Slate For Hillrnan
Judge Slaughter Had Many Cases To
Dispose OF.

|
to clean up all unfinished business at
the Thursday session of Court and
while he was only partly successful
many cases were disposed of.
Most of the time of the Court was
taken up with sentencing and plead
ings as follows:
Foreman Wetherill, of Trenton, an
automobile salesman, arrested in
Mount Holly for speeding, the police
finding bottle partly full of liquor
in the car, through his counsel, "
Claude Palmer, pleaded ignorance OF
the liquor and said it belonged TO the
man who was driving car and who
was fined $25 for speeding by Mt.
Holly magistrate. He was sentenced
to pay a fine of SIS.
Sydney Brinkley, colored, of Roeb-
ling, charged with stealing about $500
worth of clothing, a radio set, etc.,
admitted he had the goods but ex-
planned that he took them with the
consent of the owner. He was sent
back to jail in default of $500 bail
while his story is being investigated.
Frank Walakowski, of Riverside,
pleaded guilty 10 having liquor in his
possession in his poolroom in that
town. Fined 5000.
Patrick Foy, of Burlington, charg-
ed with having liquor in his posses
sion, pleaded guilty but said he had
no recollection of what happened. He
is consumer only. Fined $50.

erton, pleaded guilty TO possession
and transporting liquor in Beverly.
He was fined $3.50 and his car was or
dered confiscated and will be sold.
John R. Conrad, of Maple Shade,
was before the court charged by his
wife with failure to provide for his
two children. It was shown that the
wife had left him and there was suf-
fcient evidence to show that Conrad
was not entirely to blame for their
differences. The Court told Conrad
that he must support the children but
that the Court of Chancery probably
had more jurisdiction in a case of
that kind than he had.
1t was expected that George j.
Cooney, of Mount Holly, who pleaded
guilty to conducting a gambling
house, would be sentenced, but his
counsel, v. Claude Palmer, asked to
have the matter go over until April
9th, and the request was granted.
Levi Abromawitz and his two sons,
Samuel and Abram, of Fairview,
stood before the Court convicted of
assault and battery on neighbor.
They were fined 500 each.
George Williamson, of Columbus,
was before the bar for the third time,
this time charged with the sale and
possession of liquor, he having been
fined for having gambling utensils
in his store and later sentenced to
thirty days in Jail for similar Of
Tense.
He was represented by V. Claude
Palmer, who pleaded that Mr.. Will
hanson was about to dispose of his
property and business to Geo. Bake
ly, of Vincentown, but Mr.. Kelsey
said this was probably scheme
to get rid of disorderly house
charge which still hangs over Will
liamson's head.
He escaped with a fine of $500.
Preston Weisner, of Riverside, who
pleaded guilty to embezzling SAG from
the Rein Motor Company, of River
side, and who has several Other
charges of similar nature awaiting
disposal by the grand jury, was fin
ed $780, 1t was shown that despite
the fact that he is we'll educated anc
above the average in intelligence hi
just can't go straight.
