was arraigned Thursday morning and
plead guilty. He was sentenced to i'm
prisonment in the State prison at Thom-
aston at hard labor for not less than one
year and not more than two years. Judge
Dunn was inclined to be lenient to him
as he seems to be entirely free from any
malicious intent, but is not morally
strong enough to keep him from GRIM
inal offences. He did not seem inclined
to profit by the good treatment given
him by all connected with the Jail during
the months he was detained there for
forgery. He was taken to Thomaston
Monday by Deputy Warden Eaton.
