TOO MUCH LENIENCY.
MURDERER HAS FOURTEEN YEARS REMITTED.
THE MALECKA SENTENCE
(Received 21, 10.15 a.m.) St. Petersburg, May 20,
At Warsaw last September Count Roniker was convicted of the murder of a youthful brother-in-law who stood between him and a fortune and was sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment. The Appeal Court has now reduced the sentence to fifteen months on the ground that the crime was one of, manslaughter and Roniker has been allowed hail pending an appeal to the Senate. The newspapers contrast the leniency in this case with the sentence on Miss Malecka, who remains in custody pending appeal.
