Schmidt und sberrill (.'lark today
were found gnlliy of assault und bat-
tery by a Jury In fudge Grocer's court
While A. N. Slmms the third defend-
ant was acquitted.
The Jury was out for nearly thirty
hours. Sentence was deferred to per-
mit attorneys to argue a .notion fr a
new trial.
Confessed Men (-t one Year.
Earlier In the day the court Imposed
sentences of one your euch In Jail the
extreme penalty on Everett G. Clark
Jay Pltswater Watson Bcrenton and
Edward Rleord confessed assailants
of Miss Chamberlain These four men
confessed before the present trial be-
gan The court ruled thnt the men
must pay the costs of the prosecution.
Rleord already was In jail having
been surrendered by his bondsmen
77 days ago. The court released the
three other men that they might have
a reasonable length of time in which
to straighten out their business nf-
falrs. Fitzwutcr and Scrunton said
they were ready to go to Jail
week. Clark's business Interests
keep him busy for a month.
Glad It Was Over.
Both the convicted and th
fessed men took their sentences calm-
ly. The four confessed men expressed
themselves as actually glad that the
long period Of waiting was over.
None of the confessed men offered
any reason why they should not be
sentenced. Thu court made no com-
ment on the crime.

grace but has no harsh feelings
against the officers for enforcing the
law. "It was a shocking crime" he
said. "I so expressed myself before I
knew my son was Implicated."

The most surprising feature of the
verdict to those who have follow d th
case slowly was tb mvletlon of
Schmidt. He Is a qub t. little farmer
