Sent To Jackson

[ohn W. Robison, convicted of an assault in this city on an uncle, with intent to do great bodily harm, was, on Saturday, sentenced to Jackson state prison for two years and eight months. The uncle had on a previous day badly beaten Robison's father and probably Robison would have escaped canviction had he not fired at his uncle with a revolver. The prisoner was defended by Andrew E. Gibson and Frank J. Riggs, who made the most of the extenuating circumstances. Judge Kinne took occasion to announce in delivering the sentence that offenders using deadly weapons need neither ask nor expect clemency at the hands of the court. Such offenders would hereafter be greeted with the severest penalties.
