Largest assortment of wrist watches in tne city at r neaianaer s. act, Lawyer for M. W. Beck Says Sentence Is Outrage. JAIL TERM IS ELIMINATED Judee Kavanang-h Asserts It Is Fa vorite Stunt of Beck's Kind to Serve Time in Jail - In Role of Martyr. "My client feels that this sentence is an outrage, your honor," declared Isaac Swett to Presiding Judge Kava naugh yesterday in behalf of M. W. Beck, an alleged L W. W., who was convicted recently In the Municipal Court where he was fined $50 and sen tenced to 20 days in jail. "He prefers to serve a Jail sentence rather than pay this fine," continued the attorney. "That convinces me of his guilt," re torted Judge Kavanaugh. "It Is a favorite stunt of his kind to go to Jail in the role of a martyr." Beck was convicted of distributing handbills against the continuance of the war. and had appealed to the Cir cuit Court to nullify the sentence Im posed by Municipal Judge Rossman. Evidence was to the effect that Beck had dropped these handbills along the sidewalk and in doorways, and when arrested a mass of such literature was found in his pocket. He asserted he had procured the literature to send to his nephews, who, he admitted, are of draft age. After hearing the evidence. Judge Kavanaugh decided that the penalty of the lower court might have been some what extreme and eliminated the 20 day Jail term, making the $50 fins stand as Imposed. It was at this Junc ture that Beck's attorney declared his client thought Judge Kavanaugh's de cision "an outrage," which brought the fulck retort from the co-art as to his pronounced opinion of Beck's guilt. Beck was allowed to go at liberty on his appeal bond to attend to per sonal business affairs, after which he will return to serve out his S50 fine at the rate of S2 a day, or 25 days in Jail.
