Long prison terms for pocketbook snatchings in Washington

The judge condemned the crime as serious and urged safer streets for white women. William White, a Civil War veteran, was sentenced to one year and four days for shooting a comrade, the lightest penalty for such an offense, and he fainted as the sentence was pronounced. Jesse Gordon was arraigned for robbing Maud C Duvall and remanded to jail awaiting trial. The report also notes a minister in Mexico consenting to head the National railroads directorate.
