dictate and they said they were
going to give me some advice"
Swiz denied that he was a fugi-
tive when he said that there were
no subpoenas served on him be-
fore he left and his attorneys con-
tended that all the indictments had
been brought back ''long after he
was a resident of the State of Flo
rida."
In passionate plea for reduc-
ton in bond so that he could take
Swift to see Governor Warren in
Tallahassee for hearing, attor-
ney Hubbard pointed his finger at
Panati and shouted, 'They want
this man back in Philadelphia so
that they can make a stool pigeon
out of him. They want him to 60
back and inform on the very peo-
pie who have threatened his life.
He is just small timer in the
numbers racket. They don't arrest
the big Shots"
Swift had earlier testified that
lie didn't know as much as they
thought he did,"
Attorney Hubbard, in his final
appeal said that there is no moral
issue involved. He pointed out that
there would be no lottery sellers if
people didn't buy numbers.
When the question of the five
nisdemeanors held against the de-
;endant came up, Hubbard main
tained that under the Florida Bill
of Rights, the $4,000 bond figure
"defied the fundamentals behind
bail theory"
He said that all of Switz' assets
are in Key West and that they
consist Of $4,000 equity in a
shrimp boat.
That Swift was not taken by sur
prise when he was arrested over
a week ago came out when he said
that the night before he was taken
into custody. he was at the home
Of the parents of the small boy
who pointed out his picture on the
wall at the police station as ."Un-
Gle Mike" when they asked him
about it.At that time, he made up
his mind not to run. II was tired
of ducking," he said this morning.
When his record of ,16 previous
arrests dating back. ID 1941 came
up for discussion, Swift shrugged
them off saying, that when you are
arrested for gambling in Philadel-
phia, it is understood that you
|, plead guilty and pay a fine
District Attorney Panati said that
since the new (Democratic) re-
gime has come into power In Phila-
delphia, that the practice of 'cop.
ping a plea" has been done away
with in such cases.
Hubbard said that he hoped to
take Swift before the Governor
to show that since coming to
Florida his character has been
exemplary. He said that he had
engaged in a legitimate business
and was in no way connected
with racketeering here and that
the shrimps business was not the
easiest way to make living.
He added that he had letters
testifying to the character Of
Switz from the Key West Chief
of Police and members Of the
City Commission as well as the
people he has done business with
in this city.

he has a wonderful temperament,
