"I am sorry that boys like you have to undergo this undesirable notoriety," declared Justice Maggi. "There are thousands who have committed far greater liquor offenses than you who don't get panned the way you do."
Deplores Publicity
Maggi declared that it was not the fault of the officers or of the university authorities that the youths got the undesirable publicity. "It is merely due to the fact that you are students," he declared, "that you drew this unwarranted publicity. If I could have had my way this would have been settled here with the county attorney and officers and justice would have been administered without this publicity."
Justice Maggi also declared that if there was any way he could help the students with the universities he would be glad to do so.
He pointed out that if they had been charged with more serious offenses he would have been permitted latitute [sic] in the penalty but that in a liquor case all he could do was to assess the fine.
The two convicted students left the courtroom in custody of Lyle Holland, defense attorney. Holland informed the court that he would return shortly to pay the fines and costs. - Source
