REVERSED TWICE Two Superior Court judges have held that Judge Strickland is wrong in refusing jury trials and have reversed his action. Judge Strickland, however, con tinues to ignore this higher auth ority. A number of attorneys have ex pressed belief that the law is clear and that the Supreme Court will not hear the case. Which means that. In the meantime, cases will pile un on the Dunn docket. PARKER CASTIGATED Judge Strickland verbally casti gated Melvin Parker for his actions in keeping a 14-year-old girl out until two in the morning, and con tinuing to visit her home after her mother had told him to keep away. He was charged with trespass on the premises of Mrs. Naomi Reg ister who told the court that she had ordered him to stay away af ter he kept her daughter out un til that early morning hour. "I think you were doing your duty,” he-commented tpMrs. Reg ister, ‘ It would probably be a good thing if more mothers were con cerned about the hour their daugh ters returned home after a date. He sentenced the Parker youth to 30 days, suspended 12 months on payment of $25 and costs. During that time he is not to associate with Mrs. Register's daughter ex cept with the consent and approval of her mother.

NOT FOR TOOTHACHE Harper produced a note from the dentist stating that he had extraced two teeth, and the defen dant produced a bottle of tooth ache medicine. However, one of the arresting officers, E. J. Whaley, told the court, "It wasn't thg,t stuff I smelled, it was liquor.” He was sentenced to 90 days, suspended 12 months on payment of SIOO and costs, with the recommen dation that his licence be revoked. Appeal bond was set at S2OO. Edwin Evander Horton was plead ed guilty to charges of driving with improper equipment on September 11. 1940. The war rant had been taken out by High way Patrolman Joe Whitaker, but the defendant had not appeared and it took two years to get him on a capias. "It would have been much cheap er if you had appeared then.” Judge Strickland told him as he imposed a $25 and costs fine, with prayer for judgment continued. Octavius Dawson was found guilty of assault after Lilly Jane Cook told the -court that h e broke in the door and came at her w'th a knife. She restrained him with a "smoothing iron" she said.
