~ and Elder George L. Jewell drove
out of the grounds to make train con-

| The interest Of the public again wa;
demonstrated by the crowding of the
J court room by more than 800 men and
! women. Every available seat was taken
more than half an hour before court was
convened and scores were standing in the
aisles. All were anxious to hear the YER
| diet and see the man who is now held in
restraint after SO many years of religious
| liberty.
Interest had been heightened by
reports that federal investigators had

10 watch Sanford and make a report
on his mental condition, and that he
might be sent by the court to some in

reaches the federal penitentiary at At
lanta. Then. If his acts warrant, ii
| is possible that he may be placed for
a time in the federal insane hospital at
Washington.
Plans were being perfected this
forenoon, for taking him to Atlanta
as soon as possible. The maximum
sentence that might have been given
was ten years Imprisonment or $4,000
| fine. or both. on each count.
Later when Sanford was found
alone with four OF his followers aud
federal official in the baliff's room, he
admitted that the sentence was about
what he had expected and that he had
received intimation from God, this
morning, Of what 10 expect
He did not understand the continu-
ing of the other five counts and until
liz was explained he supposed further
sentence would be given him later
When he found for a certainty that he
would not be obliged to serve longer
than ten years for the offences of which
he had been convicted he plainly
showed his qualification at the leniency
with which he had been treated.
He was greatly impressed with the
farewell meeting at Shiloh. yesterday,
when he preached continually for near
~ ten hours, and expressed his belief
that the spirit of God was manifested
in the attention given by the eongrega-
ton as never before.
The Shiloh colony will continue as
in the past. the only difference being
in the leadership, which passes to Rev.
Charles e. Holland who is at the head
OF the movement in North America, ac-
eording TO Mr.. SANFORD.
II is possible that Sanford may
return to his people IN seven and u
half years through the time allowance
for good behavior In the federal pris-
on 10 days are allowed for each month
during which the penitentiary regula-
lions are not broken. If he takes full
advantage of this opportunity. he will
have saved 900 days, or two and half
years. in seven and half year of SER
vice and may be given his liberty at
that time.
