HOSPITAL | s nild; D'GROOT GIVEN. 20-YEAR TERM; Sentenced—Plans to Take an Appeal Harry DeGroot, local barber, con- victed several weeks ago of sec- ond degree murder for the shoot- ing of Abe Hansen at Chichagof early in Jegnuary, 1933, was today sentenced by Judge G. F. Alexan- , der in the Federal district court to serve a term of 20 years in the Federal penitentiary at McNeil Island, or any similar place that the United States Attorney Gen- eral might “Girect. was granted on motion of George B. Grigsby, DeGroot's counsel, in | order to give him time to perfect an appeal. when he was called to the bar for | sentence. He fook the sentence without any show of concern or other emotion. Asked by Judge Alexander if he | had anything to say why sentence | should not be imposed. he replied in a firm, clear voice: “I am inno: cept in self-defense.” After a moment’s pause, Judge Alexander said: “Well, that is not the verdict in this case. You are, | perhaps, the only person who knows just what the facts were, and the evidence does not bear out your statement.” He commented, also, that DeGroot had been de-| | fended by two of the ablest law- | vers in the Territory—Mr. Grigsby and H. L. Faulkner. The minimum sentence that could have been imposed is 15 years, and the maximum life im- | prisonment. In view of the fact that the trial jury had asked for | leniency, Judge Alexander said he was fixing it at 20 years. For Blanche Ridley Nichia, con- victed several weeks ago of man-| | slaughter for the killing of Ole| Storset at Yakutat last Septem- | ber, Mr. Grigsby filed a bill of ex- ceptions, petition of appeal and an assignment of errors. These were | set for hearing next Saturday | morning before Judge Alexander.
