Tom Ballard Bentenced to be Hanged on the 20th Day of January, 1880, Xesterday was sentenoce day in the dls- trict court before Judge Neville, and a great deal of interest was manifested, The occasion was fraught with more than the usaal Interest, for one man was to be sentenced to death, and In vlew of this fact a large crowd gathered. The space Inside the rall was nearly all occupied by attorneys, who llstened moat attentively to the sentences of the jadge. The prlsoners, twelve In all, were brought into court absut 10 o’clock, and thers were some sorry-looking faces among them, The one upon waom all eyes wera fixed, was that of Ballard, He has aged greatly, and looks very little like the man who was Incarcerated in the county jall last March charged with maurder. His face was covered with a three weeks' growth of beard, hls eyes were sunken, and altogether he looked completely broken down. The prisoners occupied the juy box, and just filled the chalrs, making & ful jury. The court, before sentencing the pris. oners, gave his decision on the motlon for a new trlal in the Ballard case. Judge Neville stated that in ks jodgment no errors had been made In the cass, and refased to granta new trial. Thomas Ballard was the first man sen- tenced. He stood calmly in bis place and looked steadily at the floor. When asked if he had anything to say, he quletly shock his head and his eyes did not raise from the floor. For a moment all was quiet. Then Judge Neville commenced his speech of sentence. After glving some words of advice to Ballard, briofly reviewlng the careand commenting upon the necessity of enforclng the law of cap- ital punishment for the crime of murder, Jedge Neville said: ‘‘The eentence of the court is that you be taken to the county jail and kept tn close confinement until the 29th day of January, when be- tween the hours of 10 and 12 a, m. you shall be taken to an enslosure in the yard of the county jail, and there be hangaa by the neck until you are dead.” As the death sentence was spoken by -Judge Neville, pronouneed for the first time in 20 years in a Douglas county court of jaatice, there wasa profound stlence in the room. Ballard lifted his eyes imploringly to tho judge and then dropped them quickly agaln, ¢ may be scated,” ssid Judge Neville. The doomed man quiotly turned and resumed h's seat, apparently unmoved. Patrlck Gibson, charged with forgery, had nothing to say in his defense, and was sentenced to six years in the peniten tlary, and furthermore tentanced to pay a fine of $1 and costs. H. C. Phillips, another forger, stood up to recelve his sentence. Judge Neville fixed the penalty of hiscrime at six years in the penitentlary at hard labor and $L fine and costs of prosecation. No part of this sentence shall be made to Include the penalty of solltary confinement. Robert J, Skiles, the Councll Bluffs forger, who al.ng toward the close of the term entered a plea of guilty, was next called for sentence. Judge Neville ad- dretsod a short lecture to the prisoner, telling him of the many crlmes he had cammitted, his general worthless caresr and the shameful way In walch he had treated his friends who had been valnly trying to reform him for the past few years. He concludel by sentencing Skiles to eighteen months in the pent- tentlary at hard labor, Olars Thomae, the notorious negress who has time and sgain been In the lower courts for acts of larceny, stood up for mentence, having been convioted of a charge of stealing $500. “I have noth- ing to say,” she said, In reply to the for- mal question. ‘I did have something to say, bat it's too late now. I am not gullty, though. During the sub:equent sentences of the judge, Clara broke down and wept copiously, She received a sen- tence ¢f twelve months in the peniten- tiary. Lon Brown, convicted of grand lar- ceny, reccived a sentence of eighteen months at hard labor in the peniten- tlary. Leon Perro, a dark, swarthy [talian, with a villaloous look, was next called. He was convicted some timo ago, It may ba remembered by the public, of shoot- Ing with Intent to kill one Frank Muel- ler. He could not uanderstand a word cf Eoglish and an interproter wss sworn In to convey the sentence of the court to him, He made an explanation throngh the interpreter protesting his innocence, Judge Neville sentenced hlm to a term of eight years In the penlitentiary at hard labor. John Wileon, the