Pensacola, Aug. 12. 2.-Sentenced
to the federal penitentiary for one
year and one day, or a total of 366
days. was the punishment drawn by
James Weston, white man, yester-
day when he appeared before Judge
Sheppard of the United tSates court,

indictment returned against him
some weeks ago for violating the
Mann law, or, in other words, being
guilty of white slavery

when he was returned to the county
jail, as he had expected that he
would draw sentence of but few
months at the longest. So disap-
pointed was he that he said to Of
ficers at the county Jail that If he
knew that sentence was going to be
placed upon him, he would not have
entered plea of guilty.
Weston will be held about a
month longer in the Escambia coun-
ty Jail. to satisfy his county SEN
tence of eight months At the ex-
pira tion of that time he will be TAX
en- to Atlanta, where he will start on
the federal sentence.
