Woman to Stand Trial After Dodging Court
Patchogue reports that Marion B Shaw, Southampton society matron, paid a $25 fine after pleading guilty to speeding. Islip police seek a summons for a similar charge as she faces Judge Neville at Center Moriches next. Shaw’s attorney, ex Judge John KR Vink, had earlier pleaded not guilty and sought a jury trial but she settled for guilty. A second disorderly conduct charge was dropped after she and Patrolman Fred Preston claimed to have made up. Shaw had resisted surrender, with Preston following to her New York home, and now plans to stand trial at Center Moriches after months of delays. Her legal record stands at zero wins, two losses, two cases to go, eight failures to appear, and one appearance, a .000 percentage.
