Penal Farm Sentence is Suspended By Court.

Monticello Journal. Walter Archer was brought before Judge Wasson this morning charged with stealing zinc from the Monon railway. He had pleaded guilty to the charge before E. G. Smith, in the justice court, and was bound over,to the circuit court for trial. Judge Wasson sentenced the boy to the state penal farm and fined him $1 and costs. He was ordered to pay back to the railroad the money obtained from .the sale of the zinc, and promised to attend church and Sunday school every Sunday. Owing to Archer’s good reputation and the fact that this was his first offense, the sentence to the penal farm was suspended.
