A. II. GRANT SUNTUNCGD.
Olven Three Years In Pcilernl Prison
on McNeil's Island.
, The Portland Tekram of Tluus-
clay of last week hnd the following
refolding n Pend man:
i Federal Judge Wolverton this
morning performed n second duty
in Wee days from which any 'juri.-t
.with red blood in his veins and n
'touch of sjuipathy in his Mttil
might reasonably have shrunk
from. The first harsh task was
that of sending a young woman
with a babe in arms to jail for elf-
confessed robbery of the ma jN The
latest disagreeable burden , laid up
on Judge Wolvcrton's .shoulders
was the meting out of the law to
Alfred II. Grant, the venerable
postmaster of Bend, Or Grant
was this morning sentenced to serve
ihrcc years, aqd six months in the
"IJederul prison on McNeill's Islam"
atid 16 'pay a fine of $32111 76.
The courtroom was crowded with
witnesses, spectators, lawyers and
others drawn there by the most
recent laud-fraud trial Grant hud
pleaded guilty to the embezzlement
of Government funds through the
" 'conversion of money orders to hi.s
own private uses.
At 10 o'clock he was called up
before Judge Wolverton for sen
tence. As "his name was. pro
nounced a pathetic figure, crouch
ing as much as it could in the
shadow of a huge deputy marshal,
arose and shuffled hesitatingly for
Avard toward the center of the trial
chamber. Hts face was bronzed,
and hts whitening beard empha
sized the darker lines of his seam
face, and none of these marks of
time was bad. The man had al
' ways borne a good reputation and
there was no trace in any of hi
features that would arouse any
suspicions to the contrary. It was
because of this clean record that
the District Attorney took some
time to explain the mitigating cir
cumstances to the court, and the
'sentence was measured out accord
ingly. Greet bowed his head when fac
'ibg tLe bench, that he might hide
his eyes that were visibly red from
weeping, and he swayed slightly
back and forth as if to brace him
self against the shock of punish
ment. He had nothing to say "why
sentence should not be imposed,"
jfsimple shake of the head, with a
'marked tightening of the pale,
"bluish lines around the mouth.
'His fingers, which were interlaced,
twitched nervously about his cap as
Judge Wolverton proceeded to im
"press upon the prisoner the gravity
df the crime he bad committed and
to tvhiclr be bad confessed.
A hundred eyes were riveted on
'the old man, who is perhaps only a
jew years the junior of the vener
able jurist who" was pronouncing
Judgment upon him, and the room
was impressively silent.
"It is the judgment of this court,"
continued Judge Wolverton in low
and measured tones, "that you pay
a fine of $3118.54, and be confined
"ijx the penitentiary on McNeill's
"Island for a period of two years and
six rzonths'on the first count; that
j-flun'ay a fine of fcr.j3.22 and be
confined for a period of one year
upon the second count."
This made'the total fine&26i.76,
he amount of the embezzlement,
and the imprisonment 42 months.
The imprisonment may be reduced
about 15 months, or to two years
and three months, upon good be
havior And then after this time
has expired Grant can, after further
confinment of 30 days, take the
pauper's oafy and be released.
' The seuterjee was a comparatively
lenient one, the, limit of each count
jxiag ib years, but the fact that
Grant voluntarily gave himself up,
that he confessed fully, and had
borne such an exemplary reputa
tion, all contributed in his favor.
The confidence the Government
had had in him is shown by the fact
that even after the business of the
nostofficfi at Beud, had increased
many ibid, and enabled Grant to
embezzle a total of over $3000, yet
his bond remained at $1000. The
Gpvernraent will recover this
amount, reducing the fine to $2261.
In case the property at Bend, a
small notion and confectionery
store, and a modest home, is turned
over by Mrs. Grant, in whose name
it is, the fine will be more than
wiped outt
The further pathetic feature
about Grant's case Is that lie be
came a thief to provide greater
comforts and more luxuries for bis
wife and bis one child, to whom it
npH.-ars he was devotedly attached,
lie first began stealing to pay off a
uuulgagc on his property, and later
to furnish his home with finery, in
cluding a piano and other cxpcif
sive furniture. It does not appear
that a ct nt of the stolen money was
squandered upon himself, or that
he spent it extravagantly. It is
jiM another case of a man on small
salary trying to live beyond his
menus Fear of losing his home
goaded 'Grant and opened the down
ward pathway to mined character
and to prison in shame and dis
grace ,
For pver 20 years he has been a
highly respected citizen of Crook
County, had been for many year
postmaster at Hay Creek, but was
given the more important office at
