Alcorn in the superior court today in presenting Harry Bliss and Donald Siegel of Providence, R. I.. for sentence, The accused had pleaded guilty to charges of trans- porting liquor and with possession of liquor with intent to sell, Mr. Alcorn informed Judge Maltbie that the quality of citizenship of the men who had pleaded guilty to boot- legging was quite as good as that of the men they had served in tils com- munity. He said the scandal had stirred the community and undoubt- v would have a wholesome effect as it demonstrated the reasonable cer- tainty that sooner or later exposure and humiliation will become. He promised to move against purchaser in the future regardless of who they are, Time For Action He declared he believed it time for the boards of directors of banking in- stilutions, insurance companies and the great corporations to promulgate an order that in the future those in their employ who violate the liquor law shall be expelled fram service, The state's attorney said it the statute he plans to enforce against the purchasers does not meet the require- ments, then new legislation will be neeossary which will provide for loss of citiaonship, As to Bliss and Siegel, Mr., Alcorn told the court he would leave the manner of punishment to the judge. In Bliss' behalf, Attorney Josiah Peck told the court that there was a stream of liquor pouring through Providence, that Rliss was not an un- usual bootlegger as other had had a more extensive business, Attorney Nathan O, Freedman spoke for Siegel, telling the court he ! doubted it the magnitude of the erime | had deen realized by the men until af- ter their rrest, Nine Months in Jail I Judge Maltbie sentenced Bliss and Siegel to nine months in the couhty ail.
