Vaile Tuesday morning was sentenced by Superior Judge W. A. Anderson to life imprisonment in Folsom.

No notice of appeal was filed by Vaile's attorney. Vaile last week was found guilty' of a statutory offense involving a small Broderick boy. He was tried immediately following conviction upon his plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury took just ten minutes to return a verdict that Vaile was sane. The fact that Vaile has been in state's prison on three previous occasions left no recourse except a sentence of life imprisonment under the habitual criminal act.

Juan Ortiz, charged with assault with a deadly weapon was ordered to appear next Monday for arraignment and setting of his trial. Ortiz is charged with stabbing one man and threatening several others in the course of an attempted robbery at Broderick.