crooked genius who attempted to blow Meadlmber's safe, stood up for sentence, *‘I have nothing to say why the court should not paes een- tence upon me. I wish, however, that you would be as lenfent with me as you can,” he eald, After dwelling for some time upon the helnous character of the orime of burglary and sife-breaking, Judge Nevllle sentenced him to lmprls- onment in the penitentiary for seven years, at hard labor, Peter Young,a villalaous looking negro was then sentenced, ‘‘Thisis the firat offence I have ever commltted,” he sald, “‘and on that account I ask the mercy of the court.” “I hope that you are tell- ing the trath,” replied the judge, *'but 1 have heard tbat you have beengullty of » number of crimss, one of them among the worst that a man can commit, I understand that at one time you nar- rowly oscaped lynching. You know what I refer to; perhaps you are gullty and perhaps you are not.” Young's sen was one of four years in the pe tlary at hard Jabor. Joseph Hart, convicted of grand lar- ceny, recelved a sentence of eighteen months at hard labor, Willlam Lyons, charged with and con- vivtéd of the crime agslnst nature, was sen ‘enced to fmprisonwent in the peni- tontlary for six years, Peter Lofgreen, who was convicted yestevday of forgery, will not be tenced untll Mondsy in order that his counsel may have time to file a motlon for a now trial, The counsel for Ballard jwill at once take steps to appeal his case to the su- preme court, As the prisouers were about to leave the court room Ballard pped up to Distrlet Attorney Eitelle, and, shaklog him by she hand, sald, “I am much |l ! obliged to you, - | plcious character 1 THE DAILY BEE---SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1885 Yoa have not sald one wrong word abont me daring the trial.” Darlng this term of court the following orlminals have been trled and convicted of the orlmes with which they are charged : Thomas Ballard, marder in the first degree.

When the presence of the notorlous outlaw be- came known, large crowds gathered at the depot, anxious to galn a gllmpse of the prlsoner. So dense wera the crowds In fact that the police were repeatedly compelled to disperse them. Some doubts wore expressed as to whether Wan would ever reach Carbon county alive. The deputies in charge exprassed an opinfon that an attempt would be wade to lynch him, as *“Blg Nosed George"” Parrott was lynched. He will be taken to Oarbon county for trial. There are two others of the gang who are still wanted by the deputy sheriff, and upon whose track they are prersing hard. Thete men are roaming through the northwestern country, leading the life of the *‘bloodthirsty bandlt.” It Is expected that they wlll scon ba captured. “‘The clrcumstances connected with the ctime for which Wan is belng carried through to Carbon county, Wyoming, form & very Interesting chapter of border life history,” esid a gentleman well posted on local lore a reporter, yesterday “It wss in August 1878 that a band of slx or eeven outlaws at tempted to wreck a Uni on Paclfi paesenger train forty miles east of Raw- lins, by pulling out & rail and laying 1t across the track. The trlck was dis— covered by a sectfon hand In time to avert the accldent, and a band of deputy sheriffs were put on the trail of the out- laws, Two scouts who were especially fitted for the work of deallng with such desperados as Wan and his men, were selected to track down the bandits, They succeeded in getting the trall without much trouble; found a spot which had been used asa camp by Wan and his men, Thinking that they had at length found a clue to the whereabouts of the outlaws the two com- menced to examine the sur- roandings closely, and while unconsclous of the slightest danger, they were fired upon in ambush by the deeperadoes, and killed. As you stated In your paper! nat night, **Dutch Charley” one of the gang wos captured a yesr or so later and lynched in Carbon county, while ‘‘Blg- nosed George” Parrot was lynched for making an attempt to escape from jail by bralniog the jallor with his hand-coffs.” J. T. Clark, at that time general super- intendont of the U. P. railway, recelved a polite telegraphio Invitation on the pight precediug the lynching from the people of Carbon county worded some- thing like thls: “Your presence ls requested at the necktie sociable to be given to-morrow mornirg, No flowers.” MONEY TALKS.
