A SENSIBLE JUDGE ‘One of the distressing -results of send- ing men to prison indiscriminately for all | sorts of offenses is that it often works a ter- ‘| wible ‘hardship on those dependent upon ‘them. Judge Nova of Brooklyn, is -one who irecognizes this, and in certain cases adopts practical means to protect innocent victims ofithe law’s operation. When Frank Bruno, who earns $50 a week, was brought before him recently and pleaded :guilty ito ‘having two wives, one with ‘two children and ‘the ‘other with one, ‘the judge said: “I would gladly send you to Sing Sing, but your two wives and their children would be the sufferers, | You wailipay'the | wife with two children $20 a week and the wife with oné child $15.” Thus five persons, who would have been deprived \of support ‘through sending ‘Bruno to the penitentiary, were. provided ‘for; while the culprit will be constantly re- minded of |his offense and is not Hest to repeat it. _..
