Companion Sentenced to
States Prison.

Two young men. one nineteen, The
other twenty. We're sentenced to long
terms in State prison by Judge Will
lam 2. Martin i'm the Court Of Conn
mon Pleas yesterday afternoon. Will
lam Douglas, negro, the younger
of the two, had pleaded guilty te
atrocious assault and battery and an
other more serious charge. The other
youth, Louis Feingold, alias Andrews
and Hall, confessed to more than Il
score of burglaries in Newark and
other cities.
Douglass crime was very seri-
Gus one. the court said His victim,
Christian Baker, twelve years old,
of 1872 Belmont avenue, was confined
to the City Hospital for several
weeks with a slash in his throat in
flicted by Douglas with a penknife.
The court declared that the indict-
ment should have been assault and
battery, with intent to kill.

tive Corbitt, of headquarters, on
July 80 81 his furnished room. 90 New
street He was wanted by the Troy
police, but an investigation revealed
that he had been committing many
robberies here, and the charge against
him resulted. At first he refused to
tell bis real name, saying his people
were respectable and would be
shamed by his arrest Later he said
he lived in Dayton, o., which was
verified.
Dougles's term in prison is to run
not less than four years ana two
years Feingold will have to spend
at least three years and six months
in Trenton. The maximum in his
case will be seven years.
Sentence on Salvador Loponio, who
was found guilty of murder in the
second degree in connection with the
killing of Patrolman John J. Nc
Govern, was deferred because the
court had not reached any decision
on the accused's application for a
new trial. The application was
based on the ground that the verdict
OF second degree was contrary to the
evidence Judge Martin has had the
appica ton under consideration for
some time and will announce his
decision i'm about two weeks.
BY a coincidence, on the same SEN
teDce list with Loponio yesterday was

last week to a charge of man
ylaughter, was sentenced to nine
months in the penitentiary. He was
held for causing the death of Adolph
Obreiter in a drunken brawl in q
Springfield avenue saloon. An in
yestigation showed that Obreiters
physical condition was mainly re-
sponsible for his demise and that the
blow from Reed FASTENED it.

tent to kill, Antonio Izzulino was
sentenced to fifteen months in the
Caldwell penitentiary. He shot at a
