The scene which followed the SEN
fencing of w. l.. Davis to twenty
years at hard labor in the peniten-
tiary for the murder of John Niece
was one of the most dramatic that
has ever been enacted in the Super
ior court of this city.
With absolute silence the crowd
which has been in attendance at the
trial listened to the words spoken
Ny the court Following sentence
and the dismissal of the jury, for a
quarter of minute the people sat
breathless. Prosecuting Attorney
Grass then shook hands with the
prisoner from across the table and
the friends of the man gathered at
his side.
Mrs. Kelly. a beautiful Kentucky
woman and sister of Davis was
at his side in moment. Tears flow
ed freely Davis broke down and
with his handkerchief wiped away
the tears and the prespiration which
stood out In drops on his forehead.
Many a handkerchief went to the
eyes of the men who stood in that
motley crowd.
Bidding farewell to his friends,
Davis was led by the bailiff to his
cell in the county jail.
Again calling the court to ords
Judge Steiner announced that the
next case will come up for hearing
at ESQ this afternoon.
The Sentence.
The sentence passed by the court,
Of twenty years at hard labor meets
with the approval of those who at
tended the trial and with the jury
men as we'll. The state provides for
death as the extreme penalty for
murder.
For the extreme penalty for MUIR
der in the second degree sentence
of life Imprisonment may be i'm
posed.
This would have been his impris-
onment, as was intimated by the
court had the jury been left to bring
in verdict, which could not have
been other than guilty.
The general opinion on the streets
today is that Davis got off with a
light sentence. The feeling among
a large number was that the Scrip
tural allusion IAN eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth" would be
followed in this case.
Sympathy for the Prisoner.
AS is usual with all cases of this
Kind, a certain amount of sympathy
was expressed for The prisoner.
There was not such an amount, how
ever. as would atone for an outraged
public. Sympathy is expressed for
the wife and family of the man. The
father, who is man of undoubted
honor and respectability came soon
after the commission of the crime
to be of service to his son. He was
in attendance throughout the trial.
Wife Greets Prisoner.
On the opening of the court this
morning Mrs. Davis came forward
and threw her arms around the neck
of the prisoner and kissed him. Her
ewes were heavy and red from weep
ing and the defendent wiped his eyes
700 as he saw that she stood faithful
TO him to the end. They sat to-
gether and talked in low tones, OBJ
,iyious to their surrunodings and the
rows OF spectators who sat in silent
xvmnathy at their sufterings. The
room was cleared shortly afterwards
ana during the interval that elapsed
before sentence was given Davis
walked across from the table and
smoke to the World representative:
His eyes gazed lonsingly out Of the
room where his liberty was destined

in Chicago, January s. or perhaps
later, in San Francisco. The COM

Special Attorneys Kellogg and Sew

that Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish. the deposed

control of which was purchased by the
Hartman interests, will give some
