SELLERS OF INDECENT
PAPERS FACE JAIL
Keogh Issues Warning After Two
Are Convicted of Distribut-
ing Brevities.

A warning that news dealers and dis
tributors. and wherever possible pub
fishers, will be prosecuted for violations
of the indecent literature section of the
District code was issued yesterday by
Assistant United States Attorney Mich
ael F. Keogh.
The warning came after Judge Isaac
R. Hit had sentenced Joseph Often
stein, president of the District News
Co., distributors of the Washington
Brevities. to 1870 days in jail and $500
Iine or $50 days additional. George j..
Winters manager of the District News
Co., arrested along with Ottenstein, was
given a suspended sentence of $500 fine
or 180 days. The men had been con-
victed on a charge of possession of in
decent literature, namely the August
81 issue of BrevitieS.
Keogh said he had investigated and
discovered the Brevities was published
in Baltimore and that the publishers
were not prosecuted as they were not
within the jurisdiction of the local
court. The warning to news dealers,
Keogh said, was prompted when he was
informed Brevities is still being pub
lished.
After the sentence attorneys for OF
tenstein informed Judge Hit they
would carry the case to the District
Court Of Appeals and a bond was set
pending hearing of the appeal.
