Brooklyn, February 20.—John Y
jlcKsne the convicted Gravesend
political boss, was sentenced his
Arning by Justice Willard BarUett.
; n the court of oyer and terminer, to
B ix years’ imprisonment in the state
prison at Sing Sing
The sentence was a great surprise
[0 every one. It was exqected that th
urv’s recommendation to mere
rould induce Justice B.rtlett to be
pore lenient.
When the judge pronounced sen
€nce, McKane turned deathly pal
ro d clutched the railing before him
ind tears rolled down his cheeks.
Justice Bartlett took his seat on the
)( >nch at 10:11 o'clock McKane had
Ln brought from Haymond street
ail as early as 9 o'clock. His counsel
pived there at 10 o'clock sharp
Flier had to elbow and squeeze their
lay through the biggest crowd that
las ever assembled at the court house
k this city, When the lawyers got in
jde it developed that McKane had
■cured additional counsel in the per
In of Colonel Edwin C. James,
■ New York. '
I Mr, James did all the talking for
Mu, eondemued man this morning,
■e made motions fur a new trial, ar- [
■st of judgment, suspension of judg
ment and for twenty days' time to
■epare exceptions for a stay. Justice
■rtlett denied all of the se motions.
■Then Colonel James made a long
Bea for mercy. McKane listened
nth downcast eyes and flushed face,
■ter the plea was finished, E. M.
■epard, for the state, asked that a
■g sentence be pronounced. Clerk
■true then asked McKane the usual
■estion: “Have you anything to say
■n sentence should not be passed?• ‘
■McKane arose, sciezed the ruil-
■ with his le f t hand and iu •
■bling voice paid: "I don’t
■ow whether I have anything to
■ much.
■ am not guilty, I never did any-
Hng wrong in my life. I had
■hiogtodo last election with

put his right hand in h 8 p eke’,
i'heu with lifted head and closed
eyes he listened.
The voiie of Justice Bartlett
broke the silei.ee, ‘Tam not at
liberty," he said in a tone of in
tensity, "to disregard the recom
mendation of the jury for mercy.
Nevertheless, in passing sentence
I cannot overlook tne groat gravity
of the crime of which this defend
ant has been convicted.
The fact ia that he disobeyed
the laws is the more matter of mo
ment. for the reason that he is the
intelligent man who exercised
wide authority and who knew, what
the laws was.
This aggravates the offense. The
sentence should not be light lest,
it could not be a proper punish
ment, and on the other hand it
should not be so severe as to ex
cite The sentence of
the court is that you be confined
in the state prison at Sing Sing
for the term of six years."
As .Justice Bartlett spoke the
prisuor’s face had gradually grown
whiter and as the m r is, "s.x
year- 1 /' fell on his ears his coun
tenance turned paild • He started
to go to his chair with his eyes
wtill closed.
As he felt his way g dong like a
man stricken blind by the severity
of the sentencej Sheriff Buttling
took him by the arm and help.-d
him into a seal.
Then the courtroom burst into
an uproar The court officers and
the judge vainly endeavored to re
store order. The lawyers tried to
talk to the court but they coulp
■ not be heard.
Sheriff Buttling took the pris
nor into a side room and kept him
there until a squad of policemen
cleared the halls. After that he
took him to the Sheriff’s office and
then to jail.—Constitution.

C BIFFIN, Feb. 15, — To the Edi
tor of the Tvle, raph : The follow
ing communication was sent to the
Atlanta Constitution, but they re
fused to publish it. Please give it
space and oblige:
"Griffin, Fob, 14. —Editor Con
stitutijn: In your report of Mr.
Atkinson’s speech at Forsyth in
I the Constitution of Friday last
there were two statements which,
! ::i the interest of truth and fair
ness, should be corrected.
"First, you represent Mr. Atkin
son as making an attack on the
‘Atlanta ring.’ This is not true.
He made no such reference. IL
did declaim against the methods
of the Atlanta politicians. To the I
people of Atlanta at large he paid
a high tribute and one that any
patriotic, public spirited citizen of
Atlanta would have been proud to
hear,
"Second, in your editorial com
ment upon Mr. Atkinson’s speech
you took occasion to say that the
audience which gathered to hear
him was a small one, implying
that there was very little interest
on the part of the people to hear
him. The court house was well
filled, chairs being placed in the
aisles to accommodate those who
could not find seats, and the col
ored people present weri requested
to occupy the extreme rear seat,
which they willingly did, in order
that those standing in the aisle aud
doorway could be seated.
"I was prestut and heard the
speech throughout, and the facts
herein given will be vouched for
by many others.
"I do not suppose so prominent
a journal as the Constitution will
refuse to print this correction, as a
matter of simple justice to the pub
lic, even if it cannot afford to d"
Mr. Atkinson a favor.
Very respectfully,
"Observer.”
