broke into tears yesterday when
a judge suspended a 60-day as
sault sentence given him and
an Army friend.
They were accused of beat
ing a man after forcing his car
off the road.
Judge Forrest B. Wall of
Municipal Court told Stickles
and Robert P. Behm, %, of
Steger, ILL.,, he was reluctant
to suspend the sentences and
said he knew his action would
be contrary to public opinion.
But, he said, looking at the
overall picture, I feel that in
making these men serve 40 to
so days would result in jeop-
ardizing their future. Since it
is the purpose of the court to
consider the rehabilitation of
persons convicted, as we'll as
the punishment, I feel that
more harm would result If these
men were sent to jail. I
hope they have learned a lesson
from this assault"
