further said that he told the attor-
neys that the goods ought to be re-
turned TO Mr. Clark and that Mr..
Belford said IL was but right that he
should return them. He said he was
transferred TO the new county jsil
the next day and there met Hussey
for the first time since his arrest.
According 10 Larson. the matter OF
the diamonds were discussed and
they agreed that they should be re-
turned but concluded to wait fnrth-
er developments. as the diamonds
might serve them to advantage in
securing better terms with the pros
eeution. He then informed the court
that he had nothing further TO say.
The court before passing sentence
stated that in cases where men are
convicted there Is clemeney asked
either on account of the family or
for some other reason and that the
courts have learned to disregard
such requests, as the good of society
must be protected. He stated that
the time which persons must serve
in the state prison is very much due
to their behavior, as the last legis-
lature passed the parole system and
the actions of all prisoners are now
taken into consideration and IL IL
is thought they will make useful
members OF society, they will be
paroled. lie said the court could
but make the maximum term a per-
son should serve and that it was up
10 the prisoner to make ii shorter
by good behavior. A sentence OF
seven years In the state prison was
then passed on Larson. There was
not a moment during the whole
proceedings in which Larson seemed
to lose his calm demeanor.
The case against Hussey. who was
implicated with Larson, was then
called. Deputy Attorney General
Coleman stated to the court that at
the time of defendants arraignment.
he made a lengthy statement to the
effect that Hussey had turned states
evidence and disclosed what he
thought were all of the facts in the
case. Mr.. Coleman said he had been
unable to find any new developments
in the case, although he had gone ir-
TO the matter with the other official.
Mr.. Coleman then submitted a wri'-
ten request that the case against
Hussey be dismissed.
The court then made statement
concerning the case and stated that
while he would discharge the de-
PENDANT, that he would be liable to
arrest and prosecution, should II be
discovered that he has not given the
names OF all who were implicated
In the robbery. Hussey was then
ordered discharges.

Larson Gets Seven Years
In State Penitenitary and
hussey Is Discharged

Yesterday morning Judge Brown
spoke the words which made c. NJ.
Hussey a free man and which will
send Gerald T.. Larson TO the
penitenitary for q term of seven
years less that which will be de-
Quoted for good behavior.
A large crowd was present in the
court room when the court ordered
Larson to stand up and receive sen
tenee. The prisoner was asked if he
had anything TO say why sentence
should not be passed and receiving
an answer in the negative, the court
asked If the attorneys in the case had
anything to say. Mr. Bedford. lead
ing attorney for Larson stated that
he had become connected with the
case il an informal way and asked
the court to extend as much clemeney
as the circumstances would permit.
The attorney went on to say that
had ont the deputy attorney general
recommended that one of the defend
ants be discharged, he would not ask
the court for lenieney. AS / under
stand it," said the attorney. Mr..
Larson has returned the jewelry and
has also told the grand jury every
thing pertaining to the robbery" Mr..
Belford informed the court that a
friend of the defendant had told him
things concerning the defendant.
which made him believe he was not
a criminal beyond hope OF redemp-
tion. He then asked the court. that
In consideration OF the fact that
Larson had returned the stolen
goods, that clemency be shown him.
Attorney Walker. representing
Clark & Lindskog, also spoke in be-
half OF the defendant and stated that
as there were no lives endangered
in committing the robbery and that
Larson had returned the diamonds
and further that Larson's family
were dependant upon him, he asked
the court TO extend clemency. Fol-
lowing the remarks of Mr.. Walker,
the court asked Larson IL he cared
to make a statement. The prisoner
then said that the remarks of Mr..
Walker had brought to his mind sew
eral things which he would like to
speak about He said he had no
compliments 10 make, but that the
officers for the prosecution had treat
er him fairly. He said from the
time he was placed under arrest he
had made up his mind to return the
jewelry and that about the Sth of
June, while he was confined In the
old county jail, he sent for Mr.. Nc
Faddaz and Mr.. Belford and told
them the whole affair and said he
did not want them to take a losing
case, as he considered things as look
ing very dubious for him. Larson

NEW YORK. June 23-All the
freaks of nature which people have
been remarking lately are due. ac-
cording to Edwin +. Naulty, TO the
new comet which he and DIR. Brook,
of Hobart College. announced to the
world three weeks ago. This be-
havior threatens to become worse

us by recession instead of detection,
