Latrobe Brewery Man Escapes Jail Sentence
Must Pay Fine of $l,000 and Costs Aggregating Hundreds of Dollars. 
Joseph Coshey, agent for the Independent Brewing Company at Latrobe, was paroled in
court on Monday by Judge S. J. Telford. Coshey, nearly nine months ago was found
guilty of shipping beer into restricted territory. He was sentenced at that time to
pay fine of $l,000 and to serve 3 months in the Western penitentiary. Coshey's
companion, tried at the same time, died a short time afterwards.
The case was taken to the Superior court and to the Supreme court and Judge
Telford's decision was sustained. Costs aggregating hundreds of dollars are involved
because of the appeals. Coshey was in Indiana Wednesday, but has done nothing toward
complying with the order of the court. Unless this is done shortly Sheriff Jeffries
says the man will receive a sentence and the parole will be revoked.
