St. Paul Man Goes to Prison for Crime
of Another.
St. Paul, Doc. 14.George Grant.
twenty-six years old, indicted as
Joseph Goosa, pleaded guilty in the
Ramsey county district court of steal
ing jewelry to save a friend from
prosecution and was sentenced to the
state prison on the reformatory plan.
Grant's health is such that physi
cians say he will not live a year in
prison.
Grant stated privately after the sen
tence that, he was not guilty of the
tkett and had nothing to do with it,
except that he had helped the man
who stole the jewelry drink up the
proceeds. The man who stole the
jewelry, however, has a wife ami child,
who would be left destitute if Grant
told on him.
Grant says that he could not live
long, anyway, and he had no friends.
so he would rather go to prison in the
other man's stead than see him prose
cuted.
