CHANGE PLEA IN
MIDST Of TRIAL
LA SAILE THUGS THROW SELVES
UPON MERCiES OF COURT IN
PREFERENCE TO TAKING
CHANCES WITH JURY.

Affairs IN the states prosecution vt
Cyril SrriBgs and 'James King, La
Sale highwaymen, in the Circuit
court, took a sudden change late yes
terday afternoon at the conclusion
OF the prosecution of the two defend
ANTS. From Defending themselves
against William j. Conway's charge
ol robbing them, the two men suddei-
~ decided to enter a plea OF guilty
and throw themselves upon the mer-
cies of the court.
The trail had proceeded to the point
where the defense was about to pre-
sent its case when the switch from a
not guilty to 2 guilt plea was
made, The Jurors were in. possession
of all the prosecutions evidence, and
it must have been pretty incrininat-
ing, considering that Spriggs and
King were not only willing, but anX-
ous to flop from pretended innocence
to an admission Of guilt, Just when
they were abou. to present their side
of the case.
The state in accepting plea OF
guilty permitted the defense to reduce
the charge from robbery to larceny
and in passing sentence upon them
the court took into consideration the
part each of the two men played IN
the attack on Conway. After weigh
ing these matters carefully King, the
larger of the two culprits, was given
eight months in the county Jail and
Spriggs was remanded with only three
months servitude ahead Of him.
Conway, while on the stand, told OF
his being robbed of $40 by the defend
ants. Two indictments were returned
against them, one for robbery and the
other for larceny The offense was
committed in a La Sale rooming
house, willie Conway was under ia e
influence Of liquor The money was
! extracted from his pockets as he lay
doing The robbery occurred Octo
her 25 Indictment No. will be nolle

an excellent chance of accomplishing
this purpose if Swain brothers, who
propose to establish an excursion line

given the cooperation of the people
of tic city Swain will be here Thurs
day to confer with the board of d.
rectors OF the Chamber Of Commerce
relative to establishing boat serv-
ice between Ottawa and the historic
park. The plans OF the SWANS were
laid before the Rotary Club last tall
and were looked upon favorably.
Since that time the Chamber of Com
merce has been formed and now 1t
will assume charge of the work.
Captain Swain and his sons pro
posed to build. an excursion boat with
n capacity for six or seven hundred
people The craft, it is said would
not draw more than two feet of
water, thus il would be able to travel
the Illinois at all times. 1t is the
intention Of the SWANS to establish
landing at the rear of the Clifton
hotel where cxcursionists from chi.
cago and other eastern points might
complete the last leg of their trip
down the scenic. river and view the
various points OF historic interest.
Tho boat will be equipped with
what is known MS telcscope smoke
stacks, thus miiES'iig It possible rof
them to be lowered when tho boat is
passing under the bridges in Ottawa
The trip down stream, IT is said
could be made in about forty minutes
or less. On excursion trips, where
parties nave chartered the boat. stops

On the regular runs Of the boat tho
only stop would be made at the state
park

With the establishing of the excur
sion line il would be incentive fol
tourists 10 stop at Ottawa and make
the river trip to the park. This would
cause thousands. Of tourists to visit
Ottawa during the summer months
and would give the city much adver
tisinC.
There iG no question but what tho
excursion limo would be a good thlnf
for Ottawa and the Chamber of Com
merce will give the matter its earn

Several years ago before the stat
