Brennan of the Genesee county circuit court today sentenced Adolph Hotelling to life imprisonment at hard labor in sol itary confinement in the state branch prison at Marquette. The murdered bears with him on his trip to the bleak upper peninsula institution, a mark that brands upon him the hate and desperate grief of the father 'of his victim. As the stolid disheveled Owosso carpenter and church elder wa.s brought into the court today. Leslie Schneider, father ot the girl sprang from an. anteroom lashed out w-ith all his strength and struck Hotelling full in the face. The man blinked, shook his head and placed his hand to his face. It was evident the blow was painful. Regrets Death Impossible In passing sentence upon the confessed murderer who had en tered a plea of guilty, Judge Bren nan declared "the details as shown by this confession and the proof almost convince me we should have capital punishment in this state." Three witnesses only were call ed by the state including the girl's father, a physicion who told of the autopsy and a court reporter who identified Hotelling's confession. Repetition of the dramatic in cident which marked the prison er's entrance into the court room was prevented following sentence when deputy sheriffs rushed Ho telling through a side door into a waiting car which bore him rapirly away.
