When Thurlow W. Parker asked Cir cuit Judge Fraser to give him the maxi mum penalty for forgery In Court yes- . terday morning he was well aware that the granting of . the ' request meant he would spend 20 , years within prison walls. He learned the maximum before appearing for sentence. Bcrangest of all, his request was in large measure due to the knowledge that, hla father had , expressed the desire since his conviction that he "be given 20 years." . Nevertheless the boy, for he la only 21 years of age, is now glad that Judge Fraser, imposed a sentence of only five years, Ua spoke feelingly of his sad predicament and the effect on his fam ily, this morning.. He declares that his intention la to Jead the life ; of an' honest man when his term In the pent tentlary expires and says he hopes other young men will profit by the fearful con sequences, of hla errors. i ."I guess a good many people thought I yes making a 'grandstand play in court," he asserted. ' "I didn't- I was depressed, and. felt that I have caused my folks enough anguish. The longer I was In, the less trouble I would give them, was my idea. Last night I wrote mother and tried to cheer her all 1 could, wiring her first that a letter was on the way. "My first offense was committed at Tacomav I lost - at , gambling and then forged a check on a bank with the in tentiop of putting the money, in before the error was learned. When . I was arrested this time I made up my mind never to do wrong again. Judge Fraser is a good man, and I feel in my heart he has made one of me, though I am doomed to wear, a felon's, stripes."
