MAN SENTENCED TO PENITENTIARY CONFESSED GUILT BEFORE CASE WAS HEARD IN CRIMINAL COURT) Now that Curtis Crowell has been sents --d to the peniten- tiary for two years, on a charge of forgery, it may be disclosed that, while he was waiting for his case to come up in the Mon- roe County Criminal Court of Record, he wrote to Judge William V. Albury confessing guilt but pleading that the sentence be sus- pended. At the time a Citizen reporter heard about the letter, he was told that its contents could not be referred until the case against Crowell had been disposed of. One reason Crowell gave, in ask- ing for a suspended sentence, was that his wife had “egged him on to get more money,” and then he spoke about his being a college graduate and promised to pay back, the. money he had obtained. from his forged checks. sire “I asked him ‘When?’” Judgé| Albury said today, “and he repli ‘Some day.‘” n Crowell pleaded guilty to forg- ing and cashing 15 checks in Key West. Judge Albury explained to- day that he sentenced Crowell on only one count, and that sentences on the other 12 counts have been deferred. In the event that Crow- ell, after he has served his term in prison, commits another crime, >. he can be sent back to the peni- tentiary on any or all of the defer- red sentences. RETAILERS AND WHOLESALERS OF ~ PROCESSED FOODS MUST REGISTER The Processed Foods Rationing plan went into effect March Ist, 1943; and between April Ist and 10th, 1943, Retailers and Whole- salers of processed foods must register, OPA rationing order No. 3, dat- ed Feb, 25, 1943, requires that the following foods must open ration bank accounts: Retailérs whose gross sales of all foods in December, 1942, exceeded 45,000. Retailers who operate than one store. 5 Retailers not specifically. re- quired to open ration bank ac- counts may do so if they wish. Wholesalers and Processors must open Ration Bank Accounts. Institutional users in Group 11 or 111 may open ration bank ac- counts. Section 1305,441, General Ra- tion Order No, 3A dated January 23, 1943 provides: The first ration bank accéunt of any person must be opened ‘at a bank where he has a dollar checking account. This means that retailers and others must open a ration bank account and { more do not carry a dollar checking ac- count in the Key West Bank, will} have to arrange for ration bank account where their dollar account is kept. Institutional users in Group 11 or 111 who need to subdivide their certificates into smaller denominations will want to open ration bank accounts since their certificates cannot be divided by the local boards. The local, board will exchange, for Retailers who-are not required to have ration bank accounts, and for consumers valid certificates for certificates in different denomina- tions. The local board again advises all retailers and wholesalers that they may anticipate difficulty with their registration forms on April 1st, and that a member of the local board will meet with them in a group for discussion and explanation of the requirements. Our experience with the registra- tion of institutional users war- rants us giving the above advise to those concerned. E. P.
