Sentence Day in \
Superior Court

Although the fall term of court has
not ended, three convicted men We're
brought into the supreme court this
morning for sentence. Percy r. New
ton, Guy G. Risdon and Frank Le-
Petri were the trio brought up to have
their penalties fixed.
There were no spectators aside from
the lawyers interested in the case and
the usual court officers. The indeter-
inmate sentence law has taken in
terest away from sentence day, as it
takes from the trial judge most of his
power in determining sentence. The
process now is little more than form.
Percy r. Newton, convicted of pass
ing bogus $5 check upon Postmaster
Brunton, was called first. He was Civ
en- the inderterminate sentence of one
to five years in the penitentiary; which
the law fixes for this offense.
Guy G.. RisdOn, convicted of lar
ceny by embeZZlement, was given an
inderterminate sentence of from one to
10 years. He is the man Wno buncoed
farmer during fair week on horse
race Attorney Paul asked that his
sentence be to the county Jail for one
year, but Judge Brents was not in
clined to grant this and committed
him to the state prison.
