RUNYAN INCIDENT CLOSED.
Defaulting Teller Gets Seven Years In
Sing Sing.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 11.-Judge Whit
man this morning sentenced Chester B.
Runyan. the teller who stole s96. 600 from
the Windsor Trust Company. to seven years
in state prison Both he and his counsel.
William w. Cantwell, showed by their looks
that they were greatly shocked at the out
come Of the case.
Runyan had hoped to be sent to Elmira
or some other institution less severe than
state prison His confession. his partial
restitution of the funds taken. his attempt
to aid the states case against Laura Car
ter. the companion who gave him up. were
considerations in addition to his youth, his
bad health and the evidence Of a friendly
disposition toward him in the district at
torney's office. which had led him to hope
for mild sentence.
Runyan was an appealing figure to any
persons sympathettcally disposed when he
appeared before Judge Whitman this morn
ing. He was paler of cheek than he could
be from the ordinary prison paiior AT NJ
time during his appearance In court had ne
appeared boyish. He had lost weight.
so that his features. without much OF their
former flesh. appeared in all their weak
ness. His retreating chin had sunk into
little ridge Of bone.
Lawyer Cantweil addressed te court
briefly in his clients behalf. quoting from
a letter written by Mrs. Runyan to the Ell
feet that she hoped to live long enough to
see her husband again respectable citi-
zen. Judge Whitman Seemed surprised at
the breyity of MIR. Cantwell's plea, al
though it was very much to the point. the
request being that Runyan be sent to IAN
institution" Sentence was pronounced
without commentary from the bench. At
the words state prison Runyan jumped
as if at a touch of live wire. With the
last word he dropped heavily into his seat.
Without further ado he was picked UP by
the elbows and led out of court, back over
the Bridge of Signs for the last time. and
then to the TOmbS.
1t was said he would probably be con
veyed to Sing Sing this afternoon
