Pair Who Stole From Shop Fined Four Months Jail

Meriden December 19 Joseph Demaure thirty two of 498 Lewis avenue and Josephine Demauic sixty two of Chaplin Connecticut were sentenced to four months in jail and fined 200 costs by Judge Thomas P Dunne after pleading nolo contendere to theft of silverware valued at 100 from the International Silver Company. Demaure admitted taking the silverware and passing it to the woman. Lawyers urged leniency citing their client’s duties as a father and an elderly woman nearing the end of life. The judge said punishment should be just while protecting citizens interests. The defense claimed factory neglect allowed thefts, while the factory representative argued most employers are honest.
