FIFTEEN YEARS
FOR BOY SLAYER
Monte Guess Sentenced
On Plea Of Guilty.
FORMERLY LIVED F0ROSv|LlE
Recommendation Influenced By
The Tender Years
Of Defendant.

Fifteen years in the penitentiary
was the punishment fixed for Monte
Guess by jury in the Criminal
Court yesterday afternoon upon his
plea of guilty to manslaughter. He
was indicted on a charge of willful
murder for the killing of Robert c.
Ormes, supervisor at the Louis
vile Industrial School of Reform
July rs, a full account of which was
published in The Herald of August
I'd.
The plea came as something of a
surprise after the greater part of the
day had been consumed in selecting
the jury. When the last juror had
been accepted Commonwealth At
torney Joseph M. Huffaker asked
that the jury be sworn and then an
nounced that an agreement had
been reached with counsel for the
defense whereby Guess would plead
guilty to manslaughter and that he
would recommend a term of fifteen
years.
He said he had been Influenced to
make the recommendation by reason
OF the youth OF the defendant, who
is 10 years old, and by the fact that
it was concurred in by the Board of
Directors of the School of Reform
and members of Ormes' family. In
sentencing the boy Judge Harry w.
Robinson told him he would much
prefer to exercise the clemency re-
posed in him by the statute and
send him to the School of Reform at
Greendale, but that under all the
circumstances he felt he could not
conscientiously do so.
Guess, who had been left behind
with ten others as a punishment,
when all the boys but these had been
taken for n outing from the School
of Reform, attacked Ormes with an
iron weight while the supervisor
was asleep, and crushed his skull.
He then appropriated his victims
clothing and keys and escaped, the
other boys refusing to accompany
him. He was caught next morning
on the Eighteenth-street road and
at an examining trial in the Juvenile
Court was held to await the action
of the grand jury.
When the case was first called in
the Criminal Court the defense ask
ed for an inquiry as to his sanity.
Curing the inquest he admitted the
assault and declared he meant to
get even with Ormes who had struck
him with sticks and paddles and had
to beat the life out of
him." Physicians appointed by the
Court to examine him and
officers who had had charge of him
testified that he is naturally vicious
and of criminal tendencies, but that
they had found no cause to doubt
his sanity. The jury declared him
to be of sound mind.

Tobacco Demanding Good Price.

The Bowling Green Messenger
says:
Reviewing the tobacco market, il
shows that the tobacco sold on
Thursday, the opening day of the
1916 season, brought higher prices
than it has for twenty years. The
average here was $3.50. The mar
ket is expected to hold fully as
strong during the remainder of the
season. This will bring more money
to Warren county for tobacco than
at any other time for twenty years.
Lon Bailey delivered one of the
incest crops that has been brought
to the loose leaf warehouses in
many years. The average price was
s9.45 per one hundred pounds. Mr..

President Fears Effect of

1T MAY HURT
BRANDEIS' STANDING
Senatorial Courtesy Gusts
TWo-Year Incum-
bent

Washington, May l7.--President vii
son was determined yesterday that the
nomination of Federal Trade Commits
sioner Rublee should be confirmed by the
Senate despite Mondays setback. Sen
ator Hollis, the administrators leader
in this fight, announced he would press
his vote for reconsideration of the ca Sc
at once.
| When Senator Cummins, who, it is
said, would have voted with other pro-
gressiye Republicans for confirmation, re-
turns from Oregon and when a half doz-
en- absentee Democrats have been sum
moned TO Washington, a new vote will
be sought.
The administration seeks the indorse
ment of Mr.. Rublee almost as much for
its effect on the pending Brsndeis APP
pointment as for the sake of the appoin.
tee, it is generally believed. Many of
the Democrats who made possible Mr..
Rublee's defeat Monday are known TO
hope privately for the defeat of Mr..
Brandeis, and leaders favoring the latter
appointment are concerned about the pre-
cedent which an administration defeat in
the Rublee case may establish
Since Mondays vote. too, was one OF
the few times a national office has been
made the subject of senatorial cour-
tesy," it was pointed out that opponents
of Mr.. Brandeis, as last resort might
encompass his defeat by persuading eth
err Senator Weeks or Senator Lodge. from
Mr.. Brandeis' state, to urge his defeat
because he is personally obnoxious" to
them. It was this plea which enabled
Senator Gallinger to win his long fight.
IT the rejection stands, ii is a ques |
ton whether Mr.. Rublee will draw his
salary for the time he has served under
recess appointment, Republicans having
questioned the legality of his second re
cess appointment.
Senator Gallinger's success in defeating
the confirmation Monday leads to re-
newed hope among the opponents of
Louis d. Brandeis that they can keep him
off the supreme court bench.
The defeat of Mr.. Rubee was victory
for senatorial courtesy and left handed
slap at President Wilson. No one doubts
that Senator Gsllinger was actuated by
personal feeling when he began his fight
on the nomination, or that confirmation
would have been made had Mr.. Rublee
not fought the senator in the Republican
Darty in New Hampshire.
The vote was AZ to 80. This seems to
,e about the same lineup which will con
ront any attempt to affirm the Brandeis
The nomination of Mr.. Rublee was sent
n almost two years ago, but the Senate
diourned the first year without confirm
ng it and the president conferred a re-
ess appointment on Mr.. Rublee.
