7 HREE SLAYE:RS
TO Be SENTENCED
JOHN sMELTzER, JAMES WAT.
klNs AND VIM. WEBSTER TO
SOON KNOW FATE.

Des Moines, Oct. 1S.-For the first
time in the history of the county
three murderers will stand before the
bar in the criminal division of the dis
trict court Friday and draw sentences
at practically the same time from
Judge Miller.
John Smeltzer, who shot down De.
tective Frank Delmege in cold blood,
and was convicted of first degree
murder and ordered committed to the
state penitentiary for life, will be
first.
James Watkins, also convicted for
first degree murder and ordered sent
to the penitentiary for life for killing
James Weaver, is second, according to
the schedule.
William Webster, convicted Of sec
ond degree murder for shooting down
George Talbot, is third and last. Just
what sentence he will draw is not
known, but it is generally believed
he will draw a term of somewhere
near thirty years. 1t Is within the
power of the court to send him for
life, as the statute provides that Sec
ond degree murderers may be inn
pIlSOueu lOi dliS Lellu VI SoaiS 10
tween ten years and UP to and includ-
ing life, but it is not anticipated that
Judge Miller will impose the maxi
mum.
1t usually takes a Judge about ten
minutes to go through the routine OF
sentencing man, depending on his
remarks, and in these cases it is not
believed the court will waste any
time. 1t is fair guess that all three
men will be sentenced within thirty
minutes, which will be a record, it is
believed that will stand for years.
