Eight years for stealing by safe blower Jeremiah Brown
Jeremiah Brown, described as a safe blower, was yesterday sentenced in the Superior Criminal Court by Judge Gaskill to the state prison for eight years. He was convicted last week of breaking and entering the liquor store of Casper Berry at 84 Leverett Street on the night of June 4, stealing $2700. Counsel T W Coakley urged the court that Brown’s prior offense was a technical drunkenness-related lapse and that at his age he deserved reformatory treatment rather than prison.
