HORSETHIEF SOBS
 AFTER BEING SENTENCED
(From Wednesdav's Dailx.I


 Sobbing like a baby, Jose Castro, the 21-year-old self-confessed horse thief, yesterday was returned to the county jail after being sentenced for term of not less than one and net more than ten years in the peniten- tiary at Florence. Castro was brought into court about o'clock in custody Of deputy sheriff and changed his plea of not guilty to one of guilty.
 Castro said that he was born in Mexico and came to this country in 1910 from Guaymas. He declared that he had never stole horse before and that he did not do it this time. his claim being that he had taken the horse by mistake Castro stole a horse belonging to Miss Mamie May CT, of Mayer, and was not caught un- til two weeks later, when he came into Prescott after going as far north as Flagstaff. He exchanged the first animal he stole for another at Oak creek and then tried to sell the last one in this city. He was captured by Under Sheriff Marks. Castro's claim is that he had intended to take a horse from man in Mayer for spite and that he got Miss Mayors steed in this mans stable, thinking that the horse belonged to his enemy.
 You may do as you please, I seem to be up against it," were Gas tro's words to Judge Smith just be- fore he was sentenced.

Perhaps, Nathan will return when the

houses, and sew, and wash
How infinitely despicable snob is when
he puts himself, unconsciously, upon public
exhibition!
Slaton has apparently saturated his poor
mind and soul with the idea that any man
who works with his hands, holds the plow-
handles, YIELDS the trowel and the ham
mer, and earns bread by manual labor, is a
part of the scum and the ritf-ratf, and is not
to be classed with what Slaton snobbishly
calls 'the best people"
It does not seem to have entered his
brain, that there are tens of thousands of
honest men in Georgia who make their
bread ploughing, that would scornfully
reject the companionship of the dissolute,
indolent, and immoral men whom Slaton
runs with, and considers to be "the best
people"
AS to his insolent sheer at the Georgia
women who keep boarding houses who earn
food with their needles, and who bend their
backs at the wash tub, no words in the lexi-
con could fully express my contempt.
That such an insult to honest work
women comes from an upstart whose own
ancestors were not ashamed to do the same
Work-as yours and mine were not ashamed
of it-only emphasizes the moral decatIence
of a man who marries into the realm of the
newly rich and mistakes the glamor Of
money for the reality of good breeding.
Not only does the Strauss family threaten
to run me out of the State of Georgia, but
Alexander Brin of Boston, Massachusetts,,
publishes similar menaces.
Brin belongs to the Hessian Regiments,
that have been slandering us, and creating
public sentiment for the Man of Sodom.
In a Boston paper, Brin quotes Slaton as
saying:
81 did not pardon Leo NJ Frank, because he
did not ask for it, He did ask for communication
of his sentence. 1t is never the custom to grant
more than is asked. If Frank lad asked for
pardon I would have considered it very
riousy."
Brin comments as follows:
This is a remarkable and significant statement
from of the ablest legal minds of the South
who, after making careful Investigation of the
records and evidence of the case averted
monstrous injustice, the taking of an innocent
