was employed. Neal Power. his at
torney made a plea for leniency. point
ing out that the testimony introduced
showed that Tetsall had borne the
highest kind of a reputation until he
got in trouble at ROsenthals. Bearing
in mind that his wife and child would
become a charge on the community
while he was in prison, Power argued
that a short sentence would best serve
the public interest.
Louis Ferrari assistant district at

gestion to make as to leniency or Sc
verify. Judge Dunno thereupOn. with
out comment. imposed sentence OF
three years in prison.
Mrs. Tetsall. the young wife OF the
defendant. cried bitterly when she
heard the sentence. TetsaH was FOR
some time suspected of having at

MED that he was concerned in that
