Judge Urges Power
10 Suspend Sentence
After Hearing Woman

Municipal Court Judge Milton
S. Kronheirn, Jr., today, while
convicting a woman of pulling a
false fire alarm, took the oppor-
tunity to campaign for the power
of his court to impose suspended
sentences.
The judge got in his licks for
the new power. recommended by
the Board of Municipal Court
Judges recently, in the false
alarm case against Mrs. Ruth
Stoddard. 20, colored, of 1924 Half
street Sc. -
Mrs. Stoddard admitted she
turned in the alarm at a box
near her home August 8. But
she said she did so because, about
midnight of that date, some SOL
diers started throwing bricks into
her front yard where she and her
two children were sitting. Fright
ened. she said, she pulled the
alarm "for my own protection j
was scared for the kids"
Despite arguments by the wom..
ans attorney, c. D. Artis, that his
clients act was not willful, Judge
Kronheim said he would have to
find her guilty, but added: .
Here's a perfect example of
the need for a law to enable
Municipal Court judges to sus-
pend imposition of sentences. We
don't have that power at this
time. Consequently, I will i'm
pose SIS fine.
However, I'm going to con-
tinue this case and give this wom-
an until March /, 1851, to pay the
fine. If Congress or the Com
missioners in the meantime give
this court the necessary powers
which we have asked for, I will
suspend payment of this fine at
that time" ....
Judge Kronheim then took the
woman's personal pledge to re-
appear in court on March / for
final disposition. ..
