five years and that anybody could get
an automobile license plate simply by
writing to the State Tax Department
for 1t. Having obtained the license

car that does not exist.
Ranton said that the State made no
inspection to learn whether an applicant
for license plate owned an automobile
"A fellow In Brooklyn" he was
quoted IS saying. took out six licenses
for Ford cars, but did not own a single
Ford. Then a man would steal Ford

added, "but there Ia no physical !nspec-

Released in Reward for
His Services.

tive Of THE NEW YORK HERALD by

regular. When the papers fixing Stadt-
muller's term at six months were sent
to Justice McAvoy on August 4 last.
they were Immediately returned with
the notation that as Stadtinuller had
been OF assistance to the State In tho
prosecution OF other cases growing ou.
of Brindell's activities, and had been
promised that q sentence Of only three
months would be recommended, the
trial justice joined in the recommenda-
ton. Under the law the trial justice
may increase. but cannot shorten the
term or imprisonment fixed by the
Parole Commission.
In Stadtmullers case. however, in
view of Justice McAvoy's attitude tho
commission reopened tfDe case and re-
duced It's former term from six to five
months. With this recommendation the
papers were sent back to Justice Nc
Avoy on August IS. Justice McAvoy,
however. returned them a second time,
with the renewed recommendation that
the maximum imprisonment be fixed
at three months.
Stanley Richter. who. as a special
Assistant District Attorney prosecuted
the case. Joined in the recommendation.
Accordingly. on September the COM
mission considered the case for the
third time, and, in view of the recon-
mandations from the trial justice and
the prosecutor, voted for an Immediate
parole. This recommendation was sent
to Justice McAvoy for his signature.
and was returned to the Commission
only last. Wednesday.
Prisoners are released on parole only
on Tuesdays and Fridays
