Harry Daley, convicted of the murder of Harry Kenny, was yesterday sen tenced by Judge Gantenbein to be hanged on Friday. January 29. at the State Penitentiary at Salem. John H. Stevenson, attorney for Daley, imme diately after sentence was pronounced, asked the court for the length of time in which to file a motion for a new trial. This motion will probably be tiled today. Daley did not betray the slightest emotion throughout the pro ceedings. He stood perfectly still, in tently watching the court. At the con clusion of the sentence he walked steadily out of the courtroom with the Sheriff! The crime of which Daley was con victed was the murder of Harry Kenny, a saloonkeeper, November 16. The trou ble arose over Kenny's refusal to re employ Daley as bartender or to ad vance a certain sum of money which Daley claimed was due him.
