HERMANN SENTENCED.
GETS THREE YEARS. THE JUDGE UNSYMPATHETIC. SYDNEY, March 22. Earle Hermann was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. The Judge, referring to the recommendation to mercy, said that it seemed to him that the epilepsy was the consequence, and not the cause, of Hermann's action. Hermann had talked of suicide, but did not se<>m to have had enough courage to do that, but hoped to escape J by pleading insanity. 1 Before the tludge sentenced Hermann, two fresh indictments were read, charging him on three counts with forging and uttering promissory notvs, involving a sum of £13,034. The offences, it is alleged. were committed in June and July. The Crown announced ihat it was not proposed to proceed with the cases at present.
