Schwab, convicted Of selling liquor without
sentence the judge said: ''You have been con-
vlcted by an impartial jury, well and carefully
chosen, of the offense of selling wine without a
Onense was aggravated in your case by the de-
liberate character of the resistance you made to
the law. You knew the law, and deliberately
violated it, and you ought to be punished for it.
There are considerations, however, which have
been addressed to the court by your counsel,
and which the court has considered which will
prevent me from imposing the full measure of =
punishment which 1 am authorized by law to-
do, and 1 have made up my mind in this case
not to infict the full measure of punishment.
nor even to infict degrading punishment, be-
cause the ofense was not of a character which,
is, as the law says, bad in itself. At the same
time imposing, as intend, a mild and lenient
sentence, I.wish it understood that L am maxi
ing no precedence for the future, and if such
eases of violation of the law be brought before
the court, and spirit of organized resistance
should continue, the Court will unhesitatingly
mete out the full punishment which it is au-
thorized by law to do. - - .-- 4
