Julius Winburn May Receive a
Shorter Prison Sentence
Than Thought.
CHARGES WILL BE CHANGED
THE GRAND JURY WILL BE
ASKED TO CHARGE THE MAN
WITH PETIT LARCENY INSTEAD
OF BURGLARY.

Friday. the thirteenth day Of the
month, did not prove Jonah day" to
julius Winburn, a colored man re-
Gently indicted by the grand jury on a
charge Of burglary.
Today was the date set for the trial
of Winburn. This morning Perry j.
Freeman, county pauper attorney who
had been assigned by the court to de
fend the negro, appeared before Prose
cutor Jessup.
MIR. Prosecutor" spoke the pauper
attorney "Winburn has been indicted
for burglary. The penalty for this of
fense is a penitentiary sentence of ten
years. Considering the fact that Win
burn. while technically guilty of the
charge on which he was indicted, only
stole ten dollars and a quart of whis-
key, it seems to me that it would be
pretty harsh to make man spend ten
years of his life in prison for stealing
no more than Winburn did. If the
charge against Winburh will be
!
will enter a plea of guilty"
Prosecutor Jessup saw the justice in
| Mr.. Freeman's remarks, and he told
him that steps would be at once taken
to bring the case once more to the at
tention of the grand jury, which is in
session today, 1t is probable that the
grand jury after recCnstdering the
Winburn case will indict the man on
two charges. the first for burglary and
the second for petit larceny.
This action being taken by the
grand jury. Winburn will be prOsecut
cd on the second count. that OF petit
larceny Mr.. Freeman will enter a
plea Of guilty for the cOlOred man
The penalty for this otfense Is an inde
terminate term in the penitentiary OF
from one to eight years. If Winburn
behaves himself in prison he will in
all probability be discharged after
completing the first year of his sen
tenCc.
