The Sandy Rapist Gets Five Long: Years. JAMES AUSTIN ESCAPES WITH A FINE OF $200. '1 He la the Man Who Took a Shot at His Son. WHO WILL SUCCEED ANDERSON ON THE BENCH?

James Austin, the paving contractor, was tried a short time ago on the charge of as-saulting his son with intent to murder, and who was found guilty of an assault, appeared for sentence in the Third district court this morning. When asked if he had anything to say the. defendant answered in the negative, and Judge Zane said, "The as-sault was a very aggravated one, and such as no man should commit upon any one, particularly upon his own son. Tou will be fined $200 and costs." JEXKIX3 GETS FIVE TEARS. Ralph Jenkins, the young man who was recently convicted of rape committed upon Emily Jorgenson, a girl, at San-dy, was then called for sentence, and his at-torney, J. M. Hamilton, made a motion for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the evidence. The motion was argued briefly and overruled, and Jen-kins then came forward. The court paid: "The jury found you guilty of the crime of rape, and the penalty is serious. I regret very much that a young man of your age and connections should stand before this court convicted of a crime of this character. ri 1 . - l.aot n n 1 1. t J . kA ...... r nan i 1 i is imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of five years, and the sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned for that term." Who Will Succeed Jnrlge Anderson? The question as to who shall succeed Judge Anderson is one in which the mem-bers of the bar particularly and. the. people generally are interested, and there is much discussion to3ay over the merits of the vari-ous caddidates for the place, and their chances. Among the prominent applicants is E W. Tatlock, formerly of Iowa. He has strong indorsements and the Republican part of the Iowa delegation in congress will stand as a unit for him. Mr. Tatlock left school at the age of 18 and entered the Union army. He served for more than four years with General Noble, and his name is on no hospital record, nor was ho off duty but three weeks during his whole term of service. That he was retained by and in the active employ of no less than four railways and other corpora-tions before coming here is evidence of his ability. He is, as he has ever been, a straight Republican without any qualifica-tions, end has done good service for his party since coming to Utah. Probate Judge Bartch Is prominently spoken of in connection with, the place, and is strontrly indorsed bv the Salt Lake bar. T X- - I.' . K - ' ! 1 .,1 .... 4J...I. eriand of Provo both have many friends who are urging their claims to the position. Judare Anderson will arrive here towards the end of the week, and it is understood will at once engage in tho practice of law. A Mining Suit. Frank Hoffman nd Henry Denhalter have brought suit against the Old Jordan & South Galena Mining company and L. E. Iloldf n. Plaintiffs allege that they are the owners of the North Eldorado and other claims, the Oquirrh and Highland properties, at Bingham, and that on September 1, 1801, the defendants broke into the premises and extracted ores to the value of $50,000. Judgment is asked for this amount, and, pending the final determination of the case, that the defendants be enjoined from ex-tracting ores from within the surface bound-ary lines of the plaintiffs' claims, extended downward vertically. Brown & Henderson are the plaintiffs' at-torneys. Another Damags Suit. Joseph H. Slater has brought suit against the Union Pacific Railway company to re-cover damages for personal injuries. The plaintiff alleges that on Nov. 22, 1 890, while he was working about a private switch the defendant negligently and without warning backed a train upon the switch and the plaintiff was thrown down and one of his feet crushed. He asks damages in the sum of $15,000. Baldwin & Tatlock are the plaintiff's at-torneys. Court Notes. Thomas Parson has confessed judgment In favor of Midgley & Sons for $5.41. The accounts of United States Attorney Yarian were approved by Judge Zane this morning. George F. Root bss brought suit against A. F. Groves et al. to foreclose a mortgage for $1000.

Markt were both dispoted of in favor of Catady this morning. In the matter of the estate of Miller At-wood, the bond of Brown & Henderson, of $300 on appeal, was approved. Hymm T.

