ALMSTRHNGISGUILTY. Corrnpt Rank Case -liiror Sentenced For IS Months For ConteulpL JUDGE BAKER’S COMMENT. 4a-B.tTr.ea jStahmird VV.lv.r BxanafnaHou on th. CUarg* of ffan.plraey and FnruUhe. a Mew lluaul Fendiui; the Urn nd Jury Ir.va.tlgatlaa - Rnn.wal of the Trial —flrv.rnl Slate New*. Indianapolis, May 1.-*-Alvin Armstrong, the Lawsenee county federal juror who a week age negotiated with Defendant Coffin in the famous bank case for a verdiet es acquittal or a hanging of the jury, now languishes in jail as a convict under sentence of 18 months in the northern prison, where he will We taken today or tomorrow. His conviction was for contempt of conrt, and the prosecution laid before the judge the details of Armstrong's plans as outlined by Frank O. Stannard, the go-between. Armstrong made no defense save to introduce witnesses to prove a previous good character. In no other way did he or his attorneys attempt to condone the act by which he offered to violate his oath as a juror, and when the arguments were concluded Judge Baker passed the foregoing sentence, stating, nowever, that it should be without work. Armstrong appeared totally indifferent during the proceedings ' and as he was bping take® to jail said: x--,r VTeii.|he judge saldt-? didKjL_hg**-ifc* work. I * In pronouncing sentence upon Armstrong the judge said: He should have reflected that if there is any one’s presence, except the very presence of God, where virtue and honesty and fidelity to one’s obligation as a man are required, it is where the solemn interest of the citizen is being adjudicated I suppose the reason the United Suites congress lias never put upou the statute books a law creating the erime of bribery or the attempt to bribe on the part of a juror—the attempt to accept a brilie on the part of a juror—was because it was supposed that sort of an offense, like the offense of piracy? was one that was hardly likely to be committed. While 1 feel thus with reference to the character of the crime on one hand, I cannot but feel a compassion for the wife, and family, and friends, but however strongly I may feel it, it would be misplaced if allowed to interfere with such performance of my duty as would make the crime of the juror a thing that should be hereafter indulged. If it should come to be believed by the body of our people that courts would condone or tolerate the perversion of justice by corrupt means or practices, the last hope of our institutions would vanish. Ou the charges of conspiracy Armstrong and Stannard each waived a preliminary hearing and were held to the federal grand jury in the sum of $4,000, a new bond being required and given by Stannard. The bank case was renewed this morn ing with the work of securing a new jury. ’ ' Wanted to Burn to Death. A Brazil, Ind., May I.—Mrs. Thomtim of Knightsville was carried from her* burning home yesterday, but she fought and pleaded to be allowed to return. It is believed that Mrs. Thornton, who has been alone much of late, has become demented, and while in such a condition set tire to the house and sat down to await death in the flames.
