So held a jury in Judge Ferd Bader's Common Pleas Court in finding in favor of Chief Stevens on a suit filed by Daniel W. Muhlberger, 28, 860 Glenwood Ave, excavating contractor. Muhlberger was a resident of Newtown October 20, 1953, when Chief Stevens ordered him to drive to the village building where he was cited to mayor's court on a charge of contributing to juvenile delinquency. No such charge was formally filed against Muhlberger and a disorderly conduct charge against him on the same citation was dismissed without comint to trial. It was not explained why there was no trial. Chief Stevens, through Bernard J. Gilday Jr., attorney, showed that he ordered Muhlberger to the village building at 9:35p.m., or five minutes after the curfew on juveniles was passed when he observed several boys and two youths over 18 in Muhlberger's automobile File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ky/boyd/newspapers/policech505gnw.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/kyfiles/
