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 Lakewood left her fur coat in a car while dining in a restaurant on Second Street. The coat was gone when they came out, and Carr was picked up with it over his arm. He said he paid 25 cents for it, but did not know the man he bought it of.
Henry BEIBEL, jr. and Ida Pittendorfer were found guilty of going into a house of William Dendel, in Lakewood, and carrying off articles there from. Norman McCHESNEY, who was with them, pleaded guilty and told the story. Officer Stratton NORCROSS of Lakewood police, and Constable Richard RILEY, corroborated parts of McChesney's story. McChesney, who turned state's witness and pleaded guilty, was returned to Rahway, to serve out a former sentence, and a sentence of three years in state prison was suspended. Mrs. Pittendorf and Biebel were given a two years sentence, which was suspended and they were ordered to report to the probation officer every two years.
Mary Affronti, Lakewood, an old offender, at Affronti hotel, Main Street, was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail for sale and possession, but the prison sentence was suspended. 
Joe Jimmario, who pleaded guilty to sale and possession of liquor at East Lakewood, was fined $100 on possession and sentenced to six months in the county jail on sale. Sentence was suspended.
