the Star from St. Louis says Unit
United Stntos Senator Jninns 11 , Unr-
ton was today given sentence of six
months In jail and lined $2,500 by
Jundgo Adams In the United States
district court here.
St. Lonls. April C. The Judge sum
moned Burton to stand up an then
spoke of the motions that had been
llled for a now trial. The court after
hrletly reviewing the motions over
ruled them both and then said to the
defendant :
"Havo yon anything to say why
sentence should not bo passed upon
you ? "
Trembling and evidently suppress
ing his emotions with strong effort ,
Burton said :
"Your honor will please allow mete
to respectfully decline to suy any
thing. "
To which the court replied : "I am
satisfied that the jury In this case is
just and true , In the result of the
trial. Your exalted station In life ,
and the character of your offending
give nn unusual slgnlllcanco to your
conviction. It demonstrates that the
law of the land Is equal to , any
emergency and that It can bo adminis
tered regardless of the personality or
station of accused. It also demon
strates to all the people that public
olllce cannot bo prostituted to self-
serving purposes and that public of
fice Is not a snro or safe passport to
private thrift. "
" The humility attending your con
vlcticn and the statutory dlsqualiflca
tlons resulting therefrom which forever
over incapaclates you from holding
any office of honor , trust or profii
under the government of the United
States are In themselves heavy
punishment for your offense am

any unnecessary punishment. I thlnl
