mcnt in the county jail for thirty days and to
pay "a fine OF 800. and TO stand committed I'M
tilsuch fine Is paid. not exceeding ono day for
eaeh dollar OF such fine.
In passing sentence Judge Knapp said that the
practice Of Imposing a fine upon conviction for
Il violation OF the Excise law. which took from
the pocket of the offenders only n portion OF the
money which represented their gain by reason
of violations Of the law, had not tended TO an OBJ
servanco OF the provisions OF the Excise law to
the same degree that other ttatutes were OBJ
served and respected, and that he proposed. In
this case, to pronounce such Judgment as would
give notice 10 the defendant and all Others who
seemed impressed with the idea that ifthey We're
detected and convicted the requirement sof the

a Term OF imprisonment IN addition TO a fine
would be enforced hereafter. Ia the hope that
such example would have a salutary effect upon
