BROTHER TAKES HOLDUP BLAME, BOTH CONVICTED

Mills Pair Sentenced to 10-25 Years; Third Man Also Draws Term.

we brothers, the younger of whom entered a guilty plea to two charges of robbery in Criminal Court, but defended his brother who was accused in one of them, will begin serving sentences of 10 to 25 years today or tomorrow. A third man, found guilty of participating in one of the rob- . beries, was sentenced yesterday to ' 10 years. The brothers were Russell B. Mills 21, of the Colonial Hotel, and Jonathan Richard Mills, 25, of 22251: E. Washington St. Both were first offenders. Russell entered pleas of guilty to robbing Howard Abdon, 322 N. Arsenal Ave. of $40, and of robbing the Adam Hat Store near the Circle of $18 last March. He was sentenced to 10 to ' 95 years on each count, the sentences to run concurrently. Ernest Deweise, 31, was found guilty of taking part in the Abdon robbery, and received =a 10-year ' sentence at the State Prison. He was said by William H. Faust, attorney for Jonathan, to be a second offender. Exonerates Brother During Jonathan's trial, Russell testified that his brother did not participate in the hat shop robbery . and that Jonathan had followed Russell into the store without knowledge that the younger boy was robbing the manager, George Christianson. Judge Frank P. Baker refused to amend his finding after a plea for leniency by Mr. Faust.

|Lake will have an enrollment

“This older boy was leading a life of industry,” Mr. Faust said. “He | , had assumed responsibility of a | family. I have never before asked for leniency, but I ask one more chance for this boy. I believe that the testimony has shown he was led astray by his younger brother. It showed that Russell was the dominant one of the pair. I think the ends of justice would be served better if Jonathan were given one chance.” Jonathan's wife, who had held his

» hand during the trial, sobbed on his | shoulder as the judge denied the | plea. “I haven't reversed a robbery verdict in the seven years I've been on | this bench,” Judge Baker said. “The people apparently don't like | the way I've done things and they have taken a change of venue from | ' me beginning Jan. 1. After that «+ time. I don't care what they do. . “But I am going out as I came in | —believing that in case they rob | they must pay.” “May I ask,” Mr. Faust said, “that | you send Russell to another institu- | tion in order to keep the brothers | apart? Russell is willing to waive the statute in order to go to the

., State Prison.”

The judge granted the request, remarking that Russell probably would be returned to the reformatory because he is under 30. Testimony of Mr. Christianson that both brothers helped tie him up was disputed by the Kahh Building elevator operator, who said he
