her, but the disease spread to her back,

COLLINS SENTENCED
FOR RAISING SCRIP
YOUTH SAYS ISSUE BY BANKS
WAS UNLAWFUL
Convicted of Increasing Face Value of
Emergency Currency, Prisoner
Must Serve Three Years
In Prison

Gilbert T., Collins, convicted of rails
ing 81 piece of scrip to $40 and pass
ing it November rs, 1907, despite a plea
made by the prisoner to the court that
would have put many an attorney to
shame, was. sentenced by Judge w. p.
James in department one of the SUI
perior court to serve three years in the
state penitentiary at Folsom.
When asked If there was any reason
why judgment should not be pro-
nounced against him, Collins said en-
phatically that there was.
II would like to call to the attention
of the court Sec. 64S of the penal code,
which declares it crime to circulate
anything but the lawful money of the
United States as legal money. The
officers of the Clearing House associ-
alton admitted on the stand here that
they had circulated scrip as money.
That in itself was a crime. 1 also
would like to call to the courts atten-
ton the fact that the scrip was con-
trary to the constitution of the state
of California and of the United States.
You placed my brother on probation.
He Is older than 1 am. / believe that
the least you should do to me is to
place me on probation also"
Judge James refused to accept the
young mans plea as an excuse for act
ing contrary to the verdict of guilty
and sentenced the prisoner.
