;• THE JOURNAL-NEWS. NVACK. N. Y„ .TUESDAY, NOVEMBER .19, I940 of the crap-Rame story, said that he knew this applied to another former trooper and not to Maniun. ' Ho was then asked whether he After .White House Parley on Adjournment (CoMtiPiutd from t'aQt One) afalnat Manion had also been brought oout in the case against former Sheriff Cook, who was ac quitted. Ho also pointed out that the principal testimony against Manion had been that of Alfred Resnick, bootleg ring head, whoso testimony had been brought against Cook. * qucfttlona Cited Counsel for Manion also recollect* ed that during me com so of the trial, * district Attorney Burke | raised two questions which, said had anything to say on behalf of his client and made a brief plea for Manion. He pointed put that Man ion was 35 years old and had never had any conviction recorded against him. He recounted how Manion and. hia> brother-.werc bereaved at rly ago wne n their parents were killed in the Havorstraw •'landslide, ” and how their care had taken qver by an aunt. Steb- reviewed Manion various Jobs in Havorstraw and elsewhere ns well as his record in the county clerks office In 1937. IMcads for Manion ^ If convicted,\ said Stebbins, \he St«bblns 4 ,. ( affectcd the balance of a , will lose the respect and confidence fair trial.' One of thceo, ho said, Was the question asked by Burk • of several of Mnnion ’ s character witnesses as to'whether they ever knew that Manion \once held up crap-game, ” and (another about whether they (these character wit nesses) ever knew that Manion had been “ discfiargcd ” from the state police, of which body he-was ohefi a member. ^he r ' ‘ 'holdup\ incident, claimed Stebbihs, % never, existed. Of the questlqq,..v ’ of Manlon ’ s dischnigo frojn ■ ‘ ■^the. state police, Stebblns said there was nothing to it. Stebblns Also hit at the testlmohy offered by Mrs. Charles Munday of Spring Valley. As against the gov ernment ’ s witnesses, who identified Manion, sold Stebblns, the defend ant produced hi court two factual and eight character witnesses.-Mrs. Munday ’ s testimony should have been excluded, said Stebblns. ^ . Testimony Outweighed He also charged that the testi mony given by witnesses produced by Manion, more than outweighed that of the prosecution's witnesses, who had something to gain by tes tifying against the former deputy sheriff. • Burke replied briefly to the as sertion by Stebblna that Manion had not been discharged from the state police. The prosecutor said that he had this fact In writing. Stebblns continued to insist that Manion had not been - discharged from the state police and, speaking of the persons in hls own town and county. And despite the attempt that is made In these days to mane light of it, a mans name stiff la worth a great deal in Rockland County. Now he has lost the thing that is most cherished in the hearts of the men of l(iis community. 1 ask you that mercy temper Justice in -thlsYcase.\ Stchbins addressed the court about 20 minutes. \Very good, Mr. Stebblns,then commented Judge Inch. ,-~i ‘ utnii)g jtb the defendant, who Stood Just to Stebblna' right and a': little be hind him, flanked by a marshal, Judge Inch asked. Manion whether he had anything to say on hla own ^behalf. \No your Honor,\ answered Manion, \I have nothing to say.\ | He was neatly dressed, us usual, and gave no outward sign of ner vousness nn the moment of sen tence neared.

Burke did not oppose this. Again, after Manio n hurriedly consulted With hls counsel, the latted asked the court whether he would oppose any attempt by MAhlon 1o gain his parole. The judge said he would not. \Thank you, your Honor, ” said Manion. ^ 1 Immediately afterward, accom panied by hls counsel, Stebblns, and by LeRoy Earl, the latter* aasletant during (ho trial, Manion. left \the courtroom. T Garrison, who had been sentenced Just prior to Manion, but who hfui gone to the back of the court room to sit with aome friends, got up at this point and left the room, too. Two Othera Sentenced Then the court turned to the .sen tences of the \lesser\ defendanta. When Huott and Llnguanti were brought before him, Judge Inch almply told the t.wo youths that they ahould not have become mixed up in the bootleg business. Re marking that he did not wish to ruin their live* at their very out set, Judge Inch *aid that he fell they did the right thing when they entered their pleas of gujlty. ' \If you had not done *o, and had decided to run the risk of sticking to your stories and standing trial, there might be a different disposi tion today. ” He went on to say that he had consulted &ith the boy*' counsel, Sommer, and with the Federal prosecutor, and that he had the approval of Burke to suspend the imjfOBltion of any sentence at all, Instead, he said, he would place both of them on two years proba tion. Earlier, In sentencing Ganeo, Judge Inch commented on the fact that Sommer had pleaded all of hls clients guilty. Advice Called Wise \Mr. Sommer's advice to plead guilty Was wise, and showed a care ful consideration of the best inter ests of the case in each Instance \ Patrick J. McGill, as counsel for Garrison, also moved to set aside client ’ s conviction on the grounds that it was contrary to law and to the facts adduced at the trial. ' The move was denied by the court. i a brief plea, McGill pointed out to the court how the mere con viction in the case and the atten dant publicity on It had been, In hls opinion, punishment enough for Garrison. He pointed out-that Gar rison had previously led an ex- qAplary life. Asked whether he Jaad anything to say, the Orange County coroner merely replied: \1 feel very sorry to be here, your Honor. ” Judge Inch said that Garrison had been fairly tried and adjudged guilty.

