Prisoner Expected Clemency After Her Confession, Which Could Not Be Corroborated— Imprisonment Indeterminate. Marle Layton, the confessed defaulter of $37,000 from the local office of the United States Playing Card Company, dropped from her chair to-day as if shot when sentenced to an indeterminate term of not more than five years nor less than one year by Judge Foster, in the Court of General Sessions. She was carried from *the court-room to the ‘ombs by court officers, and it was nearly half an hour before she recov- ered consciousness under the care of the prison physician. When the young woman entered the court-room she expected clemency. She had made a confession of gullt impll- cating officers of the company, had turned over what cash she had left tion and had promised to make further financial amends. Lawyers Kirschberg and Limberger, of her counsel had made long pleas for her. But DistrictAttorney Sandford told the Court that her confession, in which she alleged that certain officers of the Company were re: ble for her embezzlement and _s! the pre- fits, could not be confirmed, Belonged to “Cinch Club.” ‘Mr. Sandford sald that eo far as his “Bome of the directors of the Unitea mpany," said Mr. Limberger, “formed a club whicn Futufita 3.
