Judge issues suspended sentences, 1930
New Jersey Courier 23 May 1930: SUSPENDED SENTENCES FAVORED BY JUDGE SIX YEARS IN STATE PRISON CHANGED TO SIX YEARS ON PROBATION Suspended sentences were handed out to nearly everyone that came before Judge GALLAGHER on Wednesday of this week. Among the lucky ones were Francis HULSE, Fred HOOPER, and Fred REID, of the Point Pleasant neighborhood, who had previously been sentenced to six years in state prison. The boys were accused of breaking into a number of places at Mantaloking, and in that vicinity, and robbing them. One was the office of the Mandalay Land Company, one a garage at Mantaloking, and some were houses. They were indicted on three instances and pleaded guilty. They are, under the last sentence, placed under probation for six years to report monthly the previous sentence being held over them. Joseph Carr, convicted of stealing a mink coat in Lakewood, was sentenced to two years, which was suspended provided he left the county inside 48 hours. A woman visitor in Lakewoo
