THIRTY YEARS FOR
 HIGHWAY ATTEMPT
NEGRO ATTACKED MISS HOLMES AT ALLEY F AND SOUTH TWEN- TEETH STREET EARLY ONE EVENING DURING SUMMER.

William Taylor, a negro about 25 years old was given a S0-year sentence upon conviction of a charge of highway rob- bery in the first division of the criminal court yesterday afternoon. Taylor is charged with having held up and robbed Miss Katherine Holmes on South Twen- tieth street, at the head of Alley F, just after dark one evening last summer.
 The evidence in the case tends to show that Miss Holmes had been to market and was on her way home when, as she started to cross Alley F, a negro, who is claimed to have been the defend ant, intercepted her and, after taking hold of the basket which the young lady held in her hand struck her, or struck at her, causing her to fall to the ground.
 The screams of the young woman at- tracted the attention of several negroes in Alley F between Twentieth and Twenty-frst streets, and when the high wayman ran up the alley and they ran after him and caught him as he got nearly to Twenty-second street Miss
 
 man who held her up.
 The defense which the negro put up was that he was intoxicated at the time of the incident, and was unable to req son. He testified on the witness stand that he was even so drunk that he did not remember how many drinks he had had; in fact he stated that he did not remember holding up the lady at all. By reason of the testimony of the ar resting officer and of the negroes who caught Taylor, and of his ability to almost outfoot his pursuers, the jury put little credence in the plea of drunkenness. They returned verdict after being out about two hours.
 When the verdict was read the de- fendant accepted the penalty optimistical- ly. His actions as he was remanded to the county jail showed that he expected a much heavier penalty. The maximum penalty which might have been imposed by the jury was death by hanging.
