Arraignments and Sentences.
Prisoners Before Chief Justice Bingham in the
Criminal Court Today.
In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bingham, today
there were thirteen male and three female prisoners in the dock for arraignment,
sentences, &c.
The first called was Robert E. Hall, indicted for forgery
of checks and uttering the same in November last – two on the National
Metropolitan bank for $23 and one on the National Bank of the Republic for $18 –
all purporting to be drawn by C. D. Bailey. He plead not guilty.
John
Sales, colored, indicted with Joseph Grant for larceny of $52 from Thos.
Scantlebury on November 5, plead not guilty.
Wm. Mackall, colored,
charged with embezzlement on December 12 of $10 from W. G. Dorsey, plead guilty
of receiving but not of stealing, saying he spent $1.90. The court imposed a
sentence of sixty days in jail.
Edward Archer and W. Boswell, charged
with stealing a horse valued at $125 from James L. Bolton November 27, plead not
guilty.
Charles Bryan, colored, charged with breaking into the stable of
James A. Tupper December 3, plead not guilty, saying that he went to the stable,
but not to steal. He just went in and borrowed the harness.
Wm. Boswell
and Jas. Lewis, colored, were charged with housebreaking in the night and in the
day by entering the store and dwelling of Milton Sweeny December 12. Boswell
plead not guilty and Lewis guilty. Lewis on being questioned by the court said
the act was in the night and sentence was deferred in his case until Boswell is
tried next week.
Wm. Bender, colored, housebreaking at night, December
18, by entering the barbershop of David Catlett, plead guilty and asked the
mercy of the court. On being questioned he said he had been drinking and was
with a number of other fellows. He was sentenced to two years in the Albany
penitentiary.
Charles Winston, colored, charged with assault with intent
to kill Charles James on December 18, plead not guilty.
Charles H.
Jacobson, a young white man, was charged with the larceny of a bicycle valued at
$100 from D. S. Marsh on December 14. He plead guilty and asked the court to
suspend sentence, saying that he had the promise of a place as a druggist at $75
a month in the south as soon as released. On a second indictment for the larceny
of a gold bracelet, rings, &c., valued at $135, from Nannie L. Magruder, he
plead not guilty, stating that he knew nothing f the articles except the diamond
ring. He took this from her bureau for the purpose of having a diamond replaced
and intended to return it to her at Christmas. He had been going to see the
young lady for some time and had no intention of stealing. Assistant District
Attorney Lipscomb stated that Jacobson attempted to pawn the ring and that his
story was a romance. The court imposed a sentence of two years in the
penitentiary at Albany.
Kate Friday and Sarah L. Lewis, the alleged
shoplifters, were arraigned for the larceny of lace from Woodward & Lothrop and
a seal skin ulster valued at $150 from Stinemetz. They plead not guilty.
In the case of Wm. Bright, convicted of housebreaking, Mr. H. H. Wells, jr.,
withdrew the motion of a new trial and said he would submit to the judgment of
the court. He explained that there was no intent to steal, but that the prisoner
entered the house to see a girl. Unfortunately for them the girl's brother was
at home. He asked for a jail sentence. The court said the punishment should be
more than a jail sentence, no matter what his motive was. He imposed a sentence
of one year in the Albany penitentiary.
In the case of Ada Tenney,
convicted of receiving stolen property ($70 stolen by Jennie Miller from John
Fields in August last), a motion for a new trial was argued by Gen. E. C.
Carrington for defendant and Mr. Lipscomb for the government. The court
overruled the motion.
The case of Grace Ott and Richard Stanton,
convicted of grand larceny, was called by Mr. Cahill and he asked that it be
passed. Mr. Lipscomb said he would not ask that the sentence be imposed at this
time, inasmuch as when the trial of Mary Thomas was up she would likely attempt
to put the crime entirely on them. He desired in case she did so to have Grace
and Stanton competent witnesses.
Mr. A. B. Williams, as counsel for Mary
Thomas, said they would not object to them testifying, and he would be ready to
try the case within ten days. The case was passed.
In the case of Henry
Pryor, convicted December 20 of grand larceny from Alice Taylor, the court
sustained the motion in arrest of judgment. The motion was filed by T. C. Taylor
and L. Murray Browne, wo claimed that the indictment was defective in not
charging the ownership in the proper party. The defendant was retained in
custody till a new indictment is framed.
Frederick Sanders alias Birdie
King, convicted of larceny from the person; motion for new trial overruled.
