SIX MONTHS FOR GAM.
PhiladeIphian Admits Selling
Liquor Here. But Says it Was
for Family's Sake.

Earnest pleas made in his behalf by
his counsel, Philip l.. Garrett. for the
leniency OF the eourt, did not avail
Isadore Gam very much, when he was
arraigned In City Court this morning
on the charge of selling intoxicating
liquor in violation of the law. for
Judge Hastings fined him $500 and
sentenced him to serve six months In
the workhouse.
Mr.. Garrett told the court Gam lives
| in Philadelphia and that he has a wife
and several small children. He worked
i'm a shirt factory there, but lost his
employment and in order to make
enough money to feed and clothe his
family he purchased some liquor and
came here to sell IL. He pleaded guilty
for his client, to the charge of selling
liquor, but asked for lenfency because
the accused had admitted his two trips
to this city and when arrested had told
the police all about himself and what
he was doing.
