URGES CURB ON SALE +OF DEADLY WEAPONS Judge Mnattingly Scores “Crime- Producing Trade” in Sextencing . Gun “Toter.” Drastic steps should be takén to stop the ease with which persons may purchase all kinds of deadly weapons, from brass knuckles to piStols, in ‘Washington, Judge Robert E. Mat- tingly declared in Police Court yes- terday, when he sentenced James Corbett, colored, to pay $100 fine or serve three months in jail for carry- ,ing a concealed deadly weapon. Mattingly called.attention to that second-hand stores @ stone’s throw of the court v pistols, brass knuckles knives for sale, tempting pedes- o buy the weapons that may als of them. ng should be done to end ous trade,” the jurist said. “It is a business that makes criminals of what otherwise might be law-abid- | ki ing citizens. 1 would suggest that all dealers in deadly weapons be required to give a big surety bond and that the law make it almost impossible for | ki a man to purchase such implements. “I would make it mandatory for the dealers to obtain records of all per- sons buying weapons, and then hold the dealers responsible under their bonds. Furthermore, the display of these weapons should be absolutely | [ prohibited.” Corbett was arrested when he at- tempted to force his wife. from whom hie had been estranged. to live, with him again by threatening to shoot her. 75 CASES UNDER DRY LAW TO BE HEARD TOMORROW |}« No Anaignmen‘s Today Due to Consideration of Bill of Excep- tions in Pending Suit.
