IN BRAWLEY

+. NJ. Campbell and f. G. Eng
man, arrested in FL Centre recently
and convicted on charges of sale
and transportation of narcotics, are
said to have turned over drugs val
ucd at close to $500 to authorities.
The surrender of the drugs was
made after the men had been com
mitted to San Quentin pcnitentiary
and at their own VolitiOn.
Engman directed officers to a
place in Brawley where the drugs
had been hidden. The drugs had
been taken from the place hut fur
thcr investigation revealed where
they had been cast out by the find
cr and the narcotics not destroyed
were turned over to authorities.
Engman and Campbell were
brought before Judge Finney again
yesterday afternoon and in the ease
of the former, the court re-sentcnc-
ed him, ruling that his two scntenc-
cs in the penitcntiary might run
concurrently. This was in return
for turning over the narcotics and
an understanding that appeal to the
conviction would not be taken.
In the ease of Campbell the ar
raignment was to allow the prosccu-
tion to amend the supplemental in
formation in the case. This was
done and plea Of guilty entered by
Campbell. The court rc-scntenccd
Campbell to the penitentiary on the
three counts against him. The re
sentencing of Campbell had no ef-
feet on the previous sentence made
by the court
While Kendall b. Perkins, attor-
ncy for the defendants, has not
withdrawn his notice of appeal it is
expected that this win be done soon
in order that the men may be com
mitted to san Quentin.
