Three Men Sentenced.

Three prisoners, one a white man, were sentenced to terms of from fif- teen months to two years in the peni- tentiary by Judge Toulmin, in the United States Court today. Those sem tenced were convicted in that court recently.
 Harry Sparkman and W. H. Mat thews, negroes, were convicted of vio- lating the postal laws in that they falsified as to postofffce accounts. Sparkman was sentenced to fifteen months in the penitentiary and W. H. Matthews two years
 Isaac D. Robinson, a white man, was convicted of the charge of falsifying an affidavit to the civil service com mission in application for a position. It appears that Robinson, in making an application for a position as a rural delivery carrier, averred in an affidavit tht he had never been convicted of any crime. An investigation as to his character disclosed the fact that he had been convicted in the Federal Court here and had done time. Judge Toulmin sentenced him to two years in the penitentiary.
 Sparkman, Matthews and Robertson were taken to Atlanta, Ga, tonight by deputy marshals to begin serving their sentences.
