WELLER WARNS
TOBACCO sellers
Judge Says Future Violators
of Law Will Receive Full
Penalty
Sixteen Accused Dealers Admit
Sale of Seductive Weed
TO Minors

OF 26 cases called before Police Judge
Weller yesterday charging number
of cigar dealers of the city with selling
tobacco to minors Is convictions were
secured through the accused pleading
guilty; seven were continued until De-
cember 5 and three cases were dis
missed through lack of sufficient iden-
tifcation.
Those who pleaded guilty were as
follows:
Charles Benedetti, two counts: Fred Nessler,
three counts; Dominic Frenti, three counts; Aug
4st Lindnerl Patrick Madigan. Henry Meyer.
John Aver. Ramos Rudebeck, Simon Hunt Milo
Marian and Arthur Cousins. one count each,
Three charges against Joseph Gra-
nera and four charges against John
Hildebrand were continued until De-
cember to allow the accused to ar
range for counsel.
The charges against Louis Horn
tales, William Georges and Abe Cohn
were dismissed because the complain
ing witness, Probation Officer willard
P. Hatch, was unable to positively
state that he saw tobacco sold to the
boys by either of the three men. 1t
appears that Hortales, Georges and
Cohn are proprietors of cigar stores.
Each one admitted that it was pos
sible that tobacco may have been IL
legally sold to boys by men in their
employ, but each denied he had made
such sales personally. The boys who
bought the tobacco at the stores of the
three could not swear they were the
men who sold 1t to them. so Judge
Weller was compelled to dismiss the
cases with warning.
Following the disposition of the
cases, Judge Weller summoned the
cigar dealers before the bench and
made a statement of his views on the
violation of the ordinance which was
drawn for the protection of the youth
of the city. Said Judge Weller:
The promiscuous selling of cigar
cites and tobacco to small boys must
be stamped out in this city, and I pur-
pose to do all in my power to aid this
gopd work. I have notified you gentle
men who pleaded guilty to appear here
December 5 for sentence, and I wish
to inform you now that I do not look
lightly upon your offenses. In passing
sentence 1 shall take into considera-
tion that this is the first time you have
been arrested on this, charge, but wish
to give warning that If any of you are
brought before me a second time on
the same charge I shall inflict the full
penalty prescribed by law, which is
$500 fine and six months Incarceration
in the county Jail"