Judge Zane this morning gave notice that each morning hereafter, before proceeding with the trial of cases, be would devote half aa hour to bearing arguments on motions. Tbe grand jury resumed its labors this morning and it is understood that tbe case of Chtt Polmautier, charged with fornication, in which an order was recently made to re-submit, was first taken up. Some weeks ago Thb Times announced btat Judge Anderson's bead would shortly fall into the basket This was tbe first inti-mation which the public received that such action was contemplated by the adminis-tration, and certain individuals who labored under the delusion that they knew some-thing about the matter, indignantly Insisted that there was nothing in it The Times .w content to wait, knowing that its state-ltoj- ai cwould soon be proven, and tbe proof FLOSSIE IN COURT.! Irvine's Little Daughter Creates an Affecting Scene. The Unfortunate Man Clasps Her in His Arms and Both. Sob Everybody in the Court-Roo- m is Moved to Tears The Child Re-mains on Her Father's Knee Throughout the Session Innumerable Witnesses Tes-tify to the Defendant's Excellent Character. Licoi.x. Neb., Oct. 17. Special. Hall an hour before court opened the room was well filled with ladies. By the time proceed-ings opened there was a jam. After the jury took seats Irvine came in unaccom-panied. He looked calm, though suffering from a terrific strain. His friends were anxious to speak to him and many hands woro extended. With dignity he accepted the proffered kindness but no smile was upou Lis face. i. X. JJOllTOX, after being duly sworn, left the stand and shook hands with Irvine and then resumed his seat on the witness stand. He testrfled that he is bookkeeper for Lindsay & Co., merchant tailors, of Chicago. Ou May 24th Irvine came into the store and asked to have a draft for $500 cashed. That was more money than they had in the drawer. Witness told 11; defendant lie would take the draft to the and return the currency to him. The draft was refused at the bank because of the illegibility of the endorsement. He saw Irvine at the Wellington hotel next, and told him he would cash his per sonal check. Irvine had to write two, ' because the first was not readable. He noticed Irvine's eyes were not so bright as hey were usually. He was very nervous. N. Z. 8NELX, county attorney and prosecutor in the pres-ent case, was the next witness called for the Jcfense. With much reticence he testified he had heard C. C. L'pham, Mr. Jackson, Offl- - cer McWilliams, Chief of Police Otto, Cole-man, Smith and fothers testify at the coro-ner's inquiry. The witness identified a page from the register of Hotel if Irvine was the crazy man that came in that morning. At this juncture Mrs. E. C. Abbott walked into the court room with little Flossie. MR. IRVIXE'S L1TTTE DAUGHTER. The latter did not expect to see his little darling and her presence completely un-manned him. She fairly jumped into her father's arms and his sobs were distinctly heard throughout the court. There were no dry eyes in the court. The long, loving em-brace of both father and daughter and the shaking frames of each was the best evidence possible of the love bond existing on both sides. The sobs and embraces were continued throughout the session. When the first excitement of greet-ing was over, Irvine called Flossie's atten-tion to Mr. Critchlow, who sat beside him. She extended her hand, but in an instant her sobs broke forth afresh and her hand with-drew and buried in her father's shoulder. During the entire session Flossie sat on her father's knee and he continuously gazed Into her blue eyes, breaking down every now and then in sobs. Judge Hall, the clerks and counsel could hardly refrain from lachrymal indulgence. This reception goes further to frustrate the efforts of the prosecution to show the defendant did not in reality care for his family than any other evidence that can be introduced. B. D. SMITH, witness for the prosecution, by de- - fense, testified that he thought the defend-ant was out of his mind. w. w CARDER, captain of police, was at the station on the morning of the tragedy. He has known de- - Grace and had the same in his possession long enough to examine be saw the register page. They were givfcn it. He also identified Mrs. Irvire's confes- - lion, which he had read at tha fame time Xo him by Chief Otto. He- stw br.th several ! limes since. lie bad a copy oi the confession j made a few days after the tmeedy.. The .witness was then compctled'to i3c'ntify five telegrams, a note book and o'.her papers as being the same as tiiose from which the witness had made a copy. Sneil cross-examine- d Liinaelf, but brought out no new facts. J. M. riOKV.TTS of Salt Lake City, form-- r justice, of the peace of Lincoln, testified t!,at h; became acquainted with Irvine first iu lbs, and af-terwards very intimately. His testimony was very emphatic as to Irvine's character for beinar a moral, peaceable and law-abidin- g citizen at Salt Lake. On the night pre vious to his departure for the East, he saw the witness, and his conversation was chfcrful and happy and his mind peace-ful, dwelling a great deal on his anticipation of spending the summer with bis family on Ihe coast. He seamed to be very much to his farni'.