MAE HAYES GETS FIVE YEARS
Wtmin Who Swallowed Diamond ii Sen
tenced to the Penitentiary.
PROTESTS INNOCENCE TO THE .LAST
la Affected by the S.ttoa Deere aad
Throagh Her Attorney WI
Appeal to th. ta
preme t oart. all;J
Mra. Mae Hayes, convicted of swallowing
a diamond belonging to T. L. Combs &
Co., waa sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary Friday morning by Judg. Sut
ton. Her attorney. W. W. Jjodge, gave
notice that error proceedings would b. car
ried to the aupreme court and a hard fight
for her liberty would.be mad. befqre that
body.
Mrs. Hayes took th. sentence hard and
when It was pronounced aank in her chair,
covered her face with her hands and wept.
After a few minutes she controlled her
self and after a brie'f consultation with
her attorney waa led back to Jail. Mr.
Dodge sought to secure a suspension of
the sentence pending the appeal to th. su
premo court, but Judge Sutton held the
supreme court was the proper body to
grant the suspension.
Mrs. Hayes was taken into th. court
room in the custody of Deputy Sheriff
8tryker. Judge Sutton at one overruled
the motion for a new trial. Wrien asked
if ah. had anythmg to aay why a.ntctice
should not be pronounced, lira. Hayes
said:
"Judge, I never stole that diamond and
never Intended to steal it. If It had not
been for the detective the diamond would
have been there yet.. I ask for rnery on
account of my baby."
Mr. Dodge made a statement to th. court,
calling attention to th. fact his client
Ui bteu left an orphan at an early ag.
and declaring his belief ah. had not In
tended to commit a crime when ahe put
the diamond in her mouth. He aald he
was satisfied ahe was not bad at heart and
called attention to th. 'recommendation of
leniency by the Jury.
"The way of the transgressor la hard."
were the first words of the judge aa b.
pronounced the eentence.
"I believe you belong to a band of
thlevea." he continued, "and thle band
ought to be broken up."
The sentence of five years Is only two
years less than the maximum sentence
provided by law for grand larceny. Evi
dence from Texaa of th. previous bad
character of Mrs. Hayes Is believed to
have Influenced the court In giving her a
aever. sentence. A letter from th. chief
of police at Fort Worth stated ah. had a
bad criminal record there.
Wilson Gibbs, a colored man, who waa
convicted of cutting William Chestnut, an
other colored man. filled the court room
with hla lamentationa when Judge Sutton
sentenced him to five years in th. peniten
tiary. Gibbs tried to make a statement be
fore sentence was pronounced, but sobs
choked hia voice, and he leaned up against
the Judge's bench and gave vent to hla
grief. He alaahed Chestnut across th.
mouth with a raior He asserted Chest
nut, a few days previous, had bit a part
of his ear off and waa threatening hla Ufa
when he uaed the raxor.
A. Rabe waa aentenced to thirty days In
the county Jail for stealing a small quan
tity of whisky from a saloon in which he
formerly worked. Mathew Olbbon waa
given alxty daya for assaulting John Smith
May S. Both men pleaded guilty.
John A. Barton, who deaerted hi. wife
at tha time of the birth of their child,
was arraigned before Judge Sutton and
pleaded not guilty to wlf. abandonment
He waa released on hla own recognisance
after he had promised the court to prorlde
for his family. The babe, which wa. bom
while Mra. Barton was In destitute cir
cumstance!, haa alnc. died.
COAL MEN MAKE BAD ERRORS
In Submittinr Bid to School Board They
Misstate Their Fismres.
NOW WANT TO BE LET OUT OF DEAL
Meaal
Them, bat Hold Their Good
Faith Chock, a. la
Hoaarhtoa Case.
-'?
Two supposedly low bidders on classes of
school district coal have begged to be re
leased from their proposals, alleging that
errors war. mad. In th. bids of a clerical
nature. When Coutant A Squires offered
to Mil anthracite for 19 a. ton a low whis
tle of surpriee In th. achooi board a as
sembly room was heard from Member
Rice, who la In th. coal bualnesa himself.
The next day Mr. Squlrea turned up with
a statement that he had made an error in
addition and put down a " ' instead of a
"10" behind th. dollar mark. He wok. up
several ttmaa in tha night under th. Im
pression that he had made a mistake and
hi. worst fears were confirmed when ha
read th. morning papers. It was figured
that he would lose about $100 on th. 3 JO
ton. of coal raqulred. The auppllea com
mittee has decided to recommend that be
be lot off and the hard coal awarded to the
C. W. Hull company, th. next lowest bid
der, at fi.Sa a ton.
auad.rlaad. Make Error.
Th. other mistake was made by tha Sun
derland Broa. Coal company, which claims
to bav. switched th. prices for lump and
nut coal exactly opposite. Th. bid snowed
!&7i for lump coal and 14 14 for nut, but
It is contended th. figures were reversed
from fore, of habit, th. every day quota
tions reading lump coal first and then nut.
whereas tha bidding blanks rav.rsed th.
order. Th. transposition made Sunderland
Bros. 27 cents low on lump coal, but, of
course, high on nut-sixed fuel. Th. com
mittee on auppllea haa decided to recognize
the appeal of th. concern to withdraw lis
bid.
If the board adopts the recommendations
of th. committee C. B. Havens" A Co.,
will get everything but th. herd cbal at
the following prices: nut. S3.C3: lump.
K13; eteam. $2.t. The Coal Hill Coal
company bid 14 01 on lump and the VlctoV
White company $4.10, but both attached
eitra tpeclflcatlona for long deliveries. Th.
committee decided' to consider only bid.
made In atrict accordan. with th. bidding;
blanks and even though th. Coal Hill com
pany would be low with the strings at
tached, will recommend to giro the eon
tract to a higher bidder.
When thes omewhat tangled matter gets
before the board it may assume a different
complexion. Recently the city held
Robert Houghton to a sewer " con
tract (ln which he claimed he -had., for
gotten to figure in a protlt.and he had to
forfeit hla "good faith" check as th. re
ault. Some of the board members feel
th. same way about the coal bids.
