True you may have entered the house without intending to do the wife any harm, but it may have had the effect of breaking up the hume and leav- ing the children without a mother. The extreme penalty of the law for your crime is fourteen years in the pen- itentiary. Seeing it is your first offence I will not pass what I call a severe sentence upon you.
