The court room was well oiled this morning by the friends of the three convicted burglars, Lindauer, Hines and Schmidt, it being understood that they were to be sentenced. Sent to Trenton for Ten Years. The above prisoners were the first ones called upon to receive sentence. Judge Garretson said: "You have been convicted of burglary, and the Court has no doubt of your guilt. There have been a series of burglaries in this county, and there is good reason to believe that they have been your work. Some difficulty arose between you and the others, and the facts came out." The men were then sentenced to State prison for 10 years each. As the Judge ceased, Lindauer said: "Please the Court, I haven't had a fair trial, and I will always think so." The prisoners were then removed. The following communications from Lindauer were intercepted and fell into the bands of District Attorney McGill. The first one is on a postal card and is directed to his wife as follows: Fan — You are the cause of all my trouble and if I go to Trenton you go too. I always try to right with you but you have gone a little over the mark do something before it is too late because I have made up my mind to keep still no longer nor I wont either. Insurance. The other was to his brother Fred, and was as follows: Fred — If any one ask you about our case you tell them that Hines, Butch, Fritz and Dick had those things in your house to sell he has told McGill every thing come and see me at once tell him that Hines gave you the information about the robberies write or come at once so I will know what to do. If I am granted a new trial I will make him sick. Yet don't forget to write at once so I sold know whether you got this or not he has caused all the trouble he is the guilty one and be must go to Trenton Hutch & Fritz too you must be careful what you write. Yours truly.
