Slaughter's Sentence
Is Years In Prison

Oroville, Cal, May 16.-Rev. Madi-
son Slaughter of Chico, was today SEN.
fenced to Is years in San Quentin for
an assault on Gertrude Lamson, aged
Is. He will appeal for a new trial.
Judge Gregory, who presided at both
of the minister s trials, imposed SEN
tence. The room was crowded. Much
surprise was manifested, as it had not
been supposed that the pastor would re-
eeive so severe punishment.
Slaughter and his attorneys will fight
hard for third trial. Meanwhile the
pastor will remain in the county Jail,
his efforts to get freedom on bail hav-
ing failed.
Slaughter faced his sentence stohdly.
The only sound in the room besides that
of the judges voice was the sobbing
of Mrs. Ivy Camper, defense witness
and friend Of the Slaughter family.
W. H. Schooler for the defense made
a long speech on appeal for new
trial.
At noon Judge Gregory denied the
motion of Sehooler for a new trial and
overruled writ of probable cause for
appeal. The case will be taken immedi-
ately to the appellate court, however.
The other four indictments against
Slaughter were dismissed on motion of
District Attorney Raymond Leonard.
