SENTENOE UNOPBNED.
Aged Broker, Oonvicted of Defraud
ing State Through. Purloined
Bonds, Oannot Live Long.
Columbia,' June 24.-Aged, broken
hearted, hopelessly invalid and en
white haired Thomas J. Gibson, the
once well-to-do broker of this city,
who wa$ convicted at the last term of
the general sessio.ns court under an
indictment alleging the robbery of
the state through the disposition of
bonds that had already been paid
once, will probably never again be
strong enough to come before. the
court and hear read the sealed sen
tence which 'Was left for him, when
illness compelled his return to his
bed before the conclusion of his
trial.
When Judge Da.nzlcr in looking ov
er the docket this morning with a
view to closing up all matters thereon
for this term, called to the solicitor's
attention the scaled sentence that had
been left for Mr. Gibson at the pre
ceding term, Solicitor Timmerman
asked for a bench warrant for the
defendant so that he might be
brought into court to hear the son
tence. In stead of the defendant
there appeared in response his attor
ney, Judge Andrew Crowford.
Judge Crawford asked the indul
-ece of the court and of the solici
. r saying that his client was 75
.years of age, had been for years a
paralytic and, furthermore, had re
cently sustained serious injury from
a fall, which had kept him confined
to his bed constantly for the past
two months, so that, in his opinion
and in that of the defendant's phy
sician, Dr. T. M. DuBose, his condi
tion would be made worse and his lift
greatly imperilled were the state to
insist upon his appearance in court
at the current term. Judge Crawford
Aeclared that were his client physi
cally able to come he would have ap
peared voluntarily to abide the de
cree of the court ; but that present
indications were that lie would never
again arise from his bed.
Solicitor Timmerman said that the
state had no desire to compel Mr.
Gibson's attendance, if Ilhereby his
life would be imperilled, but that the
matter should 'be closed up and the
-state feared that should further de
lay be granted, the very contingency
of which Judge Crawford had spok
'en of his client-would intervene te
prevent altogether the opening of the
sentence. Mr. Timmerman said that
the state would provide every facility
the city of Columbia could afford, in
order that Mr. Gibson's journey tc
the courthouse might be made with
safety and comfort.
Judge Crawford renewed his plea
for indulgence. He said he could if
nocessary produeve a certificate
from Dr. DuBose, in support of hi
statement that Mr. Gibson's life
*would be seriously imperilled if he
'were moved. Both the solicitor and
the court agreed to let the sentenec
go unopened until still another term
if Judge Crawford would produce ir
court the requisite certificate frog
Dr. DuBose. Judge Crawford pro.
'inised to secure the certificate. In all
probability, therefore, the mattel
will not again be called up until the
September term. It is very probabk
thlat by that time the .necessity foi
opening the sentence will forevei
have been removed.

''When I war district attorney,'
said tJudge Sweeney of Shasta coun
ty, Cal., according to the WVoman's
Home Companion, '' I secured th<
econviction of Montana Jack, a high
wayman, who was something of
'humorist. When asked by the judg<
whether he had anything to say
against sentence being passed umpor
him, Jack admitted that he had n<
protest to make, but that he wouli
like to 'give a few words of advici
to the young men in the room. Pen
mission being granted, Jack said:
''"'Boys, my advice to you is t<
stick to whatever you are doin'. Don'
change your occupation, or you'l
never get along in the world. Look a'
me. I was a successful burglar foi
years, never got caught and collarei
lots of dough. Then I turned high
wayman, and got caught in my firs
old-up. And here I am, all the re
ult of chaniging my occupation
Vhatever you are, boys, stick to It.'
