charged, and was guilty OF the Of
tense OF grand larceny, that he is
sentenced to the custody of the
Board OF Trustees of the Indiana
Reformatory to be confined there
in or at such place as he can be
most conveniently and properly
cared for, not less than one year,
nor more than Ii years. That he
make his fine unto the state OF
Indiana in the penal sum OF $500
