o'clock with Judge Brown presiding.
This being the time of passing SEN
tence on Bill LAWYER, convicted of vag-
rancy, Judge Brown ordered Lawler to
stand up to take his medicine. The
usual formalities were gone through
with and his attorney made . n!ca of
leniency in which he attempted to point

the plea that weighed for leniency, but
did see mnch that turned the scale the
other way.
Judge Brown closed by sentencing
Lawler to the county Jail for 90 days, all
the law allows, and ordered that he be put
to work on the public buildings, streets
and highways of the county. This puts
him in the chain gang.
After the sentencing of Lawler, the
McGowan case was taken up and con
