Arthur Edmonds of Glenwood, convicted
in the district court last week of e~nticing
two young girls into a house of Ill repute,
was sentenced yesterday morning by Judge
Thornell to the reformatory at Anamosa
for an indeterminate term not exceeding
ten years. Sentence was passed after a
motion for a new trial had been overruled
by the court.
AS Edmonds is only q years of age. It
was necessary that the court send him to
the reformatory as, under the new law,
the minimum age for the penitentiary at
Fort Madison is 30 years. After sentence
had been pronounced, Edmonds was
placed on the stand by his attorneys
and under oath stated to the court that
he was without funds and could not secure
the money needed for the transcript of
the evidence in his case in furtherance Of
an appeal to the supreme court. Judge
Thornell then ordered that the transcript
of the evidence and other expenses con-
nected with the appeal be borne by the
county.
Walter Goodwin, the boy burglar" who
confessed to a long series of burglaries
and who pleaded guilty to breaking into
and robbing the Ham residence on South
Tenth street, was also given an indie
terminate sentence of ten years in the
Anamosa reformatory.

Walters, across the abdomen with a razor
at the latter's home on Franklin avenue,

witness stand removed a portion of his
| clothing so that the jury might see the
wound alleged to nave been inflicted by

planned to the jury by City Physician

intent to commit murder.

& Nielsen, the saloonmen charged with con-
tempt of court. agreed yesterday to submit
their cause without argument and Judge

He announced hat he would probably
render his decision today.
