is YOUNG
BUT AN OLD
CRIMINAL
BOY ARRESTED FOR PICKING
POCKETS is WANTED IN OHIO
FOR BURGLARY AND WILL BE
HELD PENDING THE ARRIVAL
OF AN OFFICER FROM THAT
STATE.

Sheriff Minto was notified last
night that Alfred Berry. the 15-year-
old boy arrested by the officers here
on the charge of picking pockets, is
wanted at Akron. Ohio. for burglary,
and is asked to hold him until an Of
ficer can be dispatched for him.
This request comes from the sheriff
Of that place. and It, together with the
further fact that the officers have un-
earthed about $500 worth of loot
stolen by Berry, indicates that, though
but a boy, he is one of the most clev-
er Of criminals.
Sheriff Minto has also been in
formed that on his way out to Port
land from Chicago he filched consid-
cradle money and iewelry from pas
sengers. He is exceptionally clever
in his work. and this. together with
his innocent and boyish appearance,
has made him far more successful
than the average crook.

MURANE GIVES COOPER LIFE.

l At two minutes before the tim. set for his sentencing. John Cooper was brought into the court room Not a sign of fear or nervousness was visible in his actions or in his face. He gazed interestedly at the fairly large audience which had gathered to hear the man found guilty of the murder of William Nimbish given a sentence that would deprive him of his liberty for the rest of his natural life. At 10 to the dot. Judge Murane entered the room and took his seat on the bench. Al an order from the court the defend. ant arose. Have you anything to say before sentence is passed up- on you." asked the court
 No, sir, not anything" answered the defendant in clear voice.
 John Cooper. the jury has found you guilty of a very serious crime. and the court has no hesitancy ill believing their verdict is right. There is very little that can say to you that will help you. It is the right of American citizens to pro teet themselves from men like you. You probably will spend the rest of your life in the federal penitentiary on McNcil's Island. in the state of Washington. and will be held in the custody of the United States marshal until such time as you are taken Outside to commence your sentence. You may sit down"
 Without murmur. calmly. quietly and apparently unconccrned John Cooper heard the words. After a word with his lawyer. the negro was taken from the court room to his cell in the federal jail.
 Judge Murane had at ? o'clock the preceding afternoon denied the mo tion of the attorneys for the defend ant for a new trial. Both Mir. Roth and Judge Adams argued strenuous ly for another chance to prove their client innocent of the charge. but without avail. The failure of the government to prove the Corpus Deficit" the failure of the judge to follow the request of the attorneys for the defendant in his instructions to the jury on the passing oEo AN in ference on an inference, and the denial of the court to allow the per emptory challenge of Juror Haggerty by the attorneys for the defense were argued as being sufficient grounds for new trial. The state ment by the district attorney regard ant, and the comparison of this case to the we'll known Perovich case. was also made strong points in the arguments of both Mr Adams and MT, Roth. The motion having been denied. the attorneys for John Coop CT gave notice of an appeal. The de fendant must take oath that it will be necessary for the government to furnish him bill of exceptions of the ease in order that he may make the appeal. A time will be set for this. It will probably be delayed, 's Iud"e Muranc will leave for Nome before the transcription can be made by the reporter, and he will have 10 sign the papers which will be sent to him at Nome
