Question Of What Action to
Take in Case of Italian
Club
JUDGE WILL LOOK UP THE LAW

When the case Of Raffaele Bernardo.

Giovanni Dngrossa, the officers of the

ually they were not guilty of selling Ii
quor without a license.
Assistant City Solicitor Springer Of
fered no objection to the request made
by former Judge Ball and the case
against the men was dismissed. Mr..
Springer then preferred a charge
against the club as a corporation. He
produced law that provides that cor
porations canb held criminally liable
for offenses such as selling liquor with
out a license and subject to fines. Mr..
Ball admitted such was the case, but
wanted to know i'm the event of the
defendant club refusing to pay a fine,
who would in default of payment of
said fine go to prison. He said, "You
can't send the corporation there, still
the law says that in the event Of de-
fault of payment of a fine the defend
ant must be sent to jail"
Mr.. Springer suggested that If a fine
is imposed on the organization and IL
refused to pay its clubhouse could be
solo. This however" said the assist
ant city solicitor, has no bearing on
the charge against the corporation. The
manner Of collecting the fine is an after
consideration"
At this point Judge Cochran ordered
Mr.. Springer to proceed with the case
IA he
up after the evidence was heard. The
names Of three witnesses for the State
were called. but only one answered. He
testified that he bought three glasses
Of beer at the Italian club last Sunday
week, paying Is cents for them. He
said he was not a member of the or
ganization and never was After this
witness testified Mr.. Springer Informed
the court that owing to the absence oil
the other two witnesses he was COM
PEELED to ask for a continuance and also
requested that capias be issued for the
