(Source: The Patriot. (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955:) October 17,
1914 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.