-- . He saw the same re- - fendant very weil, but when he came to the station he did not recognize the defendant for some little time; usually could tell him a block away. When he came in the station he was moaning, exclaiming, "My God, my God," and when taken to the cell asked what he had done. When told that he had shot Montgomery, he answered: "My God, hayji I done that??..!., j :f OFFICER Xl'WILLIAMS, who made the arrest of Irvine, testified to the arrest. On the way to tho station he asked witness if he had a gun. Upon re-ceiving an affirmative answer he asked him if he would not please shoot him. He re-peated the request, stating he had nothing to live for. A. R. TALBOT was intimately acquainted with the defend-ant when living in Lincoln. He saw him on Saturday after the tragedy at the peniten-tiary. He came from Omaha to see him, went into the room, took him by the hand and asked how he was getting along. Ho made no reply whatever; 6tared at the wit-ness; his eyes looked like a dead man's eyes. It was the day of the preliminary j hearing. He walked with him to the street car. When about 300 feet .olver at Salt Lake City and he knew when he purchased it, because of numerous holdups there. The witness borrowed it one night when Irvine bought it to carry it going ho:nj at nizht. McOul-ioug- h cross-examine- the witness and at-tacked the A!ta club but failed. WILLIAM II. DOROAN, rontrtctor at the penitentiary, knew the de-fendant live or six years; saw him on thu morning of the tragedy between 7 and 8 o'clock at the corner of Eleventh and O streets; he passed the witness without speaking. He locked strange and worried. He knew his reputation to be always good while in Lincoln. F. T. HIATT of Salt Lake testified he knew Irvine quite intimately since 1S90. His reputation for morality, for being peaceable, law-abidin- g and a respected citizen generally was very good. On the evening before his departure was in a very happy mood, anticipating a delightful trip with his wife and little daughter through Maine, Nova Scotia and other Eastern cities. He ex-pected to be gone sixty days and said he miirht be irone four months. He carried the from the door of the penitentiary, he said three times: "My daughter," then again, "Oh, my God, my daughter." Then again he said: "Dolph, what have I done; what have they got me here for?" Witness replied: "Well, you are here for trying to protect your family." Witness was asked a to the character of the defendant when living in Lincoln, The answer was: "It was gord, excellent; much above the average of reputable citizens." HENRT IRVINE, resident of Warren county, uncle of defend-ant, knew him personally from shortly after birth. Witness personally knew a sister of defendant's grandfather who was insane. MtCullough objected to this question and answer. The same information was oh- - tained by a different form of question. Wit-ness knew,she was kept under confinement when witness was a small boy and remained so for a number of years until her death. Speaking of Mrs. Irvine's confession to her husband. Lawyer Abbott said: "She acknowledged to Irvine that one night at the Grace hotel, in Chicago, while Mont-gomery was in the room, little Flossie, their eight-year-ol- d daughter, woke up and found him there. Sho woke un excited nil frr. ing, and she said to her mother: 'Mamma, mamma, you don't love this man, do you? Papa has always been good to you, if you would only be good to him." There the lit-tle child, in the presence of her mother, was a witness to the transaction between the mother and Montgomery. plan for a long journey with him for some time and delighted to discuss it with his friends. He knew Irvine bought the revolver at tho time of the mur-der of John T. King by hold-ups. Tho defendant had a deep and abiding affection for his wife and daughter. s. J. WUITMORE. the day clerk of the hotel, was In the office at the time of the shooting, and saw the de-fendant after shooting in the balcony, when he appeared to be perfectly dared, and made no intelligible remarks. He did not know the witness when he epoke to him, but kept constantly running bis hnnds over his face and through his hair. Depositions were read by Wheadon from residents of Marion. Ind., testifying to the good character as a moral, law-abidin- g and peaceful citizen. Adjourned till 2 o'clock. THIS AFTERNOON as early at 1 o'clock the courtroom was crowded with ladies. Irvine entered sur-rounded by a dozen friends from Salt Lake and Lincoln. At 2 o'clock the session was resumed. MISS KATE M ALLOT, an employe of the Lincoln hotel, on the morning of the tragedy was at work in the office when Irvine asked for a room. She beard him ask for the room. Looked up, saw him and thought ho was a crazy man. She-- saw him afterwards In the washroom standing apparently thinking, and she thought he was foolish to be standing there. Cross-examine- d by McCullougt The clerk talked to him but Irvine turned hit back and paid no attention to the clerk's answer. He had a grip, cane and umbrella in his hand; did not hear Clerk Richards' 1 answer; the was taken up with staring at Irvine, and mad the remark at the time to Mr. Richards: "That man Is crary."

