Found guilty on a charge of steal- ing a horse, a young man who was sentenced at Clinton to two years in the Portsmouth penitentiary, was brought down to Kingston on Tues- day and spent the night in the po- lice cells, and on Wednesday morn- ing was taken out to the Portsmouth penitentiary, The accused did not appear to be worrying at all over his sentence. He had a good sleep and was awake early on Wednesday morning and pat in his time prior to leaving for the big prison in singing popular songs. He was taken to Portsmouth in a taxi and was not handcuffed, and, had 'he so desired, could have made some excitement while on his way from the police station .to the tax! by making a bolt for Iibderty. However, with such a short term ahead of him, and with the promise of this being cut down with good conduct, he evidently came to the conclusion that it was not worth while making an attempt to escape and the officer who had him in charge no doubt had the situation sized up well and did not think he was taking any great chances when he allowed him to make the trip to the penitentiary minus handcuffs.
