SENTENCING TIIE CONVICTED I*lll HONF.HH
AN AFFECTING SCENE.
Special to the Daily Tikes by 8. k A. Line.]
Seale, Ala., May L—This morning
tin' court disposed of a few jail cases.
Then sent for the prisoners, who had
been convicted during the week.
They wore brought Into court by the
sheriffs, and were sentenced one at a
time. The scene was very solemn,
and when Worrell was called upon to
say whether he had anything to an
swer why the sentence of the law
should not be pronounced against
him, ho rose to speak; his voice
choked ; with some difficulty ho final
ly said that ho was in the hands of
the law that he was unconscious of
what ho did—never had any ill will
against any of the parties engaged in
the unfortunate affair for which he
was about to suffer. He was then
sentenced to ten’years in the Peni
tentiary.
Elland was then ordered to stand
up, and in reply to the same question
said t hat he doubted not he had hud
a fair trial; that he luid naught to
say against the judge or the jury who
had tried him - had no doubt they
discharged their duty as they con
ceived it. He had boon vigorously
prosecuted for which ho blamed
nobody; that in the unfortunate oe
eurrenee for which he had been tided
he acted in defence of himself his
own life was in imminent danger;
that he thought, at the time, of
his wife and seven small children of
their helpless condition if he should
be killed, and for their benefit more
than his own he struck to save his
own life; that the rencontre was sud
den; that he was very much excited;
that he had always loved Ids antago
nist, even up to tho very moment of
the difficulty : that he was of a hope
ful disposition his wife and children
were not so; lie thought, he had tho
fortitude to hear the situation, but it
was not so wit h them; they are much
the greater sufferers by it; that the
blow of his conviction would bear
heavily upon them; besides this,
they could not support themselves
without his assistance; that he com
mitted them to a generous public, I
: and trusted (hey would be protected
and not allowed to beg bread,
i The Judge addressed some fecl-
I ing remarks to him, telling him he
! had the sympathy of the Court and
j believed it was in the jury box. He
was then sentenced to twenty years
lin the penitentiary. His ease will be
I appealed. He will remain hero
{until Hie Supreme Court in July
: passes upon the ease on appeal.
Green Brower was sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary; Rog
ers Lynn and Lem Wright, to six
months’ hard labor for the county.
