Lord yesterday af- ternoon 4 o’clock were Fernando Stirrup, and Armando Alphonso, who were given preliminary hearing on the charge of using an aeroplane without the consent of the owner. It was charged that they both went to the hangar and Stirrup represented that he had permis- sion of the owner plane. The person in charge of the hangar believed it was all right, as Stirrup had used the |plane on a number of occasions |before and he was allowed to | take it. | Stirrup and Alfonso went to |Miami Saturday and returned | Sunday and placed the plane in the hangar, but not before the owner, Daniel Lawson, had re- ported the matter to the sheriff's office, and caused the arrest of ;both of the men upon their re- turn. At the hearing yesterday af- \ternoon it was clearly proven that Alphonso was in no way re- sponsible, and he was dismissed. The case of Stirrup, as explained ‘to the judge-on incontrovertible testimony, was just different enough to warrant Judge Lord ¢ ordering him held on bond of a $100 until the next term of Crim- inal Court.
