Chief Judge Urner and Judge Worth.
lngton were only a short time in reaching
a decision in the matter Judge Urner,
in speaking for the court. stated that the
two We're plainly guilty Of a most fla
grant violation of the law, and that the
sentence could be from one to ten years
IN the Denltentary. He stated that the
court could make the sentence term in
the House of Correction. He told of the
stigma which attaches to one who has

OF their act, and it was their first offense.
the court had decided to suspend SEN
tence, both on account of the Young men

stated that the act was ineXcusable, and
was most reprehensible.
Judge Urner said that he trusted that
the young men would show by their fu-
ture conduct and their future life that
they repented the act, and warned them
that II thelrli conduct was not most cir
cumspect and that if they wavered from
the straight and narrow path that they
could expect to be brought before the
court and sentenced upon this case.

Keno D Harp represented the accused.

lowing an investigation OF the fire.
Following the hearing of some OF the
testimony recently in the divorce case of
Mrs. Alberta Gill, against DR.. c. f. Gill,
the charge against Miss Marie Delauter
was Withdrawn, there being no evidence
to connect her with any improper con-
duct with DR.. Gill AS will be recalled,
following the filing of the allegations in
the divorce suit Miss Delauter came
into court and asked to be made party
defendant TO the suit, very unusual
proceeding, and a few days ago she
and her father sat 1t the trial of the
case, with Miss Delauters counsel,
former Judge John c. Motter. The out
come OF the case was most satisfactory
to Miss Delauter, and that her name
should be cleared was a source of much
qualification to her many friends.
