Trio Awaiting Sentence
In $1,000 Larceny Case

Connie A. Powers, 4s; Charles U.
James, so, and William F. Van SAINT,
As, are awaiting sentence on a
charge of larceny after trust of
$4,000 from Harry v. Chippas, a
former restaurant proprietor. They
were found guilty of the charge
Tuesday night by District Court
jury.
Justice James w. Morris, who
presided at the trial, ordered a di-
rected verdict of not guilty on a
charge of grand larceny in con-
nection with the same offense. He
likewise ordered a directed verdict
of not guilty on a charge of con-
spiracy to commit grand larceny on
: which the trio was named in an
indictment. ~
The Government contended the
three got the money from Mr..
Chippas under the pretext of OBJ
tanning beer for him. The de-
fense, however, maintained that Mr..
Chippas had lost the sum in a card
game with the three defendants and
. two other men. This Mr.. Chippas
. denied.
The trio was prosecuted by As
sistant United States Attorney John
l.. 1ngoldSby, jr. Justice Morris did
not set a date for imposing sentence.
The trial began last week.
