Convicted on His Cousin's Complaint

CONVICTED ON HIS COUSIN'S COMPLAINT S. Linokoski, a Russian, was tried before a jury in Police Court this noon on a charge of misdemeanor preferred by Annie Nevlin, his cousin, who resides in North Camden. The jury was made up of the following: Albert Austermuhl, foreman; Harry Foulkes, William Fithian, Louis Munyan, Louis Leigh, Edward Holloway, Walter Smith, Crawford Smith, Charles Adkins, Hollis Lightfoot, Morris Odell, George W. Kruck. Lawyer William P. Walsh represented the defendant and Assistant City Solicitor Wilfred B. Wolcott the prosecution. The complainant, through S. Kaplan acting as interpreter, claimed that she came to this country from Russia fourteen months ago at the solicitation of her cousin, the defendant, whom she knew from childhood. She said he sent her fifty roubles, or $38.50 in American money, to come to America. The defense was that the accused was not responsible for the complainant's condition. The jury, however, found the defendant guilty this afternoon. Recorder Stackhouse required him to furnish a bond for $300 for the payment of $2 a week to the complainant and pay the costs of prosecution.
