Pugilist Fined $100 as Night Prowler

PUGILIST FINED $100 AS NIGHT PROWLER Stanley Powelek Given Choice of Paying or Prison for 4 Months Charged with loitering on the streets during the early hours of the morning and unable to satisfactorily explain his actions, Stanley Powelek, alias Powell, 21, of 1256 Whitman avenue, an amateur boxer, was given the alternative in police court today of paying a $100 fine or spending four months in the county jail. Powelek was arrested by Policeman John Wilkie, who was attempting to run down four young men who had beaten and robbed a Parkside man. Wilkie told the court he had been driving through the streets of Whitman Park looking for the youths who assaulted Edward G. Kelly, 25, of 1322 Kenwood avenue, when he saw Powelek and two other boys talking. He said he suspected the men of planning a robbery and followed Powelek for 45 minutes. When he arrested the pugilist, he said, he found a flashlight, a chance board and a bunch of keys in his car, and, returning to the place where he originally saw the boys talking, he found another flashlight, a chisel and a hack-saw blade. He also told the court Powelek had been arrested for robbery before and had been sentenced to four months in the county jail. Powelek denied Wilkie's charges, and said he had been riding around merely "to get the air."
