Robert Thompson, alias Joy. aent up from Douglas county last December for a burglary committed In 8outh Omaha, will face a ten-year term of service upon his release from the state penitentiary next month. Just a year ago laat Wednesday Thompson was aentenced In Toronto, Can ada, to ten years for burglary. While In the office of the Jail he was left alone for a few minutes. He took advantage of the opportunity to run away. No trace of him waa discovered for months. When he waa sentenced In Omaha he tried the same trick. Just as he got outside of the court room be wrested himself from the grasp of a deputy and skipped down Farnam ! etreet. He might have got away had not fortune been against him. The patrol wagon happened to be passing and the driver took after him and captured the fleeing man. Thompson waa a very sullen prisoner and his physiognomy of pronounced a criminal type that E. B. Fairfield. Ber tftlon officer at the prison, decided to look him up. He found that be was wanted In Canada and notified the officers there. Yesterday afternoon Jamea Rogers, In spector for the criminal Investigation de partment of Ontario, and Chief of, Police Sarvls of Toronto arrived. They brought extradition papers, but under the treaty with that country it waa necessary first to fcold a hearing before the United States commissioner, who make a report to the Washington government. The hearing waa held at the penitentiary today. Thompson was sent up from Omaha under the name of Joy, and has stoutly Insisted that la hla name. It waa thought to catch him napping by suddenly confronting him with the Canadian offi cers; but he never betrayed any surprise at aeelng them. He denied being Thorup. son. or of ever having lived In Toronto, lthnnrh the chief haa known him for sixteen years. Thompson warned tha officers that they were making a bad mistake, and that he was not the man they wanted. He was taught, however. Just as he was leaving the room. While the deputy was holding the door open for htm to go out Inspector Rogers suddenly called out: "Oh. Thompson!" Involuntarily the man stopped and turned half around, then, remembering himself, he walked on. Commissioner Marlay sent, a certification of his belief that Joy and Thompson were the same man to the department at Wash ington. The Cauadlan officers have gone home, but will return to get hlui next month. Irrlaatloa la Usi Cooaty. James C.

There's nothing so good for a cough as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral ! A cough means a great deal to a young person, when there Is a family history of weak lungs, with perhaps a case of con sumption itself. Coughs weaken the tissues, congest the mem branes, and prevent healing. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral controls the congestion and inflammation, and the cough disappears.

DEFENSE HAD EXPECTED A HUNG JURY Intense Intereat Manifest by People la Caae and Defendant the Cool cat Man la Coart Room. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4. Robert MrClure Snyder was convicted of bribery in the criminal court tonight and waa sentenced to five years' Imprisonment In the state penitentiary, after the jury had considered for fifty minutes Its verdict on the case. which had occupied an entire week in pre sentation. The jurors had retired at 9:4'!, after almost four hours of arguments by the attorneys for the defense and the state. No bondsmen were present when Snyder's conviction was announced, the defense hav ing apparently been confident that its testi mony concerning Snyder s residence In Kansaa City would convince the jury that he waa entitled to the benefits of the stat ute of limitation as a shield for his crime. The Incarceration of tbe convicted man seemed to be imminent, when two of his attorneys, Judge Henry S. Priest and Mor ton Jourdan, algned hla appeal bond for $25,000, securing his release until the terra of . court commencing Monday. Early In this term Snyder will be sentenced and mo tions for appeal and a new trial filed. The close of the trial was marked by Incidents of no less absorbing intereat than those of Thursday, when the story of Snyder's colossal boodle transactions and wholesale purchases of councllmen was re vealed on the witness stand. During the final pleading of the case the court room overflowed with spectators. During the speeches of Judge Prtest for the defense and Circuit Attorney Folk for the state the utmost stillness prevailed. Especially did all references to the crime of bribery hold the Interest of the auditors. Bet on the Verdict. During tbe jury'a absence the crowd grew greater and betting pools were formed by speculative persons In the Four Courts cor ridors. The most favorable prediction made in Snyder'a behalf was a hung jury. Many believed that the defense had shown facts In the matter of residence which would convince some, at least, of tbe jury that Snyder la and has been a resident of Kan sas City. In the whirl of the current of intense Interest which revolved around him, Sny der aat apparently Immobile. When tbe verdict waa read hardly an tustant's cbauge In hla expression could be noted. He watched tbe jurors as they pressed their way through the almost unyielding crowd. As Foreman Charles W. Wall broke the silence, he leaned slightly forward, in tently listening. "Guilty five years," were the words which stood out from the formal lan guage of the foreman's report In the hear ing of Snyder and of the throng gathered to learn hla fate. The convicted man shifted In his chair and aat motionless while congratulating hands were extended past him to grasp the hand of Circuit Attorney Folk. Few of the assemblage In tbe court room left until It had been definitely learned that Snyder would not pasa the night In jail. Then the coutt room was abandoned and Snyder, free for the time being, left, accompanied by his attorneys. The conviction of Snyder followed a long course of testimony and tbe controversy which had nothing to do with tbt main charge at bribery, but everythlag to do la MM Comforts Important to all Suit and Cloak Buyers We have kept replenishing our stock, re ordering the most popular garments and add ing new styles as soon as created so that the buyers the coming week will be able to secure the same exceptional values that have attracted Mich wide attention this season.

Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk, through whose efforts Snyder was brought to jus rice, made the following statement tonight regarding the verdict: Folk Is Plenaod. "Naturally I am well pleased with tbe verdict of the jury. I believe that it was In accordance with the law and facta. There was not the slightest doubt on my part of the defendant's guilt. But whether the jury declared him Innocent or gulty the state was entirely satisfied with the facts as presented. We neglected, I believe, no point which it waa possible to bring out. . "From the start we were confident of our contention and the result justifies our san guine beliefs. Tbe case has served not only as an object lesson to others who would prostitute their position of public trust, but furnishes the people wtth an insight into tbe methods of the bribe-giver and the bribe-taker, and from that standpoint alone tbe trial was fruitful of much good. "For the splendid work of my associates, Mr. Maroney, Mr. Bishop and Mr. Harvey, I am greatly Indebted for the fine showing tbe state made." Roatlnc Conrt Proceed In as, Tbe reading of the deposition waa re sumed at the trial of R. M. Snyder, banker and promoter, charged with bribery, this morning.
