Vol. XII. No. 100 CONCOUV a, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 1897 Whole N0.1$ TWO YEARS IN JAIL. KILLED 49 SPA BRO WS. jobatAnatm 8enttned For the SI or der of IIU Play-Hate, Kell Knton judge Mntton's Remark! on the Crime, Bffre PronoDnclnr Sen tence. In the criminal court Saturday morning Judge Thomas Sutton an nounced his decision in the Austin case. The judgement of the court was that Austin be confined in the nunty jail lor a term of two years. Before pronouncing sentence Judge Jutton said : 4I have carefully and patiently considered this ca3e in all its bear ing?, as far as I am able to dp ; its importance demanded it , the future life of this soong child claimed if, and the rights and protection of eon ciety were entitled to it. "I have scarcely thought of any thinj; else since the details of this unfortunate and sad affair were laid before me The picture which is presented makes a harrowing scene, and one that has no parallel in the annals of crime, so far as my obser vation or researches extend, and will long be remembered by many of U8. - : . - : ' "I cannot undertake to say which occupies the more sad and heart rending position- the mother of the living boy, now a convicted felon, or she who weeps over the mound which co era - the mortal remains of her dead child; but for my part, as a father, and one who has had the cup pressed to his .lips and had to bury his first born boy, I would rather occupy the position of the parents of the dead than that of the living boy. lhe parents of little elly Oa ton have exhibited a commendable spirit in showing no desire to press, this case and no bitter vindic tiveneas m the prosecution, for which they will always feel a clear conscience in thus leaving the mat ter in the hands of the law. "But what about the living child? What shall, be done with this 10-year-old boy ? "1 have been? troubled more in this case than in any that has ever been at' any time presented : for my con-; sideration. I hae thought oyer, it day and night ; I have taken counsel of my Maker, and have - sought the advice of friends, in whose, judgment and di8cr3tion I have great con fL. dence, and my conclusion is that I ought not to send this young child to the State prison. I cannot: get the consent of my mind to do so. "It is against eyery emotion of our better nature; it is against the sentiment of our people ; it is against the principles of. charity and the doctrine of Christianity. "Once the doors of that great prison close upon him, hoptv would be left behind, his future life a blank, with every prospect withered and eyery aspiration crushed, an'J when!, he emerges therefrom if he should live out his term he would go forth Cain-marked, an Ishmaelite, as it were, with every man's hands against him, and his hands against every one. ' ' ' "While I shall not seed him to the penitentiary, yet li shall try to do that which I think is right and just, remembering, as 1 always try to do, that 'When justice and mercy meet, mercy should prevail.'
