In the circuit court this week three crimináis were sentenced to Jackson. John W. Robison was convicted Tuesday of assanlt with intent to do great bodily harm. The assault was committed in May 1892, on an uncle, who had badly pounded t he defendant's father. The defendant hit his uncle with a stone and afterwards drew a revolver on him. After the assault he disappeared but was arrested near Chicago last November by Deputy Sheriff Peterson. He will be sentenced today. Thom,as Jones, the Ypsilanti man concerned in the Bowdish & Matteson burglary, who shot Officer Peterson, was tried Tuesday and Wednesday and convicted of assault with intent to murder, after the jury had been out half an hour. He was immediately sentenced to twenty years in state prison. After the conviction of his brother, Irving Jones withdrew his plea of not guilty of larceny and plead guilty. He was sentenced to four years and seemed to be agreeably surprised at the sentence after that received by his brother. The sentences meet with general approval.
