Foltz having any warning that it would
start and he fell head first Into one of
the pockets and was carried up the ele
vator. At the top, whore the buckets or
pockets start down the other way, there
Is a large beam and Foltz was caught
between tho elevator and beam and
was terribly crushed, but had he got
ten passed the beam he would have fall
en a distance of about sixty feet, which
would have meant Instant death. His

were almost bulging out of their sock
ets, ono rib on left side, over the heart,
was broken loose from breast bone and
four ribs on his right side were broken
loose from back bone.

would got well.

NEW TRIAL REFUSED.
Ernest R. Droves Oets Five Years and Six
Months in the Penitentiary.
Ernest R. Groves, who was tried at
the last term of Jefferson county court
for the crime of murdering his father,
and who was found guilty of voluntary
manslaughter by the jury, was sentenced
last Thursday by Judge John W. Reed
to a term ot five years and six months
In the Western Penitentiary. He was
taken to the penitentiary yosterday by
Deputy Sheriff Chosnutt. An applica
tion bad been made for a new trial, but
after hearing the argamenis for new
trial, Judge Reed refused to grant It.
Below we publish In full what Judge
Reed said to Ernest Groves In open
court before pronouncing his sentence:
By the Court: Ernest R. Groves
stand up. What have you to say, If
anything, why the sentence of the law
should not be passed upon you?
After a long and exhaustive trial. In
which your every right was jealously
guarded by able and learned counsel,
the jury has found you guilty of volun
tary manslaughter. Upon tho trial all
reasonable doubts were resolved In your
favor by the court, and I am satisfied
they were so resolved by the jury. Tho
Commonwealth offered to prove certain
statements made by your father, after ho
had beon carried Into the houso, which
strongly tended to corroborate the
theory that you struck your father on
the shod roof. These statements, made
by your father, wore excluded from the
consideration of the jury because the
court was not satisfied they wore made
in vlow of approaching death, or In a
conscious condition of mind that death
was Inevitable. Possibly they were ad
missible as a part of the res gestae, but
you were given the benefit of tho doubt
and they were excluded. The same
may be said ot every doubtful ques
tion relative to the admission of evi
dence upon the trial of tho cause.
In the determination of tho casu by
the jury, they gave you tho benefit of
every reasonable doubt regarding' the
degree of the crime committed, and
found you guilty of tho lowest grado of
crime covored by tho Indlctmont exhib
ited against you.
Tho facts and circumstances in evi
dence 1 in prong tho mind with an abiding
conviction that you were In somo way
instrumental In causing the death of
your father. They evidently so Im
pressed the jury, and the court confess
es to the same Impression. The reason
able doubt In the case portalns rather
to the degree of guilt than that no
guilt at all exists. If you are an entire
ly Innocent man, and have been mado
the victim of a fortuitous slato of facts
and clroumstanccs portending guilt, it
Is unfortunate Indeed, and in that event
I cannot believe otherwise than that
the Judgo of judges will eventually
overrule It all for your good If you will
but truBt Him. If you are guilty, then
I am porsuadud that the punlBhment
which tho law Imposes will be the least
that you will suffer by reason of your
offense.
It Is with sorrow and regret that I
pronounce upon you tho sentence of the
law, and In doing so I am inclined to
give you the benefit of every extenuat
ing foot and circumstances disclosed
upon trial of the case. To pass upon
you, however, a light or trivial sen
tence would be to nullify the verdict of
the jury and to bring the administration
of justice Into disrepute. If innocont
you Bhould go free, if guilty, as deter-
mined by the verdict of the jury, the
sentence should in somo measure at
least be commensurate with the offense
committed. I deem the sentence which
I am about to pass an extremely merci
ful one.
And now, November 28th, 1001, the
court sentences the defendant, Ernest
R. Groves, to pay a fine of one dollar to
the Commonwealth, pay the costs of
prosecution, and undergo an . Imprison
ment by separate or solitary confine
mont at labor In the Western Penlten
tlary, of Pennsylvania, (situated In the
city and county of Allegheny) for and
during the period of five years and six
months, there to be kept, clothed, fod
and treated as the law directs, and stand
oommltted until this sentence Is com
plied with. John W. Reed,
President Judge.
