Salisbury, Feb. 21—R.R. Brown, charged with stealing diamonds from Annie Ferris, a Charlotte woman, was today sentenced to 10 years and his wife, Jessie Brown, charged with receiving stolen goods, was given four years by Judge Bryson. Notice of appeal was given and the appeal bonds fixed at $10,000 and $5,000. The Browns received their sentences with smiles. Brown still refuses to give up the diamonds, which he admits having.
