Garner, indicted for the murder of John Henry Frederick Pelper on the Isth day of July last, was taken up for trial. [t will be recollected that Garner was employed by the Peipers; that on the dayin question a dispute occurred in the bakery of the Peipers, on 13th street, between © and D northwest, when the accused was ejected @om the premises, and it is charged that he drew a pistol and fired two or three shots, one slightly wounding the elder Peiper, and another striking the deceased in the upper back part of the neck, which wound resalted fatally.

STATEMENT OF THE PRISONER. The prisoner paused for several minutes and replied, “I have nothing tosay, your honor. (Another panse.) I had not drank anything for eight months, for I belonged to the Sons of Jonadab, but I was overcome and got to drink- ing, and I did not know anything till 10 o'clock that night.” THE SENTENCE. Judge Cartter proceeded to pass sentence as follows: “Tam goingjto treat you upon the broad poli- ey that when you are sober you are an honest man, and regardful of the life and rights of others. The unfortunate result of the sacrifice of this life was a victim to your insanity under liquor, Not insanity im the technical sense of the term, but crazy violence that maddening indulgence had superinduced. I am going to treat it in that light, and inflict a sentence upon you more in reference to your own good than anyother consideration, Your own good and the safety of the public are the sole considera- tions of the sentence that! shallinflict. I shall give you asentence that will give you an op- fortunity, in the absence of any excitement of the kind, to carry into the reflection of your life & system for its regu!ation, and that will enable you to fix your industries inan employment that will aid you in going through life here- atter. One of your troubles Is that by accident you have been raised to no permanent business; no fixed industry. Your mother has told me that with your years of capacity came on the war, and you went into the army, when you ought to have been in some good employment, be- coming familiar with the aptitudes and employ- ments of an industrious and prosperous lite. “I take that all into account, and shall incorporate it into my views of the sentence 1 am going to pass upon you, fer this sentence, | repeat, has more to do with your good and the public safety than any other consideration. You area young man, with all the prospects of a yet useful lite before you, and Iam not gotng to disable you from réaching them. I believe this life was taken in a wild, semi- inssnity, superinduced by drink; and while in- toxication is no excuse, while ithas heen held in the history of crime to be an aggravation of the offense, yet the law, under the delirium produced by if has haa regard to that circam- Stance. And it is that view that has mduced the public prosecutor and the court in this case to acquiesce in the course assumed t counsel to hold you only responsible fi lesser offense. You cannot bri — victim to life again. You would do it, 1 have no doubt, if you conld. His death will follow you asa shadow through your life if you killed him ma- liciously. This will be your greatest suffering. If it was accidental, fevered, delirious work of yours, why, you know it. The sentence of the court will give you an opportunity to divorce yourself entirely from any of the intiuences tyat the habit of drinking may have Imposed upon you, and give you a further opportunity of disciplining your habits to mdustry. 1am not going to impose the high- est penalty of the law. I be of any advantage to you or tothe public. I do not want to take out of your life the period | that the law might do, for I want to try a part of that in your development hereafter Your sentence will be to hard labor in the Albany penitentiary for the term of fonr years; and upon your own conduct will depend the wisdom or the folly of the sentence. The prisoner was allowed @ short interview with his friends jail, on the way expressing !is thanks that the suspense was over, and he had not received a longer sentence.
