Arraignments and Sentences.

Prisoners Before Chief Justice Bingham in the Criminal Court Today.

In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bingham, today there were thirteen male and three female prisoners in the dock for arraignment, sentences, &c.

The first called was Robert E. Hall, indicted for forgery of checks and uttering the same in November last – two on the National Metropolitan bank for $23 and one on the National Bank of the Republic for $18 – all purporting to be drawn by C. D. Bailey. He plead not guilty.

John Sales, colored, indicted with Joseph Grant for larceny of $52 from Thos. Scantlebury on November 5, plead not guilty.

Wm. Mackall, colored, charged with embezzlement on December 12 of $10 from W. G. Dorsey, plead guilty of receiving but not of stealing, saying he spent $1.90. The court imposed a sentence of sixty days in jail.

Edward Archer and W. Boswell, charged with stealing a horse valued at $125 from James L. Bolton November 27, plead not guilty.

Charles Bryan, colored, charged with breaking into the stable of James A. Tupper December 3, plead not guilty, saying that he went to the stable, but not to steal. He just went in and borrowed the harness.

Wm. Boswell and Jas. Lewis, colored, were charged with housebreaking in the night and in the day by entering the store and dwelling of Milton Sweeny December 12. Boswell plead not guilty and Lewis guilty. Lewis on being questioned by the court said the act was in the night and sentence was deferred in his case until Boswell is tried next week.

Wm. Bender, colored, housebreaking at night, December 18, by entering the barbershop of David Catlett, plead guilty and asked the mercy of the court. On being questioned he said he had been drinking and was with a number of other fellows. He was sentenced to two years in the Albany penitentiary.

Charles Winston, colored, charged with assault with intent to kill Charles James on December 18, plead not guilty.

Charles H. Jacobson, a young white man, was charged with the larceny of a bicycle valued at $100 from D. S. Marsh on December 14. He plead guilty and asked the court to suspend sentence, saying that he had the promise of a place as a druggist at $75 a month in the south as soon as released. On a second indictment for the larceny of a gold bracelet, rings, &c., valued at $135, from Nannie L. Magruder, he plead not guilty, stating that he knew nothing f the articles except the diamond ring. He took this from her bureau for the purpose of having a diamond replaced and intended to return it to her at Christmas. He had been going to see the young lady for some time and had no intention of stealing. Assistant District Attorney Lipscomb stated that Jacobson attempted to pawn the ring and that his story was a romance. The court imposed a sentence of two years in the penitentiary at Albany.

Kate Friday and Sarah L. Lewis, the alleged shoplifters, were arraigned for the larceny of lace from Woodward & Lothrop and a seal skin ulster valued at $150 from Stinemetz. They plead not guilty.

In the case of Wm. Bright, convicted of housebreaking, Mr. H. H. Wells, jr., withdrew the motion of a new trial and said he would submit to the judgment of the court. He explained that there was no intent to steal, but that the prisoner entered the house to see a girl. Unfortunately for them the girl's brother was at home. He asked for a jail sentence. The court said the punishment should be more than a jail sentence, no matter what his motive was. He imposed a sentence of one year in the Albany penitentiary.

In the case of Ada Tenney, convicted of receiving stolen property ($70 stolen by Jennie Miller from John Fields in August last), a motion for a new trial was argued by Gen. E. C. Carrington for defendant and Mr. Lipscomb for the government. The court overruled the motion.

The case of Grace Ott and Richard Stanton, convicted of grand larceny, was called by Mr. Cahill and he asked that it be passed. Mr. Lipscomb said he would not ask that the sentence be imposed at this time, inasmuch as when the trial of Mary Thomas was up she would likely attempt to put the crime entirely on them. He desired in case she did so to have Grace and Stanton competent witnesses.

Mr. A. B. Williams, as counsel for Mary Thomas, said they would not object to them testifying, and he would be ready to try the case within ten days. The case was passed.

In the case of Henry Pryor, convicted December 20 of grand larceny from Alice Taylor, the court sustained the motion in arrest of judgment. The motion was filed by T. C. Taylor and L. Murray Browne, wo claimed that the indictment was defective in not charging the ownership in the proper party. The defendant was retained in custody till a new indictment is framed.

Frederick Sanders alias Birdie King, convicted of larceny from the person; motion for new trial overruled.
