New York. Aug. 20.-Dr. S. j.
Bernfeld and Louis I. Cherey, indict-
ed members Of exemption board No
SO, today entered pleas of guilty to
a charge of conspiracy to obstruct the
draft law as they were about to be
placed on trial.
They were sentenced to two years
each in the federal penitentiary at At
lanta.
kalman Kruber, not member of
the board but indicted on the same
charge, elected to stand trial.
The specific count to which Bern
field and Cherey pleaded guilty,
charged them with accepting a bribe
of $500 to exempt a registrant. It
was disclosed that the defendants had
accepted $4,000 in bribe money. The
court was told they had paid back a
portion of the money and had prom
ised to make good the balance.
Judge Manton, in passing sentence,
said that although the maximum
penalty was Imprisonment for two
years and a fine of $4,000, the gov
eminent did not wish to accept taint-
ed money as fine.
These men, said the judge, "are
educated and pleaded guilty to having
committed a most heinous crime
against their government in time of
great stress. They can be credited
with only one act Of decency in con-
nection with this matter, paying back
some of the money they accepted as
bribes. and their expressed intention
of repaying the balance"
The defendants were allowed one
week to arrange their affairs before
being taken to Atlanta.
The task Of obtaining jury in the
case against Kruber was begun inn
mediately.
