HILDRETH SENTENCED.
Life Imprisonment the Punishment
For the Misguided Boy,
THE COMMENT OF THE JUDGE
lie Thought the Jury Had Been Lenient
\Vith the Prisoner—Forty Years
Each For the Other Two Youths
Implicnted In the \Vreck.
ROME, N. Y., May 9. —-.ludge McLau-
nan’s court convened early today. After
transacting some ex parte business the
case of Hildreth was taken up. The de-
fendant sat in his usual place and looked
neat and tidy and wore a red sweater. His
father sat at his left side and rested his
right arm affectionately on his son’s
shoulder. Both looked crestfallen. the fa-
ther especially so, his eyes being moist-
ened. Ten minutes later the district at-
torney moved that judgment in the case
of Hildreth be rendered.
On being sworn Hildreth said he was
born in New York city nearly 18 years
ago, and gave his occupation as a student.
He said he received an academic educa-
2 an. thnt his habits. were temperate and
his religion Protestant. When mixed if he
had anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced, he said “No." The
lcurt said: “Sentence of court is that you
be confined in Auburn state prison for the
remainder of your natural life at hard
labor. The court considers the jury has
dealt leniently with you, as they could
have convicted you of murder in the first
degree. I will not say anything to add
more sorrow to your feelings, as you have
others nearer and dearer to you who are
able to advise with you.”
As young Hildreth was led back to jail,
his father, with his eyes filled with tears,
shook the hand of his son heartily, and
with reluctance allowed him to accom-
pany the sheriff back to his cell. It would
be a. heart of stone that could show no
feeling of sypmathy for that boy’s father.
Young Hildreth took the sentence cool-
ly, and did not waver in the least from
his attitude during the entire trial.
District Attorney Klook said that Hil-
dreth will not be taken to prison till some
day next week, and said there would be
no objection now to Miss Porryn' seeing
Hildreth.
’ The Others Sentenced.
After Hildreth’s case had been disposed
of Attorneys Bayles and Searle held a 15
minutes' conversation with Theodore Hib-
bard and Herbert Plato, jointly indicted
with Hildreth for two counts of murder in
the first degree in killing Engineer Nathan
Hagar and Robert Bond, who expired in
the wreck caused by the boys on the New
Ydrk Central railroad in Rome Nov. 19
last. The boys appeared later in court with
,their counsel. Miss Maud Hlbbard and her
aged father sat beside their brother and
son. Miss Hibbard Wept bitterly, while
the father buried his head in his hands.
None of Plato’s relatives was in court.
They have left him to his fate all during
the trial.
District Attorney Klock read the indict-
ments to them and then asked if they de-
sired to withdrew their former pleas of not
guilty to murder in the first degree and
plead guilty to manslaughter in the first
degree. Mr. Sayles said he had advised
his clients to do this and they had decided
they would, rather than stand trial to the
indictments. Pluto, on being sworn, said
he was 18 years of age and was born in
Rome. Hibbard said he was 18 years old
and born in Verona, Oneida county.
Sayles pleaded for leniency for his clients,
and after some good advice from the court
the boys were sentenced to hard work in
Auburn prison for 20 years on each indict-
ment, 40 years each.
Both received the sentence coolly and
did not shed tears, while Hibbard's father
and sister wept bitterly. They, too. were
fed back to their cells and will be taken to
Auburn with Hildroth. This is the end of
the worst crime ever perpetrated in Oneida
county.
Story of the Crime.
John Watson Hildreth, assisted by four
boys, all of whom were older than he, and
the eldest but 19 years of age, wrecked
the fast mail coming east on the New
York Central railroad at 4:18 a. In. on
Tuesday, Nov. 19, 1895. The train, which
consisted of the big mogul engine 883,
four; white mail cars Ind three passenger
codeh'éb. was thrown from the track about
two miles west of Home, N. Y. It came
thundering down I steep grade, running
311110" I mile I minute. The engine and
every car loft the mill. Engineer Nathan
M. Hagar and a via-Imp named Robert
Bond, who was stealing I ride on one of
the mall cars, were killed instantly. Sev-
eral other persons were hurt, but not
mortally.
Hildreth was 17 an old. He was a
boy who aspired to coda of daring of the
kind made pdblio through cheap editions
of the life of Jesse Jamel. He was a nat-
ural loader. When he, Theodore Hib-
bard, Herbert kIthIll PlIIo and Fred
erick Bristol had been togoshor for awhile
they laid their plans to wreck I passenger
train and rob the bodies of the dead.
Their first attempt, nude on the night of
Nov. 10, was I failure because the tools
they stole. with which they were to loosen
the rails, did not fit the nuts that had to
be unscrewed.
Nothing daunted, than four boys broke
into I tooluhcp of the New York Central
railroad just west of Home shortly after
midnight OI Nov. 18. '1'th secured 111:“
they wasted and proceeded wut along
the track ntil they can" to I bit of road
where the I is I down grade and I 16 foot
embankment. Bore, Iftor four hours of
hard work, they succeeded in removing
the fllhplatu from two of the rolls on
the out bound passenger track Ind turned
the ends of tho rIilI pointing out so that
if‘the next trIin should keep those rails it
would plunge over the embankment.
One little incident in the course of their
hours of labor illustrated their disposition
and ambition. Plato became nervous and
said that he guessed that he would go
back. “The man that goes back,“ an-
swered Bristol as be straightened up from
his work on the fishplate, “I’ll shoot.”
Plato staid.
Plato’s Pronunciamento.
Plato had to square himself for this.
He did it in this way: When the rails
had been loosened and put out of position,
the boys concealed themselves behind
"some bushes to await developments.
Each one had a cocked revolver in his
right hand. There was but one sentence
spoken, and Plato was responsible for
that. “It's past the middle of the month
,now,” he said, “and we‘ve got to kill some
one before the end of November.”
Down the grade the boys saw the fast
mail coming. Their hearts wore in their
mouths. Now was their chance. As the
engine and cars plunged over the'embank- ,
ment in one frightful wreck and the cries

