KILEY GIVEN JAIL SENTENCE
Nine Months for His Part in Copeland Affair with Bogar
dus-Civil Superior Court Business and Decisions

There was a short session of the
criminal superior court at New Lon
don on Friday afternoon, opening at
two o'clock.
As soon as court opened States At
torney Hull asked for the imposing
of sentence in the case of the state
against wilKAm Kiley. Mr.. Hull said:
Il am fully convinced that Kiley had
nothing whatever to do with the kill
ing Of Copeland. Kiley knew a rob
berry had been committed and assisted
Bogafdus in the act Of dlsposing of q
purse which would have been evidence
against Bogardus had 1t been found
on his person. This. and the accept
ance Of some silver money, placed in
Kiley's hand by Bogardus, after the
murder, are the only acts Kiley was
implicated In. He did know rob-
berry had been committed and he did
know that Bogardus had taken the
money from Copeland violently. The
evidence discloses sufficient to make
Kiley guilty Of being an accessory aft
er the fact of robbery.
Clerk Parsons then read the infor-
nation. and Kiley, holding up his right
hand, in weak, uncertain voice said:
Guilty"
"Mr. Hull then recommended Kiley
to the mercy of the court. Tn view
OF the circumstances" said Mr.. Hull,
Il feel inclined to recommend the
accused to the leniency and mercy of
the court. The circumstances seem
10 indicate that these two youn~ men
had been drinking together on this aft
ernoon. In their companionship, dur
Ing this afternoon once or twice, Be-
gardus had spoken of Copeland and
of getting money from Copeland and
of using violence If necessary But
the evidence, I think, showed that
Kiley did not think Bogardus would
commit Jplurder. Bogardus' statement
later: You didn't believe I'd do it,
showed this.
Il feel" said Attorney Hull. that l
ought to urge upon the court that he
ought not to be sent to states prison."
Attorney r. P. Freeman, counsel
for Kiley, added a few words to Mr..
Hulps in behalf Of the accused.
Judge Wheeler then asked Kiley's
age and Kiley answered that he was
"a years Of age.
rs he the son Of the late Thomas
Kiley?" the Judge asked. and upon
receiving the reply that he was, Judge
Wheeler said thoughtfully Thomas
Kiley az remember was a manly
man.
Judge wheeler then sentenced Kiley
TO nine months in Jail. saying in pass
ing sentence: This young man has
learned, as all persons learn sooner
or later in life, that 1t is best to fol-
low the straight and narrow wav. He
has come very near to being a partici-
pant in very serious crime, partic-
ipant in crime that means heavy
penalty"
