Or so thinks Sylvia Marder, 17, and she ought to know. This young lady's career in “crime” is not of long standing, but sh2 knows that she has experienced more than enough of the fale of those who become entangled with the grim law. 8ylyia, it seems, was sitting on the beach at Comn sland one pleasant day recently when a blue- coat, who had no resemblance to the nice day, avers Sylvia, saun- tered along. It wouldn't have been 50 unfortunate for ths fair beach lounger ¥ the copper had just sauntered. But his keen eyes spled one shoulder strap of the girl’s bathing suit, which had failed ‘o do its duty properly. In fact, it was hanging over Sylvia's shoul- der, exposing a bit of that part 5f her anatomy. Policeman’s Opinion The aforementioned policeman Zelt right then and there that such illeged immodesty, intentional or stherwise, should meet the law in nortal combat. Sylvia was taken before Judge Steers. She pleaded aot guilty and was ordered to re- urn several days later. When ask- xd by the Clerk of the Court at the second hearing whether she yas “guilty” or “not guilt she s said by her attorney, Francis D. aitta, to have been misled by the juestion. At any rate, she admit- ed that her bathing suit shoulder strap had slipped down and the clerk informed the court the plea ~as ‘“guilty,” The next step in the famous shoulder .strap affair, which has rocked New York bathing beaches :ven caused other raspectable young ladies to’ let their straps fall a trifle to ‘witness the effect, cata- logued Sylvia as a criminal. $5 and Day in Jail She was sentenced to a $5 fine or a day in jail. Being without ‘unds, Sylvia was forcad to subject herself to being fingerprinted, pho- ographed for the choice collection of rogues’ likenesses and was tossed nto a cell, In filing an appeal in the courts to have oficials destroy thz finger- orint and photograph record, Sylvia and her attorney protest the forg- ing of a criminal chain of circum- stances about her. They have call- ed to the judiciary’s attention the fact that if M Marder ever is In a civil suit, a lawyer may ask her if it were true that she had ed by the police. Could Not Explain her answer to “yes,” without being permitted fo explain that the record a shoulder strap on her bathing suif, according to her attorney. Sylvia’s conviction on a purely city ordinance, not involving any criminal practice, Mr. Saitta says, should be set aside entirely with the provision that she receive a new trial. Her lawyer was voci- practice of taking permanent rec- ords of persons charged with viola- ting city ordinances and declared that a distinction should be made between decent people who inno- | Bathing Suit Slip Lands Girl in Jail as Crim{nal Maiden Lets Shoulder Strap with whispered comments and has| called as an ordinary witnsss, even | been ‘fingerprinted and photograph-' She, could be required to restrict' involved only the letting down ot | ferous in his denguncement of the || * tests Her Being Subjected * * to Finger Printing, Photographed as Tossed Into Cell.
