In just about as much time as
it takes to walk out of and back
into a Police Court chamber, a
jury of nine men and three women
today decided George E. Cox, jr..
40, former District government
employe, was guilty of two counts
of larceny by trick.
He was accused of duping Miss
Lois Phelps. an attractive bru-
nette, out of $25 on April 7 and
SIS on April 81. Miss Phelps had
run afoul of the law and was fac
ing a 90-day Jail term. Cox,
according to testimony, convinced
her he was related to Judge Ed
ward M. Curran and could fix her
case so she wouldn't have to serve
the time. She gave him the money
but she also served the time.
Judge Curran appeared as a
witness at the trial before Judge
Walter ]. Casey, denied he was
even acquainted - much less re-
lated to Cox. He also denied that
Cox had taken him and Mrs. Cur
ran out to dinner on the $40
which was the way Cox told Miss
Phelps he expended the money.
