DISCHARGE MAN
IN THEFT CASE

After the state had completed its
testimony i'll the case against Juan
Pastola, charged with stealing an au-
tomobile at Calexico last week, John
A. Berry, counsel for the defense,
entered motion for dismissal of
the case in Department No. / of
the superior court Wednesday, al
leging insufficient evidence to con
Wet. Judge Franklin j. Cole sus-
tanned the motion and ordered dis
missal entered on the recopds and
that Pastola be discharged from Gus,
tcdy.
1t was alleged that Pastola was
caught red handed in the act of
stealing a car from in front of the
Calexico cotton exchange. This he
denied and the evidence presented
by the state did not seem strong
enough to warrant going through
with the case.
