sentence should be imposed.
Sergeant O'Mara testified that he
arrested the woman Wednesday
forenoon after she had been caught
In the Davidson & Leventhal store.
She had a shopping bag in which
were = few bundles she had bought
and paid for and the stolen articles.
She defended her action by saying
she was in a hurry to reach home
and the store clerks were too busy
to wait ON her, so she helped her
self as she saw other women do.
Judge SAKE said he took no stock
in the claim that Mrs. Merilla was
prompted to commit the theft by the
slowness of the store clerks. He told
Attorney Cassale to impress upon
Mrs. Merilla that il she comes before
the court on a charge of this nature
again the fact that she has three
children will not save her from a
Jail sentence.