Chairman Hiles then faced the delegates and delivered a speech replete with "Ameri-canism,' "dark days," "we are the people," "the flag still waves," and "we will keep our lamps trimmed and burning." There was considerable "Hail Columbia, Happy Land" in the words of the junior par tner of Judge Powers. "To what purpose," said he, "is the discussion oft he tariff ; to what purpose is the discussion of V . O. C ARRIS, Ct. A. Burgas, C. T. Kelson. MELOT FOR COUXTT CLERK. C. E. Stanton nominated H. V.

The gathering of Liberal clans at the Cul-le- n was a molasses-in-Januar- y process. They came together slowly and the combined efforts of the Liberal drum corps and Den-halter- 's band brought out 205 Liberals to join in the procession to the theater. At 11:40 the Liberal drum corps beat "Dixie," and then the band opened a 6-- 8 march by Ripley. The sidewalk began to show signs of life and a few people stopped in front of the hoteL Then Joe Lippman came along and distributed liberal badges to those who cared for them. Fire Chief Stanton ifcted as marshal of the day.. At 5 minutes to 12 .o'clock the parade started. It was got in motion by Harry Ford, the bulky drum major, who said: "Why don't you fellelsget a move on you?" The crowd took the hint and tbe drum corps led off for the theater. Following the drum corps came ninty-sl- x men, prominent among whom were J Jacob Schultz, Jake Greenewald, jr., W. O. Edwards, Mike Sul-livan, C. E. Stanton. Mike Fitzcrerald and Watermaster Ryan. Then came Denhalter's band. The second division of the parade was led by Alderman Simondi, Max Lipman, B. K. Blocb, Joe Enzensperger, Jack Daveler, ex-Jud- Kesler, Bill Showell, "San Pete" Armstrong, Editor William Nelson and Law-yer Theodore Burmester. The last man in the narade walked with his heal bowed down. It was Ogden Hiles. The clock in the Culmer steeple was striking twelve as Jake Greenewald threw open the doors or the theater and cordially welcomed the delegates. free coinage, when the paramount question is whether we shall have a country tit for a white man to live in?'1 The sentiment was loudly applauded, es-pecially by William Showell and Water Master Ryan. Chairman Hiles looked hard at Charley Glenn, who doesn't want the county attor-ney nomination, and said he hoped that when tho convention adjourned there would be no sore spots to heal. Charley blushed a rosy, rosy blush and signified that " 'e 'oped so, too." At the conclusion of Mr. Hiles' speech the convention applauded again and Charley Jackson arose to his feet and pointed his in-dex finger at the fourth button on Mr. Hiles vet. "Mr. Chairman!" shouted Mr. Jackson. "Mr. Jackson!" replied the chairman. "I move you that a committee on cre-dentials, to consist of one delegate from each city precinct and four delegates from the outside precincts, be selected." Colonel Ed Kelly seconded the motion and it prevailed. The following committees were selected: Credentials Jacob Moritz, C. M. Jackson, W. T. Benson, John T. Acton, J. S. Daveler, O. F. Davis, R. G. Ligg, R. L. Conway, E. F. Jones. Permanent Organization and Ordtr of Busi-ness J. W. Houston, L. C. Johnson, I. J. Starbuck, E. F. Colburn, Frank Hoffman, F. 1m Cushing, E. W. Genter. H.

