East Chicago Man Gets A
Shock When He Finds
Out What Happened

Louis Szabados had soft drink

He handled some hard liquor and
was caught at IT. The police
brought him in and booked him

who is holding down the bench in
police court while Judge A. p.
Twyman is helping on the treas
urershsp recount at Crown Point.
Just plead guilty" advised his
friends who had been through the
mill. you'll save yourself a
lawyer fee and viii get off easier
beside"
That was last Tuesday. Louis
entered his plea of guilty. Judge
Murray gave him 500 and costs
and a six months Jail sentence
which, after deliberation, was sus-
pended This was all according to
Hoyle. just as the friends of Louie
had predicted.
Then an agreement was pre-
sented to Louie to sign. 1t was
specified that he should close his
soft drink parlor and not permit
1t to be operated by anyone else.
Furthermore, he was expected to
allow the police to search his
premises any tins they appeared
even though they had no search
warrant.
These concessions from Louis
were in return for the suspension
of the Jail sentence. He agreed to
them After 1t was all over 1t
suddenly dawned upon him that he
was out of business. He also had
several hundreds of dollars in
vested in fixtures which he couldn't
use or sell.
He then went to see a lawyer
and Il was decided to appeal the
case to the criminal court. When
the motion for appeal was filed,
the court turned 1t down. The fine
had already been paid and the
matter was considered closed.
LAWYER A. C. Folea doesn't think
SO He says that as long as the
suspended sentence is hanging over
Szabados, judgment has not been
satisfied and an appeal is in order
So today he filed suit in the super
Tor court at Hammond asking that
Snecial Judge Murray and lodge
Tvvnan be inundated to grant the
appeal.
Judge Reiter has set the matter
for June IL.
