Galiney Hits Practice | —Di Mauro Found Guilty The practice of paying a police agent” to purchase liquor in viola- tion of the law “amounts to almost a felony,” according 1o Attorne Cyril F. Gaffney, who represente Vincenzo DiMauro, -aged 33, of 329 Church street, in police court toda DiMauro being charged with violat- ing the law on January 26 and also with being a third offender. Attor- ney Gaffney said he did not intena that his declaration should be in- terpreted as an attempt to condone the violation but rather that it be considered in mitigation of the pen- alty.

The revocation of the suspended | jail sentence caused the question to arise whether or not DiMauro would be obliged to go to jail be- |fore his case reached superior |court.

The 30 days’ | jail sentence must be served in ad- dition to whatever penalty the su- perior court imposes, but it will not be started until the superior court acts on the probable cause finding.
