Sentence of two years in the state penitentiary at Lansing was nounced Saturday by Judg George 11 Whitcomb upon William Briggs the first white man in Shawnee eounty to be convicted of a felony tor violation of the prohibitory liquor law.

Briggs 18 now serving out a six months sentence in the eity prison for selling liquor and has two months yet to serve. He appealed to the supreme court, after the reading of the sentence and his boud was fixed at heaviest bail tixed in a liquor case during the last term of the district court. Briggs was convieted on a direct sale to Douglas on September 6. Ilis motion for a new trial was denied. A new trial was asked on the plea that new evidence had been obtained.

This new evidence showed that Mrs Briggs sold the liquor to Douglas, but the court ruled that since that bit of evidence was known to the defendant at the time of the trial and was not introduced, it could not be used as a basis for for the grauting of a new trial, So Briggs' attempt to shoulder the blame upon his wife will not keep him out of the penitentiary, unless he wins on appeal.
