The Dickinson Drug CO. 169 & 171 Main Street whereby junk dealers .must report their purchases each week and are also forbidden to buy from children, is evidenced from the vigorous prose- cutions that have taken place during the past week. This morning two more junk men were arraigned in court and both were severely fined by Judge James T. Meskill. Fined $25 and Costs. ‘Abraham Kadunsky was chargcs with failure to report and with buy- ing junk from minors. He at first pleaded guilty but when confronted with the articles he was alleged to have bought his lawyer, F. B. Hun- gerford, had him change his plea to not guilty. Detectiv Sergeant Bamforth told of recovering the junk from a Grove street junk dealer’s yard and said that the proprietor had told him he had purchased it from Kadunsky. When arrested Kadunsky admitted buying the articles from the boys and begged to be let off, saying he had made a mistake and would not do it again. Each of the bovs who sold the junk also declared that Kadunsky was the man who bought it. Lawyer Hungerford, when con- fronted with these facts, offered no contradictory evidence but pleaded for his client. Prosecutor Klett op- posed leniency, saying that it is men like Kadunsky who make boys steal. ‘““What makes boys steal is these men buying from them and thereby en- couraging the boys to become crim- inals,” he said. Judge Meskill im- posed a fine of $25 and costs. Another Dealer Fined. The next case was that of Maneriski, charged with not report- ing his purchases and also with buy- ing scrap from minors. He pleaded guilty and was defended by Lawyer M. D. Saxe. Maneriski was charged with buying a stolen copper boiler, worth $3.50 from the boys and pay- ing them forty cents for it. His law- ver admitted the purchase but said his client did not know it had been stolen and was ignorant of the law regarding purchasing junk from chil- dren. A fine of $10 and costs for buying from children was imposed and an additional fine of $5 and costs was imposed for failure to report his purchas i After a whispered conference with ! his client, Lawver Saxe asked if his client might be placed on probation as he had no money with which to pay his fine. Judge Meskill was in- clined to grant the request until he looked up the man’s record. He found that he has a substantial bank account and so informed Lawyer Saxe who at once withdrew his request for time payment and himself stated he would use this information to secure his own fee. | Boys Get No Fees. After the case had been settled Lawyer Hungerford took the floor and called Judge Meskill's attention to the last case of a similar nature at which he had acted. After court, he id, “I walked down th¥& street and w the boys who had testified. One said,‘Gea, stole lead, got arrested, got nothing and they gave us money’. | Before he could continue Prosecut- | or Klett rallied to the defense of the | court and said, ‘“‘Are vou going to se the court?”. o} “Well what is yvour motive for mak- ing such statements?” “I ask that no witness fees be al- lowed these boys for testifving. They themselves are the thieves”. The judge granted his request. Later all the boys were tried in chambers for theft and were placed on probation. HERALD STORY MAY FREE REV.
