Adams county judge hands out varied jail terms and fines
Judge W C Sheely sentenced three men to penitentiary terms and sent six drunken drivers to county jail as 18 cases were disposed. Edward C H Schiebel received two to four years plus sentences for involuntary manslaughter and drunken driving, with gun possession fines and run duties set to run concurrently. Other cases included serious offenses involving an 11 year old Gettysburg girl, burglary terms, theft and probation dispositions. The crowded courtroom paused as the judge issued multiple rulings and a Landwehr Heating matter was dismissed with costs assigned.
