Guilhot and Merller Get off with Five Years Apiece. It was with much reluctance that the jury In the gambling cases against II. C. Pease brought In a verdict of guilt. They wpic out six houis befoie finally deciding to do so. As one of the Juro'.s put it, they weie veiy much Impressed with Mi. Sfiagg's contention that the commonwealth was asking the jury to guess a man into jail, but Judgr Swartz clearly pointed out that weak as was the case of the piosecutlon, theie was one small thread on which they could hang a verdict of guilty, and they did It The Juiois' outside knowl edge of the case figured extensively In the finding of the veidlct. Pease was not sentenced. Mcssis Scragg and O'Bilen, his attornes, moved for an aitest or Judgment, tint they might have an opportunity of fil ing leasons for a new trial, and later in the day these icasons were (lied. Hnoi Is alleged on the nart of the couit In peimlttlng the case to go to the Juiy, and on the pait of tho piose cutinir attorney in commenting In an alleged Iriegular manner on the fall uie of the defense to offer testlmon. Twelve jears was the sentence Im posed by Judge Archbald on Thomas Luddon the watrhman at Jennyn it Co 's bieaker at Old Forge, who killed Olllcer Patiick Itaffeity aud seriously wounded Olllcei Thomas McKcnna The judge said he understood a majoi Ity of the juiy favoied a veidlct of Hi st dpgiee muider In the eailler bal lots, but he was satisfied with the sec ond degiee verdict, which was finally agreed upon Had Luddon's mind not been sio beclouded with drink, the Judge said, he would, without question, hav been guilty of minder In the Ihst de giee. It was the only extenuating cir cumstance in the (ase, the court said. FELONIOUS WOUNDING. After the imposing of this sentence, Luddon's counsel, Hon John P. Quln uan and John J. Muiphy, had their client entei a pica of guilty In the case In which he was chaiged with feloni ously wounding Police Oflleei McKen n: Judge Aichbafd Imposed a .sen tence of thiee years for this offense, but dhected that It should run concur lently with the other. Thus, Luddon tan pay tho penalty of both crimes In nine jeais, providing he behaves well In the penitential y Jean tJullhot and Francois Met Her, the oung Fieiuiimen who shot Police Olllccts Hemy L. Snyder and Patrick Kays, of Dunmoie, weie given live cais each In tho penitential y, by Judge Aichbald The jury's tecom mendatlon of mercy, he said, he woulu not obsetve. These men, he main tained, wete nbioad on that night with an evil put pose, as was evidenced bv their having In their possession a large bomb and a lev oh or It Is significant, the couit lemarked In this connection, that the flist telegram lecelved fiom Montreal after these men weie caught, Inqiilicd if two men weie wanted here for attempting to blow up a coal oper ators house. Tho defendants' story of the bomb having been piepaied for Fourth of July purposes was absuid, the court again maintained. The 111 st sentence Judge Kelly was celled upon to Impose was on Michael McDonough, who was convicted of job bing Chatles J, Klesel, jr , of his pay In a South Side saloon, last January. At torney D. J. Heedy, counsel for Mc Donough preserited a petition signed by eveiy member of the Jury that con victed him, asking for leniency. Judge Kelly levicwed the evidence In the cas, and after lcmarklng that the Jury was amply Justified In finding a verdict of guilty, raid: "We cannot view this matter lightly. You stole this man's pay ftom his pocket. I am afraid I will make a mistake, If at all, In deal ing leniently with you." Then ho sen tenced McDopough to pay a fine of $23 and spend three months In the county Jail. John O, Ollendyke, of Mnutdale, was sentenced to pay a fine of $20 and costs, for assaulting Hyron Slmrell, and was given three months In tho county Jail and a fine of $10 on tho charge of sell ing liquor to minors, prefened by Will iam Hunt.

I'd like to try that wheel before I buy It." "All light," answered the obliging dealer. "Just takn a spin on It down the block, If you wish." Tho bicjele was accordingly taken outside the shop and the would-be pur chaser mounted It. He rode slowly along for awhlie, remarking that It suited him first-class, and then burst ing Into a sudden spurt of speed, went up Penn avenue like a veritable Kddlo Bald, and disappeared from sight, in a cloud of dust, leaving a ,vfcry sick bi cycle dealer behind him, who Immedi ately Infotmed the police of the oc currence, t They are now on tho tiack of the man with the moustache and the debonair air. 44 Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow. tt A single microbe contains the germ of the most malig nant maladies.
