HARVEY SENTENCED. imprisonment for ‘Twelve Years at Hard Labor. ‘THE PRISONER PLEADED GUILTY AND AN APPEAL FOR LENIENCY WASMADE BY HISCOUNSEL—REMARKS OF JUDGE MONTGOMERY IN PASSING SENTENCE. ‘This afternoon, in the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery, Oscar J. Harvey, indicted for forgery of the names of C. A. Lane and Nathaniel Pierson, was arraigned, He was, as usual neatly attired, and listened attentively to the reading of the in- dictment. In answer to the usual question he pleaded guilty, ‘The district attorney said that, in view of the plea, he would not ask his arraignment on the other indictment charging him with presenting false amdavits, Mr. King, hiscounsel, was about to make a state- ment when the district attorney sketched the cir- cumstances of the crime, saying that if the defici- ency bill had passed he’ doubtless would have re- ceived $60,000. Under the law the punishment was seven Years imprisonment, and he might be sent enced on each of the iv he would not Cats e counts, bul yal AN APPEAL FOR LENTENCY. ‘Mr. King, after referring to the suicide of a cler- gyman some years ago, said that this was a simi- lar case, Harvey’s mind being unsound. He was a Fraduate of ore of the best colleges in the land, ut he had a morbid desire to live beyond his Means, and permitted himself to become involved and nearly crazy. He had such a desire for works of art that he ‘had been known to spend his Month's salary for an article without providing for his family wants. It was on this account that he asked that justice be tempered with mercy. While occupying a position in a Government Department he had committed these forgeries, and the very fact that he committed them was an indication that he Was not of an entirely sound mind, “He had woven the net and plunged into {t, and @ man of so little discretion was scarcely Accountable. For this reason he asked leniency, He cited some instances where light sentences had resulted in thorough reformation. ‘The case of Sharp he referred to as one where the defendant took an immense amount of money. ‘The sentence was Dut four years. If the accused received a moderate sentence he would come out a reformed man. He would go to the jail or the "penitentiary penniless, for he had given up all. He had a’ mother, a wife, and four beauti{ul children, tie eldest hot yet six years old. What would become of them? If the punishment is light they would de- Yote themselves to his reformation. He was thirty-six years of age, but if the punishment fs Rot too long he would come out prepared to be- come useful, “Hie would leave the caso witn the District Attorney Worthington remarked, in an- swer to the statement that the frauds would have been found out by letters of inquiry as to the clatins, that in many of the cases the parties could not be found. ‘The defendant dented that _he sought promotion to the Second Controlier’s Once, and. suld he Was Placed there against his wish and desire. THE COURT, IN PASSING SENTENCE, remarked that he could see but little excuse for this crime, aud wnile the situation of the defend- ant’s family appealed to him, there was but one way of stopping crime. The matters urged as to the length of sentence should be for the executtv ‘The protection of society was to be considered and anexample must be made. It was not a sudden impulse, but by a scheme for months, that the accused was robbing the Government. "He would sentence the defendant to twelve years in the Al- Dany penitentiary (three years on each count) at hard labor. He could do no less than this, Return of the President.

The com- plaints alleged that these railroads, which control the Covington stock-yards, had practically refused to transport live stock for Kelth & Wilson. The complaint was of unjust dis- crimination. The complainants and the railroads Were represented by counsel, and some testimony was taken, Mr. Kelth, of the firm making the charge, Was examined ‘at length. He stated in substance that the railroads lad imposed terms and conditions which practically dented to nis firm the facilities of transportation for live stock; that the roads refused to receive and deliver live stock at complainants’ yards, but required that the shipping and receiving should be done at and through the yards controlled by the railroads, and that during the past few months the roads had imposed a charge per head for all stock of com- Plainants’ passing through the yards; that this Gharge was a new device of the Toads, and Dur- dened complainants’ business. ‘The Present Comfortable Temperature.

I am unchanged to-day, as far as my feelings are concerned toward the people of Fayetteville, and it is with extreme gratitude that am with you, I find myself in a place above all others dear to me at the present tne. “Jt was here that I enjoyed every pleasure, sport, and pastime of my boyhood. I must recall to thé minds of the citizens of Fayetteville some of the changes since forty years ago. Very many of the friends of that time are dead. I was reminded to day of the number of deaths on the north side of your principal street, between the bridge and the Street on which T used to turn down to the old par- sonage, and Iwas astonished. Among those Who are gone Whom I can recall are Mr. Cobb, Mr. Parker, Mr, Gillett, the McVickers, Wordens, Palmer, Edwards, Noble, the Hurds, Flint and many others. ‘There are other things’ that recall the scenes and incidents of my boyhood besides the dead. “J remember Green Lake, and the fish I tried to catch and never caught, and Which, I suppose, are thereto-day. Yes, and remember the story of the anther secn on the shore, and how scared I was: ButT have heard so much howling for the past two years that I do not think the panther would frighten me now. I could tell some of the old resi- dents of Fayetteville who took off their front gates forty years ago. I mention this thing, as since I have been In Washington 1 have been’ accused of So many crimes that taking off gate seems to me almost a virtue. I received my first rudiments of education in Fayetteville, and these, with the Sun- day School andreligious influences are all brought back fresh to my mind. All of these remem- brances have gone with me through every station of life, It 13a pleasure to recall in retrospection Fayetteville, and those days, so many years ago, are the firmést and pleasantest. memories that in mind dwells upon, I have taken you and the vi lage of Fayetteville with me.
