At 2 oclock this afternoon Deputy Sheriff Shook brought Bennett' down to Justice Wallaces court to be arraigned. District Attorney Bardin was present and a small'number of spectators gathered and took seats in court. There was an air of solemnity abont the proceedings that Is not usual In justice courts, compelled, doubtless, by the feeling of all present that this young man was just going up against an exceedingly difficult proposition. Bennett looked very serious indeed. He is tanned a well-done brown by his exposure to' the sun and wind of the Jamesburg hills, and his hair Is busby and weatherworn.

His clothing was such as he would wear out rustling among the stock or cutting cordwood. He is spare, yet muscular, and be looked very depressed In spirit He took the seat assigned to him and Justice -Wallace opened the proceedings by asking him if his true name was Horace Bennett. He said it was, and then the Justice said he bad a complaint against him, which he would read. Justice Wallace read it and the reading made the situation even more solemn. As be came to the words charging Bennett with murder, which Is "contrary to the force and effect of the statute in such cases made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the people of the State of California.

Justice Wallace then told Bennett that he could get any attorney he wished and have any witnesses he desired summoned, and that, he would appoint the yellmlnary examination for 'fuesday, the 18th, at 10 a. m. District Attorney Bardin informed Bennett that the county would not provide him an attorney for the preliminary examination, but if be had no attorney when he came to trial in the Superior Court, the Court would appoint someone to defend him, but that be was at liberty to employ whom and as many attorneys as he pleased. Bennett expressed a deelre to have one friend, named Btdache, come to see him In jail. Justice Wallace told Bennett that he eould not be admitted to bail and Deputy Sheriff Shook led him back to jail, Estate of O.

See No Use of Further Lenience, Pronounces Sentence. This morning George Collins waa before Judge Sargent In the Superior Court to give an account of himself and show, if he could, why he should not be punished for his embezzlement of M. B.

He violated the terms of bis parole and waa arrested at Suisun. Collins's case was the first case that District Attorney Bardin handled after assuming his office in January, 1907. The case waa clear, and Collina pleaded guilty and asked for the mercy of the Court. Judge Sargent had known Collins and bis family for years, and as this was his first offense he suspended sentence, hoping that Collins would liot again lapse into criminal ways. The terms of probation were that be would not leave the county and would keep away from Intoxicating liquors: He was to report monthly to Probation Cjfflcer McLean his whereabouts, hla earnings and hla disposition of his earnings.

Last month' Collina did not report and Mrs. Collins aent a letter to Probation Officer McLean saying that Collins had drawn all the money he had and disappeared. He waa next heard from at Suisun, where he gave himself away over the telephone to the Sheriffs office. 1 All these things were brought out In court this morning, and It was fur ther shown that three weeka ago he borrowed $12.50 from Joe Llal, formerly of Salinas but now employed in San Francisco, on the representation that he was buying a pump for irrigation purposes of Baker A Hamilton and lacked $12.50 to pay the freight Llal bad known Collins as an industrious man here, and he was easily "touched.1 Llal was in court this mqrning and was called upon to tell bis story. Evidence was also introduced to show that Collins had been drunk about town before he took wbat money the family had and left Judge Sargent reviewed the whole case and told what motives had prompted hfm originally to suspend sentence.

He said he saw no reason why he should again give him a chance on probation, and sentenced him to San Quentin prison for a period of five years.
