Leakey Gets 35
Years Sentence

Max M. Leakey drew a SEN
tence of IS years at hard labor in
the penitentiary from Judge San
ner this week, as a result of his
conviction on a murder charge by
the jury in the case. Second de-
gree was the verdict arrived ar
rived at, and Leakey drew the
long term as above stated.
The plea of the defense was
based principally upon insanity.
Several doctors were called in to
give their testimony, but not all
agreed on the insanity point by
all means. Those called were
Drs. Andrus and Brown of Miles
City and Hammered Of Glendive.
At the conclusion Of their testi-
mony, the state called DR.. Bolton
Of the insane asylum at Warm
Springs, who had been here un-
noticed, listening to the former
testimony in the case. He ex-
pressed the opinion that Leakey
was not and had not been insane
rt any time.
Evidently the jury was not in
fluenced to great degree by this
testimony. They rendered the
second degree verdict, and left
the sentence to be fixee by Judge
Sanner.
At the conclusion of the Leakey
case, Murphy, the socalled in
sane" man was put on trial on
the charge Of assault on Jailer
Brigham. He was found gully
and received a sentence of five
year at hard labor in the state
penitentiary.
