The Err-Ruler of Gravesnd Must Spend
That Time In hing Sing.
ALL HIS MOTIONS DENIED.
Judge Bartlett Thought That the Sentence
Should Be Sufliolently Severe to De-
ter Others From} Commit-
ting Similar Crimes.
NEW YORK, Fen. 20.—-Johu Y. McKane
was today sentenced by Justice Bartlett in
the Brooklyn court of oyer and terminer
to six years in the state’s prison at Sing,
Sing. ‘
In passing sentence Justice Bartlett said
that in his opinion the sentence should be
severe enough to deter others from follow-
ing in McKane’s footsteps.
When called upon to state whether or
not he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him, McKane
said:
“I don’t know that I can say anything
except to repeat what I have already said
on the witness stand. I have never in my
life done anything to injure anybody. I
never had anything to do directly or indi-
rectly with the crime I am charged with.
I will end by saying that I am not guilty.”
McKane arrived at the courthouse at 8:45.
Contrary to the programme announced
last night, he did not make the trip from
Raymond Street jail in a carriage, but
walked the wucle distance beside Sheriff
Buttling.
When the sheriff and his charge reached
the courthouse, they went at once to the
sheriff’s office. They came in from the
Livingston street entrance and walked be-
tween the two lines of Gravesenders drawn
up in the lower corridor. “Cheer up,
chief!” was frequently heard as McKanc
passed.
McKano In Court.
McKane remained in Sheriff Buttling’s
private office until almost 10 o’clock, the
time set for his sentencing. At 9.55 there
was a. great commotion outside the court-
room, and amid the shouts of the police-
men ordering the crowd to “Keep back,
there,” the door was opened wide enough
to allow McKane and Sheriff Buttling to
slip through.
McKanc walked down the center aisle to
a chair placed for him in front of Clerk
Byrne’s desk. He appeared perfectly self
possessed. His color was natural, and he
walked with a firm step. He turned when
he had reached the front of the courtroom
and watched the court officers at the door
fighting the crowd back.
Within five minutes his array of counsel
arrived. It was seen that with ex-Judge
Troy was Colonel E. C. James. Colonel
James took a seat beside McKane, and the
two talked earnestly for a few minutes.
Then the counsel for the prosecution filed
in and took their seats.
It was whispered around that Colonel
James had been engaged as additional
counsel for McKane and that he would
make the formal motions before sentence
was passed.
The Gravesend politicians, who have ‘
stuck so close to their chief all through the
trial, sat near McKane in the courtroom.
When the doors were thrown open to the
public, there was a mad rush for seats. It
took but a fraction of a minute to pack
the courtroom almost to suffocation.
Justice Bartlett took his seat at 10:10,
and at once rapped for order.
Deputy District Attorney E. M. Shepard
arose and stated to the court that he un-
derstood that Colonel James had been en-
gaged by the defendant and would address
the court.
Moving For a New Trial.
Colonel James then began to make the _
formal motions which always precede the
sentencing of a. prisoner.
“I appear as counsel,” he began, “to pre-
sent to your honor several reasons for
granting this defendant. a new trial.’ ’
Colonel James then moved for a new trial
on the grounds of the failure of the court
to charge the jury in all respects as request-
ed by the defense.
“Having considered the facts presented
during the trial of this case with as much
care as I am capable of, I am compelled to
deny the motion,” replied Justice Bartlett.
Another motion for an arrest of judg-
ment on the ground that the facts as stated
in the indictment did not constitute a
crime was also denied.
Then Colonel James tried another
course, bringing up section 12 of the penal
code. Reading from the law, he said that
where the maximum term of imprison-
ment for u. crime does not exceed 10 years,
and where the defendant has never been
convicted of any felony before, the court
should take‘ the prisoner’s previous good
character into consideration in his decision
concerning an application for an arrest of
judgment. ‘
Colonel James then made it touching ap~
peal for McKane. lie enlarged on the fact
that McKane had hitherto borne a spotless
reputation, had never been charged with
anyotlense, that his aid had been sought
by many, and that his friendship had been
enjoyed by countless hundreds.
Colonel James insisted that the test
should be the opinion of McKanc’s towns-
men as to his good character.
The lawyer concluded this appeal by
asking why was the law which he had
just read made unless the court was to
consider and recognize the defendant’s
previous good character.
The Motion Denied.
“All I can say, Colonel James,” replied
Justice Bartlett, “is that I don’t think the
circumstances in this case warrant the ex-
ercise of any such discretion on the part of
the court. I must therefore deny your
motion.”
The court also refused a stay of the ex-
ecution of judgment for 20 days to enable
the defendant to move on notice for a core
tificate of. doubt.
Mr. Shepard then moved, on the part of
the people, for the passing of judgment.
Although Mr. Shepard did not share the
opinion of the jury concerning McKane’s
deserving clemency of the court, in defer-
. ,once to his associates he would say that
counsel for the prosecution approved of a
substantial consideration by the court to
the recommehdation for mercy.
Sheriff Buntling told a reporter who
called at Raymond street jail. that he
ould not take McKane to Sing Sing un-
t 1 tomorrow. He expected to go up with
another batch of prisoners at that time,
and McKane will be included among the
number.
S. Stryker Williamson, who rode back
to the jail in the coach with McKane, said
that the delay in taking McKane to prison
had been agreed to by Sherifffiuntling in
order that the prisoner might have an op-
portunity to arran as his personal affairs.

HEALTHY EXERCISE
—-fresh air and proper food, help to
keep a woman in good condition.
It’s insufficient for some, weakened
or borne down as they are by the
ailments and irregularities peculiar
to their sex.
They’re easily helped, though;
there’s a remedy in Dr. Pierce’s Fa-
vorite Prescription—that will build
up and cure every enfecbled woman.
It’s the prescription of a physician;
has been tested in thousands of
cases, and never found wanting.
The only risk that’s taken is that
of the manufacturers who promise
to refund the money if no benefit is
experienced.
This “Prescription” reaches the
origin of the trouble. Dizziness,
fainting spells, and nervous disorders,
such as sleeplessncss, chores. or St.
Vitus’s dance, depend upon the ir-
regularities and displacements of the
special structures, the “ Prescription ”
cures by regulating and correcting
theSc functions and organic changes.