of the injured burst upon the‘air, the four
would be desperadces turned and ran for
home. Leader Bildreth was in such a
hurry that he lost his hat. -
It was an unfortunate circumstance,
for in it was his name. The hat was
found, and Hildreth was arrested the next
day, but not before he had confessed the
whole story in detail to a young woman
with whom he was in love. He told her,
too, the names Of his accomplices. He also
confessed to the chief of police. When he
and his companions were in jail, safe out
of harm’s way, he denied the fact that he
had ever made any confession. . Hildreth
is the son of .1. Homer Hildreth, a New
York lawyer of standing. The boy would
never have gone to Rome if he had not
lied to his father.
He told him that he wanted eventually
to run a fruit farm in California. To that
end he desired to attend an agricultural
college in Rome. He secured his father’s
permission to do this, and regularly re-
ceived money for his tuition and support.
There is no agricultural school in Rome.
Hildreth put in his time at card playing
with the boy members of his gang and in
reading flashy literature. The check his
hoped for career has received is the one he
might naturally have expected.
HOW "JOLLY TABS” CELEBRATE.
Fight Between Sailors From the Petrol
and From the British Cruiser Spartan.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.—Detatls have
been received here of a fight between a
number of sailors of the United States
gunboat Petrol and British sailors at
Shanghai just before the Patrol sailed for
this port, where she is now at anchor.
The trouble was started by the British
cruiser Spartan’s throwing its searchlight
on {the Patrol in an annoying manner.
Captain Emery wrote a note to the com-
mander of the Spartan about it and re-
ceived a letter of apology. The next day
eight or ten of the Petrcl’s seamen were
seated in the upper room of a saloon when
anumber of the Spartan’s men entered
the barroom. The Petrels men were drink-
ing and singing songs, and the English-
men suggested that they throw the Yan~
kees through the windowe. The British
sailors started up stairs and were met by a
shower of glasses, bottles and cases of
wine which had been stored in the upper
room. When everything that could be
used as a missile was gone, the American
sailors rushed down, and a hand to hand
conflict ensued in which knives were used
freely, several of the Spartans crew being
badly cuts. The British consul subsequent
ly held an official inquiry into the affair,
and the court decided against the Spar.
t'an’s crew.

Fatal'Fuel.
It did not require the Cincinnati gaso-
line explosion with its scOre of dead vic-
tims and its ruined buildings to prove
that gasoline is one of the most. danger-
ous products used for fuel or for any
other purpose. .
The lesson of the Cincinnati disaster
is the necessity of officials inspection to
prevent the use of dangerous explosives
as fuel in buildings. It makes very
little difference whether a building full
of people is blown to atoms by an ex-
ploding boiler or a gasoline tank, but if
there is any difference the latter is
worse, as fire is certain to follow the ex-
plosion.

THE GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY.
Extradition .of Turner and Dunlop—Tho
, Question of. Reward.
LONDON, May 9.—The extradition of
William Turner and William Dunlop, the
.two men arrested hereon the charge of
having stolen jewelry valued at $60,000 '
from I. Townsend Burden of New York,
was granted at the Bow Street police
court today by the chief magistrate. Sir
John Bridge. John D.“ Lindsay, assistant
district attorney of New York, sat on the
bench beside Sir John Bridge and Mr. and
Mrs. Burden and Frank N. Evanhoe, the‘
special agent appointed by Governor Mor«
ton to bring Turner and Dunlop back to
the United States, Were present in court.
Counsel for Turner tried to show that
his client did not know of the robbery,
and that Dunlop 'was really the guilty'
man. The magistrate, however. overruled
this plea and granted the extradition of
the prisoners. Counsel for Dunlop said he
did not desire to address the court.
Mr. Burden, in speaking about the re«
ward offered for the recovery of the jaw:
olry, concerning the right to which a ques-
tion has arisen between the Scotland Yard
men and Streeter, the Bond street jeweler,
to whom some of the stolen stones were
offered, said the matter would be settled
in New York, when he regained posses-
sion of the jewels.
The detectives were asked why the pris-
oners were able to leave New York with
the jewels, and said that Mr. Burden
seemed afraid to adopt vigorous measures,
as the men had no previous criminal reo~
0rd. Consequently the New York detect-
ives were unable to arrest and search the
l two suspected men.
Mr. and Mrs. Burden will sail for New
York on Saturday, May 2-3.
