PRISON FORiSEVEN YEARS
From Monday's Dally.
Grant Blunt, who was convicted of
grand larceny at the present term of
court, was taken before the court by
Sheriff Qulnton this morning for his
sentence. When the court extended
the usual courtesy of asking the de
fendant if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon him, Blunt Improved the oppor
tunity to make an extended harangue
to the court saying among other
things that he had not had a fair
trial, that he was an Innocent man,
and that tho principal witness for
the state was much at fault. The
court Interrupted the convicted man
long enough to Inquire how he ex
plained the fact that the goods were
found in his' house. Blunt said that
he had witnesses to prove all that,
but that he was not allowed by his
counsel to put It in. After listening
to his tirade for a short time the
court said he did not care to hear
more and fixed his sentence at seven
years In the penitentiary at Lincoln
at hard labor, with Sundays and holi
days excepted. Blunt did not cease
his speech, but was bemeanlng the
court as the sheriff led him from the
room and only desisted when the
sheriff administered to him a cuff on
the side of the face. The sheriff
ordered him twice to leave off his
ugly speech and he only desisted
when he found the sheriff would pun
ish him unless he did stop.
