was sentenced TO pay a fine of $25OO, and
the other a. o. Howard, was fined $500
The wife of Riggs, fashionably dress
ed, occupied chair among the specta-
tors when court was opened and her
husband and Howard came forward to
plead guilty and throw themselves on
the mercy of the court. She leaned for
ward. her hands clenched, when the for
mai plea was entered.
When Judge Dickinson pronounced SEN
tence Mrs. Riggs sat back in her chair
and began to weep silently. She was led
away by friends. Riggs sentence Is to
begin at once. That of Howard dates
from September p. 1914, so that he has
only six months to serve.
Another member of the group who
swung one of the largest swindles of it's
kind in the history of this country will
be called for sentence this afternoon. He
is Thomas Quinlan. II is understood he
also is TO plead guilty and ask the court
for mercy.
Twenty or 30 of the men and women
swindled by Riggs, Howard and their as
sOclates were In the courtroom when sem
tence was pronounced. When the case of
Qunlan Is settled it will mark the GHd

URGES DRASTICLAW
AGAINST "GUNMEN''
Detective Captain Cameron
Says Carrying Of Concealed
Weapons is Common Here.

"Pennsylvania is too lenient with per-
sons who walk about the streets with
loaded revolvers over in New YORK
when a man is arrested for carrying con-
cealed weapons he is prosecuted under
the Sullivan law. on conviction the Oh
fender is often sentenced to seven years
In Philadelphia 1 have seen cases where
a man received a sentence of only 70 days
or a year at the most for carrying n
loaded revolver We should have new
law governing the carrying of revolVers
The shooting of two detectives last week
ought to he sufficient proof to our lcsls-
lators that we need a stricter law sald
Captain of Detecties Robert d. Cameron
The death of one detective and the
woundinR of another by Jacob Miller. Il
Young roustabout, will probably result In
bill being introduced In the present
LEGISLATURE, creating law making the
CARRYING of loaded revolvers n serious
offense Detective Captain Robert u.
Cameron today said he was in favor or
having a law passed in Pennsylvania
similar to the Sullivan law, which Is
in force in the State of New YORK.
Captain Cameron said that there are
many Young men walking the streets of
Philadelphia with revolvers in their pock-
cts defying the present law. The present
sentence on convection Tor carrying re-
volvers and other concealed weapons is
punishable by a sentence of only about
year Captain Cameron stated that many
offenders recently have received sentences
of only about 20 days in jail.
"If we had a law like tie one over in
New York believe Philadelphia would be
better off" said the captain. "A law
which would help to inflict stiff sentence
on youths whose hobby is to march
around with loaded revolvers would be
instrumental in eliminating many persons
who are of the character OF Jacob Miller
II hope the legislators of Pennsylvania
will give the recent shooting of two of my
detectives their careful attention. A bill
should be introduced and passed before
the present Legislature adjourns making
the carrying of revolvers n serious Of
fense. Instead of one-year sentences we
should have a law giving a Judge the
right to infict a sentence of at least seven
years. After the Sullivan law was en-
acted in New York arrests for carrying
loaded revovers decreased. strongly
urge that Pennsylvania should also have
a Sullivan law"
