ROBERTS SENTENCED TO
DEATH JUNE ltli
JUDGE GRIMES OVER-RULES M0
TION FOR A NEW TRIAL AND
PRONOUNCED SENTENCE
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
Roberts Is Penniless, His Rclnthcs lire
Poor, nnd Unable to Raise tho .'100
Neccssnry to Appeal Case to Higher
Court Citizens May Raise Fund.
In tho district court yesterday af
ternoon Judgo Crimes over-ruled tho
motion filed by Attorney Keofo for a
ro-trial of tho Roberts caso. Folowlng
this ruling tho Judgo sentenced Rob
erts to tho death chair on Friday,
Juno 4th, in nccordanco with tho death
penalty brought in by tho Jury before
which the case was tried.
Roberts stood calmly boforo tho
Judge when sentence was Imposed,
and betrayed no fear. After sentence
ho reiterated to his attorney tho state
ment that tho ovldonco ho gnvo on
tho stand was tho truth.
This is tho first timo tlio death pen
alty has becL imposed In Lincoln
county, and the first timo that Judgo
Grimes in his nineteen yenrs on tho
bench' has sentenced any ono to death,
and it was probably a trying task for
him
Roberts is penniless and nil his
relatives aro poor, and they are not
in position to take tho caso to tho
supremo court on error. Tho cost of
carrying tho caso to tho higher court
would bo about ?300 over half of
whicli would bo tho fee of making a
transcript of tho evidence.
Attornoy Kcefo fools confident that
thoro is sufficient error to cause tho
supreme court to remand the. caso for
re-trial, and in this ho is uphold by
several othe'r attorneys convcrsant
with the caso.
A number of North Platte people,
following tho verdict passed on Rob
orts, announced that they stood ready
to ralso a purso to carry tho caso to
tho supreme court. Whether they
aro now so Inclined is net known, but
if so they will, need soon to declare
themselves.
