part of the same jury which had
been on one of the other liquor
/ cases. Inasmuch as the facts in all

the attorney held that the Zobel
case should have been continued
until another term.
Judge Crosby held that all three
! had been tried fairly and had been
ably represented-tha the defense
had made a strong case There had
been no outside influence, no per-
suasion in connection with the

Although the chief complaining

to reach the decision they did.
The court held this was poor tes-

timony that would convict. Judge
Crosby felt that all three had had
fair trial and let the judgment
stand.
Duren Sentence
When Peter Duren stepped be-
fore the bar he was informed by
the court that he had been con-
yicted on two counts and was ask
ed if he had anything to say.
Duren replied that he was not
guilty.
The judge again informed him
that he had been found guilty by
jury and again asked him if he
had anything to say.
He offered nothing.
Judge Crosby then told him that
this was his second offense and
that the least that could be done
was to double the previous fine and
give him a Jail sentence. He
then told the defendant that the
sentence would be to pay fine of
$500 and to spend two months in
the county jail - in all four
months in case the fine was not
paid.
The court then asked him if he
were married to which he replied
that he had a wife and a child, ten
years old. Duren said that he had
no property.
The court then stated the SEN
tence should be under the Huber
law-that the sheriff should find
work for Duren and that he should
pay $25 each month for the sup
port of the wife and daughter.
Judge Crosby informed the pris-
oner that he did not like to do this
but that it was a part OF his duty
and that he hoped it would be
lesson to him.
The attorney then applied for
writ of error which was not
granted. The court informed the
attorney that he might have until
Saturday noon to obtain a writ
from one of the judges of the
supreme court. This step is not
probable.
Glossy Sentenced
When Dennis Glossy appeared
before the judge, he said he was
not married. The court then in
formed him that this was his Sec
ond offense, that his sentence
should be two months in jail and
$500 and costs. If the amount is
not paid the total time in Jail is
to be four months.
In addressing the defendant
Judge Crosby told him that if he
did not believe in the prohibition
law he should use his efforts to
have it repealed but not to violate
it. One cannot be a good Ameri-
lean citizens, the court told him,
and disobey the prohibition act. 1t
is part of the constitution and
must be obeyed. He was warned
that he will land in states prison if
he appears in this court on the
charge again.
ZobeI Pays Fine
When the court asked Art Zobel
how old he was he said he was
aged 20 years. He had nothing to
say and his attorney asked for
leniency because it was his first
offense. The court then told him
that this should be a lesson to
him and that he had seen the 9TH
ers given sentences. Judge Crosby
then gave him the same sentence
that he had given Duren and Clos
sey when they were in court the
first time, that is, to pay a fine
of 500 and costs or spend 80 days
in the county Jail.
Zobels father paid the fine.
The alleged crimes were com
