meanors, not felonies, and therefore he
could be imprisoned. not In states pris-

While was meditating, late that
night, upon the proper sentence, i sud-
denly recollected the testimony which
had been prepared by Samuel j. Tilden
afterwards governor OF the state and
Democratic candidate for president
That was a wonderful piece OF analytic
work done by Governor Tilden. He had
few scraps OF paper, some mutilated
stubs OF checks, and a few other docu-
ments, and with these he demonstrated
as accurately as any teacher oould
demonstrate a mathematical problem
not only what the total steaiings OF
the Tweed conspiratOrs were but what
snare each one OF the conspirators re-
oelYed His demonstration showed that
Tweed received 20 per cent SO
saIa 70 myself; AS Tweed got 20 per
cent OF the total stealings, why not
sentence him 20 20 per cent OF the To-
tal number Of years which the statutes
sci forth as the maximum penalty? I
could give him FIVE years on each count
or the Indictment Twenty per ceat
