Judge Harrington convened court
at Bassett Saturday , for the purpose
of passing on the motion for anew
trial in the case of George Witgrefe ,

the property stolen was jointly owned
and only one of the owners denied
having given consent to any person to
t-ike the property The morion was
overruled and the case will be taken
to the supreme court , Weigrefe is 58
years of age and has a wife and fam-
ilBe is in very poor health and
while he was standing to receive sen
tence he fainted away. It was a
pathetic sight which brought to those

the law. The judge said he was sorry
to have to sentence the defendant ,
and that on account of his age and
the united request of the jury for
clemency he would give him but two
years Chris Pppe , who was jointly
charged with stealing the cattle with
Weigrefe and who pleaded guilty was
also given two years.
