Steve John, railroad worker, was
sentenced in Blue Earth district
court this morning to pay a fine Of
500 or serve ninety days in the
county Jail, following his conviction
on charge of possessing apparatus
for, the manufacture of Intoxicating

imposed on John because of the in
depreciation of the law by Judge
Comstock that the offense commit
ted by the defendant was a mere
misdemeanor as maintaining of a
nuisance, and as such could not be
given a straight jail sentence. The
Indictment upon, which John was
recently found guilty failed to men
ton the fact that the defendant had
been previously convicted upon the
same charge, which would have car
ried a sitter sentence for the de-
fendant. 4,
