tinuance until tomorrow, and the
police had the matter in hand after
court. If it is learned that Mankus
license was suspended, he will be
charged with driving while it was
under suspension. which is more
serious a charge than that of driv-
ing without a license.

that Mankus was driving a car
which had been reported stolen. He
had companion at the time. and
when asked by Mr., Greenstein
whether or not he wished to say
anything, he made the claim that

censed operator. He had permission
from his sister to drive the car.
Through persistent questioning, Mr..
Greenstein brought out that Man
