EIGHT YEARS FOR
JEWELRY THIEF
Judge De Bolt Gives Heavy
Sentence to Chinese
Burglar.

| The only matter of Importance Il
| come before the Circuit Court yester.
day was the sentencing of All POI
found guilty of burglarizing Haffner's
| iewelry store Judge De Bolt sentenced
the Chinaman to eight years in Jail
though his counsel pleaded that he had
already suffered a long term of con-
finement and a short sentence would
fulfill the requirement of the law as
well as long term. Deputy Attorney
General Milverton wanted to see All
Poi get the limit for the crime, ten
years.
In delivering the sentence, Judge De
Bolt called attention to the fact that
in many cases of crime there was some
circumstance which had brought the Of
fender within the temptation which led
to his downfall but in the present case
there was nothing of the kind. He
stated that he had no doubt Of All POTS
guilt and that he appeared to be a
criminal by choice and that his only
thought, once that he had committed
a crime, was not of repentance, but of
the best way in which to escape pun
ishment for the evil which he had
done. He stated that he believed that
the prisoner was a dangerous man to
be at liberty and for that reason he
gave him the long term, in the hope
that when he came out he would see
where he had been wrong and would
try to lead better life.
