Edward Gereau of Florissant, yesterday plead.-d guilty to th- charge and was sentenced by Judge Booth to servo to jears In the penitentiary. Gereau was the chief witness against hi sister before the Grand Jury. His mory was that she visited him. In Florissant, on September 17, and started with him to mass. That while on the way to church he men tioned the fact that he had J115 at home with which to finish building a new house. As soon as she heard this, ho said, she made an excuse to get away from hlra and went ba k to the house, where a relative was guarding the money. Mrs. Aubuchon managed to divert her at tention lohg ettough to get the money, and tied to St. Iuls. Gereau followed two hours later and met his sifter with an East St. Louis detective Just its they were get ting ready to crosa the river on the Carr street fern boat. After fcU ulster was arrested, Gereau did not wish to apiear against her, but was finally convinced by the authorities that it would be better for him to do so. A pathetic incident of the sentencing of Mr?. Aubuchon was the presence of her agd mother. Mrs. Oetavia Gereau. Tears trickled down th old lad"s cheeks as she heard the Judge pronounce the words that meant a felon's cell fur her daughter.
