BENNETT THOMPSON
GETS MICE
Jpillje liagley Impoaes Penalty at
10:10 Saturday Mornlnif
PRISONM PROTESTS HE IS INNOCENT
Claimed Time Would Prove Some one
I'Ue Wit the Perpelralor
ennett Thompson, convicted of
the murder of Mrs. Helen Jen
nings, of Tualatin, was Sentenced
to a life term of imprisonment at
the penitentiary by Judge Geo.
Bagley, Saturday morning at
0:10 o'clock. The prisoner was
brought to the court room by
Sheriff lteeves ard Deputy Geo.
Alexander. Thompson waspHe,
but self-possessed. Ulon being
asked if he had anything to say
before sentence was pronounced
fie said "I am not in not guil
ty, and time will show it."
Judge Bagley then said: i ou
have been tried by twelve con
scientious Jurors and after hear-
ng the evidence they have found
you guilty, iou naa me as
sistance of able counsel. It be-
KnmAii mv rt it t v In imtxisft sen-
lence upon you, incic ia uuv
one penalty to impose. You are
sentenced to serve the term of
your natural life in the State
penitentiary at haiem.
The Sheriff and Deputy there-
upon removed Thompson to the
jail. Sheritt Koeves tooK tne
arm of the prisoner as thev pass
ed down the stairs and Thomp
son made some feeble protest to
which the shertif made a re
joinder.
Oliver Huston, son ot Attor
ney b. 1$. irnsion. was present
n court and asked for 00 dajs in
which to file a bill of exceptions,
which was immediately granted
by the Court.
There is no necessity to ever
try the Itistman case unless tins
case is reversed, and in all like-
ihood this is the last chapter in
the case. His attorneys may
move for a new trial, and may
appeal to the Supreme Court.
Thompson's conviction has met
with the general approval of the
b'g audience that attended the
trial throughout, and there were
but very few Mho but felt that
he would be found guilty. The
episode of the shirts was the cap-
sheaf in the evidence, and it has
been learned that there w as not
a single juror but who was sat
isfied of the guilt of the de
fendant after he admitted the
identification of the two gar
ments given by Mrs. Clark to
Mrs. Lyons, and by Mrs. Lyons
in turn to Martha Thompson.
Sheriff J. E. lteeves conveyed
Thompson to Salem Sunday,
leaving hereatll:15in the morn
ing. C. W. ltedmond drove the
auto, and Thompson was taken
into the warden's office at 2:40.
He knew the ropes, and without
a word of instruction commenced
to divest himself of his citizen
clothes. Ten minutes later the
lock was turned on the murderer,
and. as he expressed it enroute.
he was safe in the big house,
the criminal jargon for the pent
tentiary. Thompson was hand
cuffed only while making the
trips, his legs being allowed their
freedom. Sheriff lteeves sat
with him in the rear seat a seat
always preferred by Thompson,
according to his own evidence on
the stand. He talked freely of
the trial enroute. but always
evaded Sheriff lteeves' queries
when asked to explain certain
testimony. He claimed he was
innocent at all times, and said
time would prove it. He showed
neither sense of shame nor hu
miliation at his position, and
made no effort to hide the man
acles while being driven to the
pen.
He is now safe, along with
Jack Kastor, the safe cracker.
Thompson told Sheriff Reeves
that he was held at Los Angeles
six months in the county jail for
a "job" down South, of win :h
he claimed he was innocent.
