E. SCOSSA GETS
JAIL SENTENCE
WITH BAISO, MUST SERVE
TEN MONTHS AND PAY
SS00.00 FINE

Eugene Scossa and John Besio
who had pleaded guilty to the charge
lof making liquor in Douglas county
were sentenced by Judge E. S. Far
rington late last Thursday to serve
ten months in the Washoe County
Jail and to pay a fine of $500 each.
In passing sentence Judge Earring
ton explained that the men had
pleaded guilty to three felony charg-
es and were being shown leniency
because they did not take advantage
OF defect in the search warrant in
their case and because they had en-
tered pleas of guilty.
Regarding the case Attorney ALI
Chartz, their counsel addressed the
following letter to the Carson Ap-
peal:
With reference to the Scossa-Besio
sentences: Pleading in mitigation OF
sentences from Fort Leavenworth To
the Washoe county jail, | stated to
the court that | had thoroughly ex-
planned to the defendants that the
affidavit upon which the search
warrant was based was utterly in
sufficient, and that | could move to
quash the indictments and get them
clear, but that they said it made no
difference how the officers found
them out. they were guilty, and
wanted to take their punishment and
never offend again. Judge Earring
ton did not say, as reported in the
News, that ! had not seen fit to, take
advantage of palable defect in the
search warrant Il was because the
defendants had not taken advantage
of a defect in the affidavit upon
which the search warrant was based
and their plea of guilty, the judge
explained, for the mitigation of
sentence.
My clients would not be entitled to
credit or mitigation of sentence by
any dereliction of duty on my part,
but | should be disbarred from prac-
tice, were | guilty of such a thing,
and | consider Judge Harrington the
very last of many judges before
whom | have practiced in thirty
years to charge me with wilfuI de-
reelection.
The sentence of ten months each
and a fine of $500 each may be con
sldered severe, as compared with the
Elges case, for instance: In addi-
tion to the charges brought against
Elges and Schnabell. Scossa and
Besio were charged with possession
of stills, etc, set up for operation
without first registering the sam,
with the Collector of Internal Reye
nue., and that they carried on th'
business of distiller, without having
given bond, with intent to defraut
the government of tax on spirits
and with making ferment, etc, in {
building other than distillery
authorized by law, forming three
counts upon conviction of any o.
which they could have been sentenc
ed to Leavenworth, being felonies.

appears that meeting is TO be held
In Gardner,ille tonight, or some other
night In the near future, at which
time the klan organizer will outline
the purposes and activities OF the
organization TO prospective members.
IL Is currently rum0red that the
ku klux klan has membership In
Nevada exceeding six thousand.
Very recently Reno residents re-
ported TO the police that they had
seen the blazing cross OF the Khan In
The vicinity OF the race track. Their
reports mere not taken seriously by
the 0fflcers, but with the persistent
rnm0rs ailloat this week relative TO
the klan's activity In Nevada, II
would appear that the burning cross
In Reno was an actuality.
The reported activity OF the klan
In Nevada, coming as II does at II
time following public exposure and
petty tights among the leaders OF the
organization; or unthr0ned leaders,
TO be more exact, l. indeed surpris-
Ing. People in the west had been

Haired mp In public fancy; lived Its
life, like a passing fancy, and had
Joined other organizations OF its type
In the darkness OF oblivion. But from
