was not represented by counsel and
none of his family were present to
render him any sympathy. He de
nied his guilt and toki a rather weak
story of his -movements last night,
which culminated i nhis arrest this
morning a littje after five, a lew
minutes after officer George Jennings
of the local police force had heard
a window crash, and upon investiga
tion ascertained it to' be at the
Gand. . Two rolls of m'Vey were
found on the young fellow; one con
taining about sixteen dollars and w
shown to officer Rouse when the ar
rest was made, this Holland claimed
and it was turned over to him by the
Court; the other the officer testified
had been dropped, en route to the jail
and Holland denied having had -it;
there were sx ' dllars new ones -
which were identified as some of the
money displayed in th Grand win
dow. Little or no doubt of the guilt
of Holland was held by any who heard
the case. He was sentenced to twelve

worked on the roads.' ? v :
