SHELLENBERGER'S SENTENCE.
Twenty-two Years’ Solitary Confine-

As the district attorney called them
out loud groans and sobs came from the
dock, t
a mad man. He
and threw it
head and
shook the railing « he with his
hand and foot. Eventually he leaned
his head forward on the rail and buried
it in his arms, rocking himself on the
seat like a person suffering from acute
ain, and at times guivering all over
ike a man in a convulsion.
After the court decided that sufficient
testimony had been hemrd to give an
idea of the grade of the crime, the judge
drew himself up and addressed himself
to the prisoner in a low, husky voice, in
which there seemed a slight tremor of
emotion. Shellenberger never raised
his head, but went on groaning and
weeping violently.
Finally the words dropped from the
judge's lips, “twenty-two years at soli-
itary confinement with hard labor.”
Shellenberger gave a groan of anguish
that was more like a shriek, and al
moet gank to the floor. The scené
caused quite a commotion. The blow
seemed to stun the prisoner. It was
necessary to partly carry him from the
court room.

Very Sharp Swindlers,
PriLaperriia, May 24.-With the
lapse of time and the developments from
day to day in regard to the modus
operandi by which the American Life
Insurance company and the Bank of
America were wrecked, the lawyers in-
terested for the shorn victims are look-
ing in vain for the evidence necessary to
justify a criminal action against the
principals. One lawyer who represents
a number of depositors said that not an
admission had been made on which
criminal action conld be sustained
against one of the officials of the sus
pended bank. He declared that the
mank officials kept within the pale of
the law in loaning large sums of money
to Clerks Ewbanks, Boilean and Yerkes
on the stock of the American Financial
association, and that the clerks cannot
be held for the amounts.