Almost anything that a rlvercraft may need at any given time wlrf be supplied by the Westcott Arm in its two high-powered eight-cyl inder launches operating from the Firit St. dock, according to J. W. Westcott Jr. who with Weatcott 8r. heads the company — the only one of^ its kind in the city. Located l n * dingy, weatherbeat en three-story red-brick building facing the river at the foot of First St., the Weateotts direct 13 em ployees In the various and diverse Jobs that come their way.

By Internal onnl News Service M1TCHEL FIELD, N. Y., Nov. 19 (INS) — Twenty men for every girl at a dance!

Needless to. say. the girls had «. wow of an evening. Just as soon ns one male partner tripped a few steps on the dance floor, several of hls mates lined up qnd began s series of \cut-ins.\ The upshot of the evening vlas that the 75 girls who attended,' were ‘ rushed\ as never before by the 1,500 soldiers. Reason for the dearth of girls is that few of the enlisted men at the port stay for a long period and ’ thus do not become acquainted with young girls who live nearby. trial. He also praised th work of McGill. Garrison Sentenced behalf during thc_| furnaces to provide hot water for trial \In imposing sentence on you and one like it on the man who is to follow you, there are two things to be remembered,\ said Judge Inch. \One of those is to punish you, the other is to have that# sen tence net as a deterrent on others. You were in a high position in the .euunty of Orange, were highly re spected. There was no excuse at all for It, In my opinion, except thuk you thought you could make some money. The sentence of the court is that you be Incarcerated in some place na may be designated by the Federal attorney for a period of two years and pay a fine of $2,500, to stand committed until paid.\ McGill asked that t-hc execution of the sentence bo suspended, to which Judge Inch commented that he had been asked by both McGill and Stebblns to permit both Man- Ion and Garrison time to arrange their personal affairs. Burke said that he would not object to a two weeks «tay of the execution of the sentence. Then came Manion'a sentence. Walt Probation Report In all, 27 defendants were sched uled to be arraigned for sentence yesterday but, as indicated by Judge Inch, since the probation of fice had not been able to take care of all the cases in time for sen tence, only the eight men would have sentence passed on them. The sentence of the 19 other defendants will bo on December 9 at 10:30 o'clock, Judge Inch ruled. Moat of these were men who were arrested at the stills cited in the Federal indictment which named 44 persona in all. All of them pleaded guilty, either before the trial of the case or during it. The only two convictions by jury were those of Manion and Garri son. Included in the group' to be sen tenced next month are: Thomas Busch of Stony Point, Dominick and Frank Pcleggi of Congers, Vin cent Reilly of West Haverstraw, John W. Rose of Mount Ivy, Jo seph Skrzat of Orangeburg, Charles Munday of Spring Valley, and Ren. Jones of Mount Ivy. Busch, Rose, and Munday all testified In the modern showers and bathrooms Each barracks will house 82 men, Plan Several Theaters In addition, the Major and hls i men will build several roads over the 13,000 acres that comprise the reservation and erect a 1000-bed hospital. Furthermore, there will bo several theaters so the men will not have to hike to nearby Leban on to sec Hedy Lamarr. Each barracks will have its own mess hall prcelded over by national guard cooks. If the guard runs short of cooks and helpers they; can draw upon the regular army for help. 1 With so many buildings, there Is always the possibility of fire but the army is taking no chances. Three fire stations will be erected, equipped and manned by the troops. There will be a complete telephone and radio system. And, just to keep the record straight, there may be several \hostesses ” In each camp. Alms for Jfcn. Deadline Major Kay, who is the official \hurry up man\ for the army in getting cantonments ready for the soldiers, works from a gigantic blueprint and directs the work of 2000 pioneer troops. He is con fident he'll have the reservation ready for the first contingent of troops on the January 1 deadline. The army has pointed everything toward efficiency without overlook ing recreation, comfort and health. Another big encampment Is be ing laid out at Camp Shelby, Mia*., where the army is preparing 70,185 acres for use by 52,000 men. More than $11,000,000 will be spent on the camp, most of which will go for hospitals, infirmaries, bakeries, launderies, latrines, fire stations and mess halls. The men will be housed in tents with wood en floors because the weather is comparatively mild. . Echoes of the past Hallowe'en sounded in the court of Justice of the Peace Gerard Baker of Spring Valley last night when Chief Abe Stern of the Ramapo police arraigned James Duffy, 18, of South Monsey as the third of a group of eight youth* who were engaged in pranks which caua.ed tjkmags to the property of Monsey residents on hobgoblin day. Duffy admitted, participating In in felling a tree and piling It up on the highway. He paid a fine of 310 Imposed by Judge Baker. Five other New Jersey boys who were connected with the malicious mischief, are expected to ne taken Into custody soon, Chief Stern said. case whose trial ended last week. No indications have been made said Burke later, whether Man- Ion's and Garirson ’ s counsel will appeal their client's cases. No trial date has yet been act for the re trial of Knapp and Quinn, It was said. COPS PROBE ROBBERY OF SOUTH NYACK HOME Police authorities are investi gating intrusion Into the home of Preston M.
