Schade had been arrested by Patrol man Stuart, at Twenty-third and Wash ington streets, January 31, on a charge of driving 'an automobile wnne intoxi' cated. Because of the fact that his im prisonment would throw four other me chanlcs out of employment, the jail sen tence, which has usually been imposed by Judge Rossman on persons convicted of driving cars while drunk, was omit ted arid . the heavy fine substituted. Bray had been arrested January 19. and his case had been hanging fire ever since.
