Last June he defended Stan ley Gregor against a charge of burglarizing a Cleveland case, and he lost the case. Gregor now is in Ohio Penitentiary. Gregor gave Attorney Krup man a note for SSOO as his fee. Part of the evidence in the case was a handsome set of bur glar tools seized at Gregor’s home. Since then, Krupman has taken a judgment against Greg or. So he fought in common pleas court to have the burglar tools sold at public auction to satisfy the judgment. Judge James C. Connell said no. He ordered the burglar’s kit held for further evidence. _j NEW LINCOLN GOES ON DISPLAY AT EVANS SALESROOM The new 1946 Lincoln will go on display today at the Evans Motor Sales, 4097-4257 West Jefferson, Ecorse, Stewart Evans, Lincoln dealer announced.
