AUTO SCORCHER
RANTS IN JAIL
Says He's Sacrifice to Public Clamor
for Punishment of Speeders-
Connollys Clever Coup.

Over In ward q of the county jail,
George Martin. the young tester OF
the EMF company, who was sent
TO jail by Judge Connolly Monday
morning, declares that he Is the limo
cent sacrifice to the public clamor for
punishment OF auto speeders, and
that he is made the scapegoat for the
rich and powerful scorchers who are
allowed TO go.
In large part. Martins frame of
mind may be attributed TO one Henry
Erdman, studious, middle-aged gen.
tleman who Is locked In ward G on
the charge Of abandoning his family.
Mr.. Erdman is outspoken In his sym
pathy for Martin. He speaks Of Mar
tins martyrdom, and Martin says.
That's right. Yep. that's So You
bet. A poor fellow hasn't got any

court with me. He had a pull. He

against both OF us. His speedometer
showed the same speed for both OF

Yes, young man." interjected Erd-
man, ceasng his perusal of a small
book that looked to unframed eyes
like New Testament. Yes, young
man. that's always the game. The big
fellows get away. and the poor fellow.
without pull, gets into Jail. Get the
big fellows. say |. and put them III

But. all question of the ethics OF
the case to one side, Martin appears
to be due for a stay in the county jail.

which amount. practically. to Judge
Connolly's stealing march on the
city ordinances.
Satisfied that jail sentences were
the only proper remedy for auto speed
ers, Judge Connolly learned that the
law made no provision for jail SEN
tence II merely mentions a maximum
fine OF 500.
But ! have the power to remand a
defendant TO Jail until [ decide upon
the proper fine" said Judge Connol-
ly, with a smile. That's what I'm do
ing with young Martin. and what's I'm
going to do with some more auto
scorchers. I'm leaving him In Jail un-
I'll | decided whether to fine him 500.
