Judge Back Makes Plea.

K, please the court, after the statement of the attorney for the state, perhaps it is not necessary that 1 should take any of your honor's time, but I feel that it is my duty to say just few words.
 1 am not going to urge the respecta- , bility of my clients family, nor the help that he has given to the state, nor any of those arguments which are usu- ally put forward in similar cases. I recognize that he has committed a 9rievOuS OffenSe, and he has pleaded guilty to a grieVous offense But I think the state of Connecticut has adopted a policy of saving the young men who may be worth something to the state, and it is in that kind of a line that ] wish to address my few words to your honor.
 Your honor has observed this young man upon the stand. I think it may 1 truly be said that he is bright; his quick answers without hesitation show that. I feel that he has told the whole truth, and that to an extent, while he ! has been a serious offender, he has some manliness in him and that he has not attempted to deceive the court or jury while upon the stand. I feel that his youth renders him especially sus- ceptible to tne reformatory.
 Cain to Take Up Mechanical Work.
 His father is a man of high position
 
 mated ito me that, while he realizes that the young man could never fprac- tice law now, probably, he could take | him into the mechanical work and give him a, good career after he has served such sentence as the court might inn pose. It seems to me if he was sent to the reformatOry he might receive there instruction, not only along moral lines, but along lines that will perhaps help him for a future career, especially in this particular work which is open to him. I think this is an unusually striking case where a term in the re- fOrna tory would do the young man great deal of good, and do the state 8 great service.
 I will not take any more of your hOnors time, except. that I wish to re- peat what the attorney for the state has said, that there has been no ar ! rangement in any way as to what this young man should plead guilty to, or should not plead guilty to, nor any ar rangenent as to what his sentence should be. We leave that entirely with your honor Of course, your honor would have the last say. anyway, but we have not made any arrangement as to what we would suggest. But I do request you sentence him to the Con- necticut reformatory, because 1 believe he is especially subject to the benefits that might be given there.
 Court Addresses Cain.
 The court: Cain. stand up. There certainly is 8 great difference between your offenSes and those of MT. How arth. It seems incredible that the en- vironment to which you were subjected and the influences apparently under which you grew up, should not have outweighed those of Howarth, to which 1t seems you were subjected, and to which you yielded.
 You must appreciate, and have ap- preciated since you were confronted with the seriousness of the charges. Conscious of your guilt. you must have appreciated the enormity of the offense with which you allowed yourself to en-

might be inclined to indulge in crirn- inal instincts l hope you will live to expiate the offenses to which you nave pleaded guilty and to redeem yourself so far as it is possible.
 The sentence of the court is that you should be imprisoned in the Connecd- cut state prison upon the ninth count not less than eight years nor more than ten years. That upon the tenth count you will be imprisoned in the state prison one year. and on the thirteenth count Imprisonment in the state prison three years. l think the distinction should be made between those two counts. The thirteenth count is for burning property. appar- ently for the purpose of -defrauding an insurance company. It makes a total of not less than eight years nor more than fourteen years The sentence upon the tenth count is to take effect upon the expiration of the sentence upon the ninth count, and the sentence upon the thirteenth count is to take effect upon the expiration of the prior sentences.
