Judge Kelly Only Regrets He
Cannot Send Hotel Man to
Penitentiary.
GETS 250 DAYS IN JAIL
Maximum Fine of $500 Is Imposed and
He Will Serve It Out at Rate of
$2 Per Day.
"T "eiitence you to pay a fine of $500
and in default thereof to servo 250
days in the county jail," said Circuit
Judge Percy R. Kelly this morning to
William Tweedie, who was convicted
on tho charge of conducting a bawdy
house in this city.
Never in the history, of department
No. 1, of tho Marion circuit court, has
there ever been such a scathing lecture
delivered by a presiding judge as the
one given Tweedie by Judge Kelly. Tho
court, after hearing a brief statement
from the dofendant, said, in part:
"My only grievance in passing sen
tence upon you, Mr. Tweedie, is that
the law will not pormit me to send yon
to the penitentiary. Even if the law
gave mo this alternative, I would feci
that I would be doing an injustice to
tho taxpayers in compelling the prison
authorities to keop such a man as you.
You have no solf-rospect, nor do you
deserve to-fco the husband of the wo
man sitting beside you in this court. I
abhor the crimes of the nature of which
yon havo boon convicted, and I will
now pronounce tho maximum sentence
on you to pay a fine of $500, and in
default thereof to serve 250 dnys in
the county jail." ..
Tweedie's Plea.'
Boforo pronouncing sentence, Judge
Kelly asked Twedie if he hod anything
to say. Tweedie aroso and told the
judge that his wife had been in Ill-
health for some time, and that ho has
been performing all kinds of lnbor in
order to meet tho bills coming in. His
tnlk was brief, and he finished by say
ing that ho should be given a chance
to make good. While ho did not admit
he waB guilty of tho charge of which
he was convicted, Tweedie did not de
ny it to Judge Kelly.
Tweedie was confined in tho county
jail several days nftnr his arrest be
cause ho failed to furnish tho $250
bonds under which ho wns placed by the
court. When escorted to tho bantile
again this morning, after failing to pay
tho $500 fino assessed by Judgo Kelly,
tho prisoners cheered him, and one
said:
