Judge Preston reconvened the dis

is the colored man, protesting to be
an exalter, who was declared guilty
by jury last week. He contended to
the last that he is innocent, claiming
Stewart Hoffman, the prosecuting wit
mess, says the colored man when he
took the money from MIN gave his
name as Scott, but he positively iden.
titled him as Brady. Before receiving
his sentence Brady told the court that
he had travelled from coast to coast
and had never given any other name
than that of Brady" and that he had
never before been arrested nor ac-
cused of any crime. Judge Preston
however, refused to discuss the ques-
tion of his guilt or innocence, explain
Il ing that that proposition had been de-
cided by the jury and he pronounced
as his sentence that he be confined in
the state penitentiary at FIT. Madison

coed five years, subject to the will OF
the board OF parole. Brady will be
