The court feels the ends of justice will be met, and society pro tected, by the course It has 'taken." State Not "Vindictive" Assistant Attorney General Moody, In a short address to the court, said: "The state la not vindictive, but it wants a full measure of Justice, as a warning to others that the condt ttona that brought about the present situation shall never prevail in this county again." The assistant attor ney general told the court, "it is true that Mr. Schermerhorn enjoyed a good reputation up to the time of the ballot thefts. He bad a fair and Impartial trial and was convicted by residents of his own county." Attorney Moody reminded the court that 'Mr. Schermerhorn received a measure of leniency, in that he receiv ed a year less sentence than other defendants." The court room was only moder ately filled for the proceedings, which lasted half an hour. Many came In the expectations of being witnesses. Among the Interested spectators were Mrs. Electa A. Fehl and Mrs. J. Ar thur LaDieu, wives of ballot theft de fendants now in the penitentiary. The general sentiment In the city and county was that the decision of the court was wise, and Justice had been admirably tempered with mercy. . The Schermerhorn case la the last of the ballot theft cases. He was sentenced August 7 last and has been at liberty since on bonds pending settlement of an appeal tr the state supreme court. He was recently de nied a hearing by that tribunal. Now 68 years of age, Schermerhorn has lived for 40 years In this city and county, as farmer and contractor, well known and respected. Up to the time of his association with Agl-; t a tors Banks and Fehl, there never was a blemish on his reputation.! However, he became deeply involved in the intrigues of this pair and, like others now expiating their crime, fell under their baneful influence, to his present sorrow. He now comes under the grim mandate of the law. and hundreds of Jackson county res idents feel he (s "more sinned against than sinner."
