Motion for New Trinl Dcnied-Jury'S
Recommendation for Mercy
Taken Into Consideration.

New York, Jan. l0-Four former
employees of the American Sugar Re-
fning company, convicted of under
weighing frauds. were sentenced to one
years imprisonment each by Judge
Martin in the United States circuit
court here today The men sentenced are
Charles Keohoe, Edward A. Boyle,

The four were checkers on the docks
of the sugar company in Williamsburg.
where ii was discovered the scales
used to weigh sugar imports had been
tampered with AS result the Amer
ican Sugar Refining company reim-
bursed the government to the extent
of more than s2.000,000 for evaded du-
ties and employees of the company were
indicted for conspiracy.

one of the defendants,
Splitter collapsed in court on Satur-
day, when q motion for a new trial
for the men was argued and it was
found that he would have to undergo
a slight operation for an internal dis
order. For this reason Judge Martin
today did not pronounce sentence on
him but remanded him until Feb 1.
Before sentencing the men the court
denied O motion for new trial. He
took into consideration, however, the
jury's recommendation for mercy and
said he would impose on each of the
four men a sentence OF one year in the
Blackwell's Island penltentiary.
In sentencing the checkers Judge
Martin intimated that he might havo
shown greater leniency If the men
had appealed to the court "for mercy
and in a spirit OF penitence."
However" said the court, such is
not their position. They challenge the
verdict they deny their guilt They
take the position that what they did
was done voluntarily without orders
from higher oflccrs-not that I be-
lleve that Is the fact but that Is their
position before the court Their present
attitude compels me to sentence them
as cvil-doers from evil motives"
Judge Martin denied a motion for a
stay and the men must at once begin
serving their terms.
