ina Quarrel Over Crap Game.


Sioux CITY, Nov. John Newman
was sentenced to fifteen years in the
Fort Madison penitentiary by Judge
W. c. Sears Saturday for the murder
of Arnes Swensky, of Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich. under the Fourth street VIA
duct Aug. 5. The fatal shooting toll
lowed a quarrel over crap game
Before pronouncing sentence, Judge
Sears overruled the motion of New
mans counsel for new trial. the
court asserted that he believed that
the convicted man had been given
fair trial. Newman was convicted OF
murder in the second degree by dis
trict court jury week ago.
Newman protested his innocence
when asked by the court whether ne
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced.
1t is pretty tough that man must
have TO serve fifteen years in prison
for a crime he did not commit New
man told the court. He asked the judge
TO issue an order that he be committed
TO prison Immediately so that he could
begin serving his sentence. The court
assured the convicted man that ne
would see that his wishes We're carried
out.
Thomas O'Dea, council Tor Newman
pleaded for ciemency, pointing out that
his client was only % years old, and
that he did not believe he should be
committed TO a long prison term. his
plea knocked off five years of the SEN
tence the court had decided upon.
Il had planned to give Newman
twenty years, the court declared, put
the sentence now is that he must serve
.fteen years After studying the evil
dence in the case l am convinced that
the murder was committed without
much provocation. and the seriousness
of the crime is such that longer SEN
tence than the minimum under the
law. ten years. should be inflicted.
You are a young man." the court
declared" addressing Newman. and
you now have an opportunity to re-
form and make a man of yourself.
