GETS SENTENCE
Madison Democrat.

Failing to live up to the probation
rules Roy AllenIof Baraboo yesterday
was delivered by Judge Stevens of the
circuit court by Ralph Smith, precsi-
dent of the state board of control, for
sentence. The court sent him to the
state reformatory for five years.
In his plee to the court Mr.. Smith re-
alls that Allen hal been given every
opportunity to reform when ne was
placed on probation Oct. 18th last, after
he had pleaded guilty to highway rob-
berry. However, according to Mr..
Smith, Allen has violated every law of
decency. The young man has been in
the habit of travelling with a circus,
working for only So week. Mr..
Smith said that he has drunk liquor
since he was Is years old and that he
ontinued to indulge strongly after ne
had been placed on probation. He has
been working on farm in the south
ern part of the state.
When Allen was turned over to the
court Judge Stevens asked him If he
wanted an attorney but he replied that
he did not. Just before pronouncing
sentence the court repeated the ques~
ton but Allen again said that he did
not care for an attorney. Asked if he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed Allen replied:
1.-THE only thing have to sayis that
you make the sentence as light as pos.
sible. -
After Allen had been sentenced Mr..
Smith advised him to obey the reform
atory rules and work in harmony with.
the officials of the institution as
otherwise he could not expect parole.
Allen committed the crime after his
return to Baraboo with circus last
fall. He and a companion hired rig,
drank considerable liquor and then held
IN man and robbed him of SIG. Allen
was arrested but his colleague escaped
Allen will be taken to Green Bay by
Sheriff William Welk of Sank county.
