A case with a rather interesting
history is that Of Isaac Shapiro. dis
posed Of by Justice Jeffries, Wednes-

that he had a pull with the police and
did not fear arrest. Justice Jeffries
found him guilty and imposed a fine
of SO with the alternative. OF 10 days

The case grows indirectly out OF
an arrangement whereby Ceranski