Campbell, William Nelson. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS. It was ordered that any precinct wherever a Liberal vote bad been cast be accorded representation on the floor. Judge Goodwin sent word to the conven-tion that he could not find time to act as chairman of the committee on platform and resolutions. Charley Stauton, the oracle of the city hall, paid a neat tribute to the powers that be by moving that Col. William Nelson be recommended as chairman of the committee and the honor was conferred upon him by unanimous vote. Jakey Greenewald gracefully decline! to serve on the committee on resolutions. Charley Glenn moved that "Neils Han-son" of Draper be admitted as a delegate. A voice said it was "Hans Neilson." Charley said he knew it was "one or the other," and the convention laughed. William Nelson stepped into the breach and said the motion was out of order. He moved as an amendment that Draper pre-cinct be added to the list of precincts of the convention and allow the committee on cre-dentials to report on the eligibility of Mr. "We Are the People." The old Liberal Flambeau club will be reorganized. The Liberal drum corps of today is a sad fragment of the Liberal drum corps of 1S90. Ogden Hiles is a good presiding officer. Tho "bo6s" was sadly missed. That was a cruel slap in the face given ex-Jud- Kesler by the chairman of his pre-cinct delegation. "And the band played Annie Laurie" at the Cullen house. C. H. Skewes want3 it understood that he is not a candidate for a place on the Liberal ticket aa corner. It looked like George Olson for sheriff at adjournment. Bill McQueen, who never grows weary of place-seekin- wanted the nomination for sheriff. "Der gang" was well represented in the convention. Dark horses sprang Into existence like mushrooms after a shower. The campaign will be opened Wednesday night by the Liberals in Sugar House ward. The Liberals will hold a rally Thursday night. The decorations at the theater were not expensive. They were a repetition of "the samo thing over again." Judge Powers has addressed a letter to the Liberals asking them to stand by their colors. Hanson. The colonel s motion prevailed. The convention then adjourned to 3 o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. Slow in Getting to Work Reports of Com-mittees Corrected. At 3:15 o'clock Chairman Hiles called the convention to order and asked that "gentle-men present refrain from smoking." The chair called for the report of the com-mittee on credentials. The secretary read the credentials as of-fered by the committee. The committee recommended that the dele-gations be allowed to fill any vacancies. North Point and South Jordan precincts were not represented In the convention. After a whole lot of corrections and amendments to the report of the committee on credentials, the report was adopted. ON ORDER OF BUSINESS. The report of the committee on order of business is as follows: To the Temporary Chairman of the Liberal County Conreniion: We your committee on per-manent orirsnizatiion and order of business re-port as follows: For permanent chairman, William Nelson.

Chairman Nelson was escorted to the chair amid applaute. lie made a brief speech and said the Liberals would elect their ticket. PLATFORM.

PROCESSION HALF A MILE LONG. Sutherland, YVhitecotton, Ilolbrook, John Henry Smith and Others Address an Overflow Meetlns On th Salient Issues of the Cam-paig- n Utah County Kepublicanw are Confident of Success! on the l'.iilith of October. The Republican county convention at Springville last Saturday wound up with a ratification rally that beat anything ever seen outside of Salt Lake City. At 7 o'clock in the eveninir the clans be can musterine- - around the courthouse, colors flying, half a dozen different bands playing, torches blaz-ing, and finally the shouting, singing, hur-rahing crowd was gotten into line, the word to march was given, and the splendid pro-cession, HALF A MILE LONG, moved off down the street to the inspiring musie of the bands. The sidewalks were thronged with enthusiastic spectators, who helped to swell the Republican slogan, "Cannon, Cannon, Frank J. Cannon," until the very hills took np the retrain and flung it back again. After an hour of marching and countermarching" the procession marched into the courtyard and. hen came THE RUSH FOR SEATS upstairs in the courthouse. In about ten. minutes the room was crowded to the stairs, and a struggling throng of five or six hun-dred was still clamoring for admittances Then someone shouted "Sutherland, Suther-land!" and in a moment the cry was taken up by the crowd until a platform was impro-vised in the yard and Hon. George Suther-len-d, Mr. Whitecotton and others made their appearance and were greeted with cheers. , MR. SUTHERLAND , was in his happiest vein and made one of his characteristic speeches, clear, logical and comprehensive, bristling with, witty expressions and humorous illustra-tions, which the