Grillion,| graduate in music of the Convent of Mary Immaculate, is now in process of formation to which all young people between the ages of 12 and 16 years who are interested in music are requested to enroll as members. Miss Grillion is very much in-; terestéd in the success of this club, it is stated, and thinks that/ it will make the young people | become more interested in their |i musical education as it will afford an opportunity to give them the} knowledge of the origin of music an@ its advancement up to the present day; also a study of the various noted composers, their lives and achievements. A descrip- tion of the Opera, Symphony Or- chestra and Oratorio and Cantata will ‘also be a part of the course. ‘The plan of the meetings, the Mirpt of which will be held in the ngar future, will be that of con- ducting the business of the club at. Seopening of the session, which be under the direction of the > lmanied to be selected at the meeting. This,will be followed by -the study-of musical history after which there will be a short musical program rendered by different members of the club. Musical ‘ames will be indulged in for which a prize will be offered, with re- freshments to be served just prior to the closing of the session. Miss Grillion, it is shown, who is much interested in this matter for the welfare of those who may be musically inclined, is offering her services free in order to give the young people of the community a chance to gain a knowledge of the historical side of music, and to keep them interested in their musical education, with a view of having them look forward with pleasant anticipation toward the future meetings of the club which it is believed will furnish much entertainment for the many who are expected to enroll to take advantage of the opportunity af- forded for enlightenment along musical lines, Those wishing to enroll, it is stated, should do so as soon as possible as there will not be more than 25 enrolled. Those interested are requested to call on Miss Gril- lion at her home, 1014 Southard street or on the second floor of the Renedo building on Duval street, where she is employed in the of- fices of an insurance company lo- cated there.

I note that Judge Harris stated Mrs. Manuela Perdoma, 63, Dies Here This Morning Mrs. Manuela Perdoma, 63 years old, died in the home, 1212 Angela street, 12:50 o’clock this morning. Funeral services will be held from the residence at 5 o'clock this afternoon, Rev. Louis Oser, of {Ea Trinidad Church, of- ficiating. Pritchard’s Funeral Home will be in charge of arrange- ments. Julian Perdoma, widower, is the lone survivor of the family. as follows: “T admit that from what I hear Hall is as guilty as your boys, but he was charged with receiving stolen property and not with grand larceny, I gave him the most I could, one year in the county jail. L. Rivas, Negro Prisoner, Secures Release On Bond| ! Leo Rivas, negro, who shot Ernest Mussey, another negro, Monday night, was released on bonds of $500 yesterday after- The blame there, if any, lies with the county solicitor, and not with me. I have done my duty.” I am amused at Judge Harris’ statement that he could only give Hall one year in the county jail for the offense with which he was charged to-wit, receiving stolen property. Either the newspaper reporter got it wrong or Judge Harris is not familiar with sec- tion 7239, Compiled General Laws of Florida, which is as follows: “Whoever receives or aids in the concealment of stolen money, goods or property, knowing the same to have been stolen, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison not exceeding five years, or by fine not exceeding five hundred dollars.” Section 7240 of the same statute provides that: “When the act of stealing the property is not by law a felony, if the party convicted of receiving such stolen property makes satis- faction to the party injured to the full value of the property stolen and not restored, he shall not be imprisoned im the state prison.” The above law.is plain and J.can not see why.the judge said that because 7, the’ county? : solicito had charged “‘Nofie”> Hall with.re- ceiving stolen property, he could not be sent to the penitentiary. His Honor could have sentenced him to the penitentiary for five years if he so chose. If Hall was not sent to the penitentiary, it was because of the aid he had given the state in the arson and robbery cases. Hall was the man who gave the first tip that caused the round- ing up of this gang and he was ready and did testify in open court, but not because I had charg- ed him with an offense that he could not be sent to prison, The fyear 1932, for approval, noon by Sheriff Niles. Massey, now in the Mercedes hospital, is expected to recover from the wound.

I secured the evidence and. filed informations and secured convic- tions in fourteen different rob- beries and one arson case and I feel that I did my duty the best I knew how and I should not be criticized for any sentences impos- ed by the judge.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO CITY TAX PAYERS The Tax Assessor of the City of Key West, Florida, having sub- mitted to the City Council his pre- liminary assessment roll for the all per- sons desiring to have corrections thereof made, whether in listing valuation of property or otherwise, are hereby notified that said as- last mentioned section of the sta-;S8¢ssment roll will be in the City tute prohibits the judge from send- ing the defendants to the peniten- tiary when the receiving of the stolen property in law does not amount to a felony (of the value of less than $50.00) and if satis- faction is made to the party in- jured to the full value. In the instant case, Hall plead guilty to receiving $58.10 worth of proper- ty that wis stolen by Wells and} Weech from Theodore Knowles’ | Tee-Cream Parlor.
