Luther Pinder was found ; | terday afternoon in Judge Wes-. ley P. Archer’s municipal court, ' and was fined $50 on a suspended sentence. The charge, as outlined in yes- terday’s Citizen, had to do with the new building Capt. Pinder is erecting on United street. The structure has been planned to be ; considerably within the ten-foot limit set-back from the sidewalk ‘line and without proper free space on both sides. Five city councilmen, William Freeman, Leonard Grillon, John Carbonell, Ralph Boyden and Glenwood Sweeting, appeared and testified for the defendant, each asserting his opinion that the permit should be Branted to Capt. Pinder, three of them, in- cluding no-restrictions in their recommendation. Judge Archer, in passing sen- tence, however, stated that he {never thought he would see the time when a majority of the city~ council would testify in favor of a defendant charged with viola- ‘tion of a city law. He then passed sentence. It was on this legal status of the case that most observers yes- terday based their opinion that the case would go as it did. The permit was given to Capt. Pinder following enactment of the law, and regardless of previous ap- proval, the issuing of the permit upon plans stated, was a viola- tion. : Some members of the council indicated today that they would BRITISH REPORT SUCCESS IN DESTROYING ' to FORMER ALLY’S LARGEST BATTLESHIP (By Awssociated Press) LONDON, July 9.—British ad- miralty reported today that com- bined air and naval attacks near a North African port had been successful in putting the new French battleship, the 35,000-ton Richelieu, largest of France's navy, out of commission.

Heavy Air Fighting In this city, reports were heard of heavy fighting in various sec- tions of south and southeast En- gland where invading air fleets on bombing raids were met by fighter planes of the R.
