STOLE A DIME;
 GETS 90 YEARS
Then Forced the Little Girl to Buy it Back With kiss-May
 Recall Judge.

LOS ANGELES, March 4.-Char les Guyton was sentenced today 10 serve 30 years in San Quentin because he stole ten cents from little girl ard then forced her to give him kiss before he would return the dime. When Guyton returned the dime to the girl after receiving the kiss he told her that it was well worth the L.oney.
 The long sentence has caused con- siderable comment here and many are talking of recalling judge who would impose life sentence upon man who secured kiss from a child or who stole a dime and it is for the latter crime Guyton is convicted. The practice of giving long sentences to men who commit insignificant crimes and light sentences for bankers and big crooks and heavy ones for lit tie crooks does not particularly ap- peal to the people.
