Officials of the sheriff department
had "dead-open" case on Stevens,
who early in the week pleaded guilty

among the six to face the court for
sentence. After Judge Pollock had
sentenced Stevens to year in the
county Jail and fine of $500 with an
additional 80 days in default of the
$500, the court ordered that sentence
be suspended during good behavior,
asserting that greater good could be
accomplished if Stevens would stop

than if he was made to serve and the
wife and the children suffer as a con.
