Judge Boyd sentenced him to five years' imprisonment in the Fed oral penitentiary at Atlanta.

The women who wero victimized by those cherry tree swindlers will not get hack it dollar of their money, and this is the hardest feature of the case. Under the order of the court, tho #5,000 which the defendants had paid to the clerk was to bo refunded to them, hut applied to he payment of the costs and fines. 1'ho costs amount to #1,400 and he linos to #3,000. The remain ler, #000, is to go to the Treasury of tho United States. So ends the case of the endless otter chain cherry tree swindle. IVo men in jail and three pay- ' ng out cost tines, but none of it i roes to the women who, with ink! md pen, worked up the business or them. ??- ft ? stn/ts (fir.
