IT’S ALL THE STYLE TO PLEAD GUILTY Ray E. Has brook, who was f held in the county jail on the charge of pandering, decided that discretion is the better part in his case, and Monday morning asked to be taken into the district court so that he might enter a plea of guilty. Judge Orr took Hasbrook’s word for it and sentenced him on Tuesday morning to a term of not less than two years nor more than 20 years in the state prison. Another opportunity to save the county money presenting itself, W. J. Stewart left with the prisoner Thursday morning in the car with Geo. Borden, for Carson City. Of the last 33 prisoners sent ‘ from Clark county to the state (prison, 32 of them! have pleaded | guilty, saving the county many [thousands of dollars which trials would have cost. Jess Hensley is the only one out of the 33 sent to prison, who put the county to ih e expense of a trial. It is likely that the friendly and fatherly advice of Sheriff Gay may have had its influence in bringing about so many pleas woaf rnguilty.
