 50 YEARS IN PRISON
Sentence Includes 40 for Burglary and 10 for
 Grand Larceny

Mneola. x. Y, July 2S P1James F. Monahan. better known as "Bos- ton Billie" Williams, the gentleman burglar" was sentenced to 50 years in Sing Sing prison today for par ticipating in the s9O,OOO jewel rob- bery at the Jesse l.. Livermore es- tate.
 as ever in court today. He had nothing to say when brought to the rail, and took his sentence without a vince.
 He comes before you neither as a braggart nor a whiner," his coun- sel told County Judge Smith, asking the court to be as merciful as pos sible.
 Judge Smith pointed out that he could have sentenced him to life as an habitual criminal.
 Boston BilIy's mother, Mrs. Mary Monahan, of Worcester Mass, was in the court room.
 His sentence was based on two of l3 indictments brought against him. He received 40 years for robbery and 10 years for grand larceny.
 Both charges were in connection with the robbery of MT. and Mrs. Harry Aronsohn. guests in the Liv- crmore home.
 New York, July 2s (UP)-"Bos- .ln Billie,' today sentenced to spend the next half century behind prison bars, was sentenced to 40 years for burglary and ten for grand larceny. Six additional indictments charging him with nearly a score of jewel robberies are pending against him.
 Williams has been sentenced to iail in New England half a dozen times for breaking and entering and on other similar charges, but has served only few months in prison during his long career of crime. He has shown exceptional ingenuity i'll escaping from jails.
 While he was held in Nassau county iail at Mineola a spoon filed into a key was found in his cell and he spent several days in solitary confinement as a result.
 Williams was a dapper and sue cessful burglar, frequently operating in dinner clothes and planning hls robberies from information obtained from society columns and from gos- sip at golf clubs where he managed to play without membership. The Liyermore robbery and several oth- ers were executed with Arthur Bar ry. another full dress crook who is serving a 30 year sentence Tor burglary. Barry's confession led to Williams capture after long search in New York and New Eng land. He was trapped in New Lon don, Conn.,. and was shot in the leg by detectives when he attempted to escape.
 Barry and Williams entered the Liyermore home during the night of May 29. They awakened MT. and Mrs. Harry Aronson. guests Of the Iivermores. and took their jewels returning some which the victlms said had sentimental attraction. l. Then the burglars went to the room of the Livermores and LOOK all the iewelry they could find there
 Williams and another prisoner shackled to a deputy sheriff, were taken to Sing Sing later in the day AS Boston Billie" walked out oi the courthouse to a waiting auto- mobile, two young women leaned from a window to look at him. He threw them kisses.
