Otis stated that the =tot> had con- 2 chan=r of the charge to murder in the sec- order o save exnense 2te =nd the sama time in- to the ruilty, which Sireat ithe Third might be not attained at trial, al- though hardly possible. He asked for substantial sentence in order that Slammon could be kept under re- straint, until such time that it was proven bevond doubt that it was safe to_permit him to commingle with his fellowmen. Mr. Otis gave a brief his- tory of the crime, which he believed to have been caused by the uncon- trollable temper of Slammon, and heightened by excessive drink. Attorney Ledwidge, who with At- torney Dunn, had been assigned by the court to defend the accused, told in detail of the work that had been done by the attorneys to get at all the facts in the case. . The attorney told of Slammon coming to Boston vith his parents when three vears of age, of his father beins drowned oon thereafter and of his mother dy- < six months afterwards. He was cared for by an older sister, and when 11 years old he had a series of sick- ness of a combination of fevers, and a little later sustained a head trouble by reason of a fali, and these men- tai troubles recurred at intervals. Slammon is now only 30 vears of age andat the time of his arrest was serving his third enlistment in the regular army, his two discharges be- ing of the very highest standard. The officers at Fort Greble speak of Slam- mon in the highest possible terms as to character and general behavior. Mr. Ledwidge told of the killing of youns Parkinson, asainst whom Slammon hiad no spite, but on the contrary was 6n the best of terms with him, and that the killing was all a blank to the accused. Sergeant Slammon then made a his own behalf, and related his family difficulties, which he buted to the constant interfer- of his mother-in-law. After tell- how the pistol happened to be in possession, instead of in the gov- ernment store house, purely by acei- dent, he told of going to the Parkin- son home to see his wife, and of his mother-in-liaw calling him a drunken beast and orderinz him from the premises. After that all was blank. He did not know that he had shot and killed Parkinson, with whom he had been on the’ best of terms. Attorney Ledwidze made a_strong plea for a lizht sentence, which could not under the law be than ten vears, but mizht be for life. He be- lieved there was still hobe and a fu- ture for the youns soldier. Judge Doran sentenced Slammon to a term of fifteen years in the state prison. The court then adjourned to Wed- nesday morning at 10.30. Judge Do ran_will preside in court here Wed- nesday and Friday and godd go to Newport on Mondav. Judge Barrows ill come to Westerly for the remain- der of the session . Local Laconics, arunks were disciplinea district court Tuesday.
