TWO YEARS IN PEN
AND $10,000.00 FINE
Memphian, Convicted of Fed
eral Liquor Offense, Draws
Severe Penalty
Memphis, Term., March 2,
—E. A. Laughter, charged
with having conspired against
the federal liquor laws today,
was sentenced to two years in
the Atlanta federal prison and
fined $10,000. by Judge Mc
Call of the federal court. Theo
dore Robinson, charged with
the same offense, was given a
prison sentence of one year
and fined $5,000. Judge Mc
Call overruled motions for new
trials and before passing sen
tence delivered a warning to
all bootleggers.
“I feel that something
should be said touching the
character of the crime of
which the defendants stand
convicted and the circumstanc
es under which it was commit
ted,” he said. “It is a mat
ter of common knowledge that
Memphis and vicinity have
been in a state of turmoil for
the past eight or ten years, re
sulting from efforts to have
passed and enforced legisla
tion regulating and prohibit
ing the sale of intoxicating
liquors.”
Judge McCall then recount
ed years of open lawlessness
and disregard of the liquor
laws and declared that this ef
frontery had caused many
homicides and crimes of less
magnitude.
“Under these circumstan
ces,” he concluded, “I feel that
a sentence should be imposed
in this case of such character
as will firmly impress the de
fendants that the penalty for
violating this law is punish
ment and in the hope, if pos
sible, that it may serve as a
warning to those who are con
templating entering upon this
unlawful business/’
Laughter has been identifi
ed with river bootlegging, be
ing engaged in liquor traffic,
by boat, it is alleged, when ar
rested' by federal authorities.
