JOHN COLEMAN WILL BE
BROUGHT TO TARRYTOWN.
Aged Horsethief From New County
Will Be Imprisoned In State
Prison Here.

Officials at the state penitentiary
are preparing a cell and working ac-
commodations for John Coleman, the
aged horsethief OF Ephrata, who was
sentenced this week to an indetermin-
ate term of from one to 10 years, and
who will be brought to the institution
within the next day or so.
Two weeks ago Coleman stole a
team and buggy from the barn of J.
M. Pearce, where he had been allowed
to sleep. He was caught 20 miles from
Ephrata. The horses were cut by barbed
wire and the pole of the buggy, which
had been broken during the drive, had
been spliced with a post to the length
of eight feet out beyond the necky yoke
= He was arraigned and committed to
Jail. Pending the arrival of the train
he was allowed muchd freedom an
tried in broad daylight to steal the
same team.
When sentenced he appeared elated
at the prospect of a long visit to the
penitentiary, and said that that was
his purpose in stealing the team. While
Coleman is an old man and not
bright, the judge held that he was
responsible for his actions.
