Sentenced to death. --In the C. S. District Court, Saturday, J. D. Halyburton, Judge; P. H. Aylett. District Attorney; John Richardson, alias John Richards, alias Louis Napoleon, was arraigned for sentence for stealing, forging and passing Confederate Treasury notes. The prisoner was led to the bar of the court by Marshal J. F. Wiley, for sentence, when Mr. John H. Gilmer, counsel for the defence, moved for a new trial, which motion was argued at length by Mr. P. H. Aylett, District Attlking out of the service of the only land that ever gave him more than enough to keep life in him, by urging the pleas that he belonged to Italy; and, worse still, striking at the very vitals of the Confederacy by forging that which is the only pay which she can give to her soldiers and creditors. Richardson is an Italian, of bad countenance, dissolute habits, and until recently was the proprietor of a little confectionary, as a blind for the illicit sale of poisonous liquors in the rear.