audience applauded to . the echo. He compared , the Democracy on tho tariff question to the schoolma'm, who when asked by the board of trustees whether she taught that the earth was round or flat, upheld that she taught it either wav the neonle wished. The Democracy, he said, told the eastern manufacturers that the tariff on wool would, surely bring prices down and ruin them, whilethey told the western farmers that the same tariff would raise the prices of manu-factured articles to ruinous figures. They told the manufacturers the tariff would rob , . them for the farmers bentvit, and tSiey toll tbe farmers it would rob them for the akS -- of the manufacturer. MR. WHITECOTTOX next made a telling address on the tariff and the effect free trade would have on the country. He roasted the local Democracy"---- until the smell of burning flesh pervaded the atmosphere and tbe very few Democrats present groaned almost in anguish. MR. HOLBROOC was next called on, and made one of the best addresses of the evening. He said the Democracy of Utah was like Billy Mahonoa and the colored man on the road to heaven. It had ridden the people here to the very gate of their desires, but had invariable dis-mounted and entered that gate alone.' As Mr. Holbrook finished. JOHN HENRT SMITH came forward amid the cheers of the audience. He made an eloquent and telling address, re-viewing the record of the two parties and snowing mat ine people oi nan naa always been Republicans in their convictions, but had been the bondsmeu of the Democracy under a mistaken sense of gratitude for what that party was always going to do for them, but never had done and never would. IN THE COURTHOUSE in the meantime, there was a repetition of what was going on outside. The room was gorgeously decorated with flags, flowers and bunting, and back of the stage hunar the portraits of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harri-son, Blaine, McKinley and other great Re-publican leaders, and was packed to the stairs. The stage was occupied by Messrs. Booth, John Henry Smith, Boyer and many other prominent Republicans, and a num-ber of ladies. John Henry Smith, Mr. Booth, Hon. George Sutherland and others made splendid address is, dealing with, the political issues of the day, and. were heartily applauded, as were also the Glee club and the band. The meet-ing finally adjourned with three cheers for the speakers, the party and its candidate, Frank J. Cannon. It there has been any little, lingering, sneaking hope in the consumptive bosom of the Democracy that they still have tho cinch on Utah county, that Springville rally must have plucked it rudely out and buried it miles deep in the yawning chasm of Ob-livion, which will receive the other political remains of that party in Utah on the bth of next November. SIDE ISSUES. George Sutherland was in the procession shouting for Cannon. George is always at the front when there is something to do for his party. Booth of Provo and Ilolbrook of Lehi car-ried a torch like veterans, and kept step with the six different bands all at once. Tuninans is one of the bes; political speakers in the territory. The crowd gets ready to cheer whenever he mount3 the ros-trum. Mr. Holdaway of Provo said to The Times man that Provo was as surely Republican as the Democracy is a fraud, which is beyond question. The Rio Grande Western flyer, which leaves Springville at llr05 p. m., is a "flyer" and no mistake. "The Democrats are weeping now, Thev're feeling verv sore; For they see at last" they've got to stand away; For Young Utah now is solid. With Frank Cannon to the fore, And they're bound to get there on election day. So sang the glee club, and, if appearances go for anything, so it will be in Utah county, anyway. - POLITICAL DIP0RT.

Tomorrow afternoon the joint city and county building committee will meet, and it is expected that final action will be taken at that time upon the proposition to complete the fireproofling of the city and county building. There Ij certainly no reason for further delaying action on this most import-ant matter, for the committee will have be-fore it all the data needed as to cost, etc., and it bas been clearly demonstrated through The Times tt at the community is unanimously in favor of having this mag-nificent structure mads fireproof through out. A prominent contractor from Port-land, Oregon, who wae In the city last week, was amazed to learn ihat there was any question as to tbe advisability of making the building fireproof.' He says that in Oregon, any country town, putting up a structure costing one-ba- lf what this will cost, would firtt of all make it fire-proof. The architects, Messrt. Monheim, Proudf oot & Bird, are every day accosted by prominent citizent and taxpayers who de-sire to exprets themselves as in favor of the proposed improvement If these individuals had called upon members of the committee, in whose hands the matter rests, all would have been settled before this.
