Judge Roan Imposed a fine of $1,000 on Mr. Anderson and In sentencing him stated that he appreciated his po sition and realised that he could not treat him as ho would a convicted man In an ordinary misdemeanor case. Mr. Anderson had nothing to say for himself when called on by the judge, but Colonel Anderson, Ms attorney, spoke for hhn. saying that be was a man of good standing in tbo city and had not Intended to violate the. law when he operated his brok erage office. Further, Judge Roan said that from this day hence any person con victed of violating the Boykin law would receive greater punishment than he had given Mr. Anderson, which means that the court wlU not give the guilty parties the alternative of paying a fine, hut will sentence them to a term of Imprisonment.
