DARDEN WRONGED
BY SENTENCE, HE
INFORMS J URIST
Clever Defendant Goes to
Prison and Is Disfranchised
by Court.

William Darden, colored, % years
old, startled the St Joseph superior
court wednesday morning when he
pronounced his conviction to charge
of burglary as a miscarriage of jus
tice.
I am innocent Of the crime, it IS
an error of justice. but I must suf-
] fer" said Darden.
Judge Chester r. Montgomery
sentenced the defendant to serve
from two to IA years in the Indiana
state reformatory at Jacksonville
and disfranchised him for four years.
He was found guilty by jury late
Tuesday afternoon in court.
Reviews Evidence.
Darden's statement came at that
crucial time in the career of every
defendant found guilty Of a crime.
Judge Montgomery had just asked
him If he had any reason why the
/ sentence of the court should not be
! pronounced.
Darden standing in the open court
reviewed briefly the evidence which
had been presented against him. The
state. through officers of the law.
testified that he had lifted up an
iron grating. broken into the army
store near the Grand Trunk station,
which was latched and had been
nailed
Il do not see how anyone could
have broken into that store. b." Darden
declared. An iron grating rein
forced by concrete with a door
, clamped down with four nails GER
tainly would have defied the stoUtest
efforts Of any one operating without
tools"
Held Without Charge.
Darden testified that he had
dropped down in the coal hole to get
away from officers who were watch
ing the Grand Trunk trains. He was
preparing, he told the court, to steal
ride out of the city and was in
hiding TO escape the vigilance Of the
railroad detectives.
Darden was the aCcomplice Of
Eugene Brown, also colOred who is
waiting trial on the same charge.
Il was kept in jail four months
waiting for charges to be filed
against me. waited two months
longer for a trial I am convicted or
something 1 did not do. and 1 must
suffer for this miscarriage Of jus
tice"
Judge Montgomery said later that
Darden was one Of the cleverest de-
PENDANTS ever appearing before him.
and that If he were falsifying his
narrative rang with conviction.
