The policy of severe penalties for ‘violators of liquor laws, an- nounced last week by Federal Judge Davis, was exemplified again today when he fined Dominico Finochio $1000 and sentenced him to a year in Federal penitentiary, later assessing a $140 fine against Floyd Bush, saloonkeeper at 3231 Olive street,- and a $1000 fine, staved on execution, with a _ six- months jail sentence, on Ernest Mueller. Mueller’s offense was operating an illicit still, as was Finochio’s. Three stills were found on his farm near Eureka. Bush admitted pos- session of 96 bottles of beer, eight gallons of whisky and 15 quarts of “‘gin’’ which were found in his ga- loon. Their attorney, Frank Slater, advanced in extenuation that Bush was trying to quit the saloon busi- ness and Mueller was a former wine maker whose way of earning a living was made a crime by pro- hibition. Fijinochio admitted he was not naturalized and spoke | through an interpreter.
