Judge William V. sided with County Solicitor Allan B. Cleare, Jr., Clerk C. Sam B. Curry, Chief Deputy Bernard Waite and other officials in at tendance, The frist plea heard was that of John Sands. He was charged with vagragey and was caught !some few days ago striking match- es in the vicinity of the gasoline dock, and fearing the possible re- sults of this activity, business men in the vicinity reported the mat- ter. His plea of guilty netted a fine of $5 and costs or 30 days in jail. Next defendant called was Paul Russell. It was alleged that he wus very careless in the use of his language, and in the instance for which he was on trial it was de- cidedly profane. He pleaded guil- ty. The same fine and costs or alternative 30 days was announced by the bench. Last plea of guilty was enter- ed by Albert Henfield. He was ar- rested early in the week on a charge of -agrancy. The arrest was made at Tavernier by Deputy Bob Combs, who placed him on a iferry at Matecumbe and on his arrival at No Name Key was met and escorted to the jail by Dep- ‘uty Waite. He was arraigned before Peace Justice Lowe at Tavernier and |placed under bond of $100. He jwas also fined $5 and costs or 30 days in jail.
