J UDGE’S COMMENT
Answers Plea for
Lighter Sentence
With Remark That
T h e y Might Have
Gotten 20 Years
James German , and Alexander
Toner. both of the Cranbnry Dis-
trict. were each sentencedito from
2 to 3 years in States Prison this
morning by Judge C. L. Avery'of
the Superior Court. after they had
pleaded guilty to a charge of break-
ing and entering the Herman Ass:-
Ions residencd in Norwalk.
Attorney Leo Dais. counsel tor
‘Gorman. interceded with the Judge
n'i following the sentence. stating that
he thought the punishment. exceed-
ingly hetny for the‘ crime commit-
ted. and asked that it be reduced.
Judge Avery answered‘that he be-
lieved the sentenoowas sufficiently
light in view of the-fact that the
young men might. have been charg-
ed with burglary. instead of break-
ing and entering. and thus become
liable to is 20 year Jail sentence.
The oifence occurred on the even-
ing- of December 20. when Toner
and German entered the 'Anl'on's
place. while the owner was in‘New
York. and took some silverware.
which was later found at their
homes by state Policemen Scully.
