fined John Pietuszka $1,000 and
costs and sentenced him to two
wears Imprisonment when he plead
ed guilty to charge Of smbezzle-
ment. the defendants wife ap-
preached the court and impressive
" told of the hardships that she
and her husband had voluntarily
subjected themselves to in an effort
TO make pecuniary amends for the
offense, but her plea failed to
change the courts attitude.
Pieuszka, former Polish court
interpreter. was said to be an Of
icer OF the Delaware Polish Rene
ficial Society when he misapproprl-
ated s4700 OF the society's money.
This amount was repaid, but, It was
said, It was later found that he had
embezzled s37O0 additional
Harry p. Joslyn, counsel for the
defendant, made a strong plea for a
parole for his client but the court
felt that the offense was OF too seri-
Gus nature to permit parole. The
court imposed the heavy fine and
prison sentence. but before Pie
iuszka had seated himself. Mrs. Pie
tuszka sorrowfully hurried before
the bar and made her plea.
Mrs. Pietuszka said that certain
persons were relentless in "persecut-
ing" her husband; that she and her
husband had denied themselves in
every way to pay back the misap-
propriated money. She said losses
on horse races had been the prin-
cipal cause OF her husbands pecu!a-
tons. She impressed that the kill
ing OF their little son before their
eyes by an automobile truck some
time ago. had left its traces in the
conduct OF her husband.
