Judge C0Ieman's statement 20 the
defendant follows
Mr.. Baldwin. you have been con-
Fieted By a jury Of twelve men On the
charge OF stealing eight horses from
John Magnuson. Your attorney
waived in open court. the right 10
dle a motion FOR a new trial. The
jury which rendered the verdict Of
conviction recommended hat the
court extend IenieucY 70 yoa. After
ron were convicted. and While await
ing she time SCI for passing sentence
upon You. ron broke jail. NotEith-
standing the fact that you are a
terminal ron have sympsthIzers,
from some OF whom come such ex-
gressions as Poor Peggy, Peggy
Is the Fall Guy Peggy got nothing

such expressions evidently think
that. instead Of being punished. you
should b voted a gold medal and a
purse They never think to say;
Poor Magnuson.
a crime Is a crime. and the fact
that you gof nothing out Of it Is not
your fault. You did ali in your
pOEer TO realize Unlawful gain. al
the expense OF another. vas your
aim. People Eho indulge In such
expressions Of sympathy have an
erroneous conception OF good citizen
ship. You have committed three
crimes in White Pine county within
six months. namely. The larceny OF
a horse from one, Bower, commonly
called Water Jack; eight horses from
Magnuson, and the breaking OF Jail.
For these crimes you might be sen
fenced to the penitentiary for thirty
eight Fears. In addition 70 this. I
am informed that you have served a
term in the Oregon ~penitentIary. In
addition to these it appears that you
have been preparing TO make an
other effort 20 break Jail today.
In view OF your record. and par
ticuIarly Of your breaking jail while
awaiting sentence and your conduct
today. the question IS. what con-
sideratIon should the court give 10
