OF $50 AND COSTS

Arthur HoUle, 22. of Hinsdale. y. H.
who made a sensational break for lib
erty on Main street Saturday night aft
er his arrest for intoxication by Special
Policeman John q. Tucker. was ar
raigned before Judge Frank D. f.. Stowe
IN the municipal court this morning on
complaint of States Attorney Harold
r. Whitney. who charged him with in
toxlcatlon and escaping from an officer
while under arrest. He was fined 81 and
costs on the first charge to which he
pleaded guilty. and $50 and costs on the
second charge. TO which he entered the
same plea. lie was represented by At
torncy \. L. Schwenk Houle paid the
fine and was released.
States Attorney Whitney made a
statement regarding the escape from the
officer and stated that the law provided
penalty of prison sentence up to five
years or a fine not to exceed $500 or
both. but as the man had shown a will
ingncSs to return without requisition
papers, a fine of $50 and costs would
satisfy the state.
Attorney Schwenk then made state
ment for the defendant asking for len
iency. Attorney Schwenk stated that the
breaking away from an officer was a hot
headed piece Of fooliShness, for which
the young man was sincerely sorry. At
tOrney Schwenk also stated that Houles
mother had been an invalid for five years
and that his father had been iii with
pneumonia recently. The defendant s
counsel closed his statement By asking
for fine not to exceed $50 and costs
Judge Stowe said that although the
offense was a serious one, the peculiar
circumstances of the case seemed to
make fine of $50 and costs the penalty
which fitted the case.
