George Lewis, convicted of having
had criminal relations with young
Edna Winters, was next ordered to
stand up. Lewis attorney, Mr.. Fry,
urged the court to be lenient. When
asked If he had anything to say Lewis
proceeded to relate his lifes history
at considerable length. He has had
a checkered career and as nearly all
men who have gotten into trouble, he
did not intend to do SO. He has serv-
ed number of years in the United
States army. He spent 22 months in
the Philippines.
In sentencing Lewis Judge Shackle-
ford declared that 1t was one of the
worst offenses. that of which he had
been convicted. He declared that If
he (the judge) believed the girl had
been virtuous girl up to the time
she met Lewis he would, without
hesitation, sentence Lewis for life
Imprisonment, as he had the right to
do but as the testimony clearly show
ed that the girl was not virtuous ut
the time Lewis began to have rela-
tions with her and in view of the
temptations that come to men under
such circumstances, he would not give
Lewis very long sentence. He then
sentenced him to from to years
in the penitentiary.
Attorney Fry then gave notice of
an appeal. asking for 80 days in
which to file a bill of exceptions.

tiary as no stay of sentence was

told the court, frankly, that once be-

although not serious offense, that

He could hardly explain why he had
committed forgery. Judge Shackle-
ford administered a severe lecture
and then sentenced the young man to
not less than years or more than 5
years In the penitentiary.

and sorrow that overcame him pre-
vented him from lifting his eyes from
i the floor He answered the court s
questions in monosylables. He told
the court that he was 22 years of
age, that he had young wife and
baby, having been married two years.
Judge Shacsleford declared that
the case was most pitable one. pita-

the worthiness of his aged mother
and of his young wife. He declared
that he could not understand how a
young man, of more than ordinary
intelligence as Alderman appeared to
be, could sacrifice his mother and his
other loved ones in such manner.
He asked Acl1erman if he had any
thing to say. Ackerman replied,
Judge, If any one had drunk as
much whisky as l have during the
past few months he would do almost
anything. That is the only excuse ]

PORT ARTHUR Is NOT
TO BE USED FOR FORT

WASHINGTON, January 14.-Notice
Of the intention Of the japanese gov
eminent to open Port Arthur to the
commerce of the world is Indicated in
Toxic dispatches to the japanese en-
hassv about two months ago, but it
was said the issuing of the order would
be withheld until the government was
able to fix the exact date for the open
ing.
The purpose is not to make Port Ar
thur free port in the sense of Ham
burg, where goods may enter free of
duty and be placed in bond, but simply
to put it on the footing of New York
or any other commercial city.
Port Arthur, instead of Dalny, was
selected as the entry port of Southern
lianchuria because its harbor is always
open. The significant point of this is
the fact that it marks the determina-
ton of the japanese government to
abandon Port Arthur as a great sea
coast fortress, for it is stated that
never again will an attempt be made to
render the port impregnable as a naval
Hase.
The department has received no off
laI information on the subject, but for
some months the japanese press has
indicated that the government was Sc
rloUsly considering the step.
