. Raleigh is well
known In local baseball and sporting cir
Giles. At the October term of the Cheshire
county court in 1905 the grand jury found
hve indictments against Raleigh for SELL
ing liquor without a license. Raleigh
pleaded guilty to all five indictments and
he was sentenced to serve six months in
jail and to pay fine Of 5000 on each of
three indictments. the two others being
continued and placed on the docket
where they have been ever since. Raleigh
paid $500 on one indictment, but the rest
of the sentence was suspended. County
Solicitor o. f. Cain of Keene had detec-
tives on Ralelgh's trail a few weeks ago
and caught him selling liquor without a
license and on Saturday he was arrested
on a mittimus Issued upon one of the in
dictments In which sentence of imprison-
ment had been suspended, and he was
taken to Keene and sentenced to serve
six months in jail. Mr.. Daley appeared
before the court Monday and asked that
the prisoner be released and Judgment be
set aside as 1t was in excess of the statute
provided for cases of that kind and was
therefore Illegal. His claim was that the
statute under which Raleigh was sem
fenced applied only to licensees who had
violated their licenses. The court sus-
tanned the contention and released
Raleigh, whereupon County Solicitor Cain
called up the two indictments on the
docket, and under one of them Raleigh
was sentenced to serve six months in Jail
and pay fine of $50. The other indict-
ment is still on the docket. Raleigh,
through his attorney, will bring suit
against Cheshire county to recover the
$500 which he paid under an illegal SEN
tence in 1905
