Plewes, of Toronto, guilty of breaking into and enter- ing a store in the village of Beaver- ton, owned by F. Clough. Mr, Jus- tice Raney sentenced him to seven years in Kingston penitentiary, Thursday afternooh On another charge, that of at- tempting to escape from' the county gaol at Whitby, Plewes was given two years, Both sentences will run concurrently, Had Long Record Plewes had a been tri- ed and convicted of both charges but was successful in appeals in securing mew trials, Before sen- tence was passed, the special pro- secuting attorney, ¥. T. Ward, of Cobourg, read Plewes' record, which showed that between 1928 and the time he was arrested on the store breaking charge, he had been convicted ten times for vari, ous offences. Plewes pleaded for leflency and asked mot to be sent"to Kingstoh, where, he told the gourt, he would have to lead a dog's life, Mr, Jus tice Raney, however, told him that storekeepers and citizens generally must be protected from the opera- tions of men such as he and other prisoners who had testified at this court sittings. Commenting on the conviction for attempting to escape from gaol, Justice Raney stated that the evi- dence disclosed a deep plot for a general gaol delivery which might easily have resulted in murder be- ing committed.

About 15 minutes latep the jury filled into the courtroom and the foreman announced a ves dict of guilty. Mr. Greer, counsel for Plewes, asked for a poll of the jury, and the 12 men one by one declared that they found the pris- oner guilty. It was learned afterwards that up until the reported disagreement, only one man held out for an acs quital.
