where Rogers a was stopped and
that where the body of Michael
was fished out of about ten or
twelve feet Of water.
Judge ]. A. Rousseau sentenced
the former officer to serve thirty
days in jail, to be assigned to the
roads, which was the maximum

from the first day of court, which
meant that virtually one week oil
