His Youth Saves Him from
Long Sentence.

Judge Cooper yesterday morning. lie
pleaded guilty to burglary in the FIRST
degree and was sentenced to term of

count the defendant's previous good
record, and his youth.

ing stolen about $4,000 worth of jew
elry, the property of Miss Anderson,

rested on Maui.

prosecute, and it was on his recommen
dation that the minimum sentence of
three years was set. He stated that the
defendant was only boy. He had
been playing cards and had lost money.
The other players were after the de-
PENDANT for payment. AS means of
repaying the money, the boy was
tempted to steal. He saw the tourist
leaving the hotel. and went in to steal
any money that might have been left.
Seeing the bags of iewelry he took
them, but the question of their value
did not weigh with him Mt all. Defend
ant had told the whole story to the at
torney and seemed very sorry for what
he had been led into
-z-sJrdge Cooper weighed the whole mat
I ter up in setting a sentence. While it'll
was theft pure and simple, the grav-
.ity of the offense from the value stand
point did not appeal to the boy. On
1.-the accommodation of the city attor-
.Rey, Judge Cooper fixed the penalty at
mt less than three years and not more
8han twenty.
