from real hfc a man named kibling was sentenced
to prison for sixty years for selling about seven

In this the sentence was legal, and yet it
not what the law meant. Why? Because the last
Ohio Legislature, changing the penalty for

work great hardship and injustice. In drafting
the new law, they Wordcd it SO the penalty was
life Imprisonment, adding, with the most wonderful

recommend mercy.

of Ohio there can be no jury. The question that
Jury decides has been admitted by the defendant,
in open court Even the most eXtenuating circum-
stances then would not lessen the punishment for
burglary if the man pleaded guilty.
SO the very fit the defect in the law
occurred, quite naturally. William Welsh, stray
tramp, being hungry, as tramps often are stroled
into the village of Greenville and stole five pounds
of corned beef from inside the storm door of farm
