THIRTY YEARS IN
STATE PRISON FOR
MURDER CONVICT
Todd Unmoyed at Sentence.
Ten Years, Penalty Pro-
nounced for Wahle.

Charles w. Todd. who on January IL
last shot and killed Mrs. Meta Frances
Behrens, also known as Mrs. Frai.ces
Stafford, ct tho clearinghouse kept
by the woman. at 503-505 Washington
street, was today sentenced to serve
thirty years at hard labor In the New
Jersey State Prison, at Trenton, by
Judge Jay Ten Eyck, in Part l. Grim
inal Court.
At the same time William Wahie.
who on February % married Miss Eth'l
". Harvey, Of Belleville, when he had
a wife and two sons living In Brook
lyn, was sentenced to ten years at
Trenton. Both men stood mute as
sentence was pronounced, but Wahle's
actions showed distinctly that he had
rSceiy ed the surprise of his life.
Todd N~onchnIant.
Todd displayed the same nonchalant
manner he did during the trial when
he was called to the ba for sentence.
He was calm, aud after a hurried
glance around the courtroom looked
straight at Judge Ten Eyck.
Louis ]. Beers. who appeared for
Todd, said he had nothing to say why
sentence should not be imposed.
Judge Ten Eyck then said: You have
been found guilty of killing a woman
with whom you boarded and of whom
you were Jealous. The jury evidently
believed your act vas not premeditated,
SO found you guilty of murder in the
second degree. l think you deserve the
limit sentence and order that you be
confined In States prison for thirty
years al hard labor"
Wahle's case was a good example OF
Jersey justice. Wah.e was arrested
last Wednesday night on complaint of
the Brooklyn police that he had forged
checks in that borough. 1t was also
known that he had a wife in Brooklyn.
as well as his bride of two weeks in
Belleville.
Jersey Justice.
On Thursday Wahle pleaded guilty to
a charge of forgery. and was remanded
to jail to await extradition to New
York State. Monday a complaint charg-
ing him with bigamy was sworn out
by Miss Harvey, and he at once
pleaded guilty to that charge.
DR.. H. B. Vail, brother-in-law of
Miss Harvey. was In court hen Wahle
was called to the bar for sentence. One
look of scorn was all he gave Wahle as
the latter came to the bar. while when
the ten-year sentence was imposed >
broad smile of satisfaction spread over
his face.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Ten
aEyck said: "Wahle. your case Is an ag-
gravated one. Knowing o had a
wife and children In Brooklyn, you
married this lady, apparently because
she had some money. which you desired
to get possession of. Your case Is an
extreme one, and you deserve no pity
No reference to the Brooklyn forgery
| charges was made by Judge Ten Eyck.
