                        And now the prisoners, Dan Turner
Charles Williams and George Doolin, being in open court
for sentence were demanded if they had anything to
say why the sentence of the law should not be passed
upon them, saith nothing,
 Whereupon the Court sentenced the prisoners in man-
ner and form as follows, - The sentence of the law
is that you, Dan Turner, and you, George Doolin, be
imprisoned by confinement in the state prison at hard
labor each for the term of three years, and the sentence
of the law is that you Chas Williams be imprisoned by
confinement in the state prison at hard labor for one
