Not until they had had the case I'M
der discussion for most of the after
noon did the jury in the criminal SUI
perfor court here on Friday return a
verdict Of guilty against Aleck Lacocly
of Montville, who was accused of max
ing an indecent assault upon five-year-
old Vera Siegal at b farm in Montville
on July 10th last.
After receiving the case at 1.31 D.
m, following the charge by Judge Will
liam H. Williams, the jury had the
case until 3.45, when they returned
the verdict mentioned. State Attorney
Hull at once moved for sentence and
Attorney Roderick M. Douglass made
a plea for leniency for the guilty man.
/ He called attention TO the length of
time that it had taken the jury to
agree upon a verdict and said that
probably indicated something. and as
there had been no actual physical in
jury done the child, he hoped the court
could consistently refrain from send
ing the man to states prison. which
was a possibility under the offense
charged.
| Attorney Douglass also said that at
| times he had tried to induce Lacoslxy
| to plead guilty and not go on with
! the trial, but the man had steadfastly
refused and had protested that he was
innocent of what had been charged
againsM
State Attorney Hull spoke of La
cosky's connection with chicken
stealing case in which Lacoslxy had
turned states evidence so that at that
/ time a nolle had been entered against
him and said that in the chicken steal
| ing case it would have been hard to
convict without Lacosky's evidence
In pronouncing the sentence which
be made one year in jail, Judge WI
| liams said that there seemed to be no
| doubt on the evidence that the verdict
| given by the jury had been a just one
and it seemed improbable that a child
so young could have told such a story
as she did without it being substan-
| TALLY true. The little girl was sc
young that it seemed unlikely that
what had happened should seriously
| affect her life, yet it was necessary
| that the prisoner should be impressed
/ with the seriousness of the offense thai
he had committed. In view of the fact
also that there had been no physical
/ injury he would not make the sentence
state prison one.
Bisannist Sent to Jail.
