Kelly cracked up November 16 near Twenty-seventh South and Sixth West streets in a partnership owned craft. He miraculously escaped es-caped death or serious injury. Appearing before City Judge B. PTLevertch on ldmplalnr charging charg-ing operation of an unlicensed craft without a pilot's or student's license, li-cense, Kelly pleaded guihy. After examining the defendant at great length concerning his ability to pay a fine, the judge imposed a jail term and suspended its execution execu-tion on good behavior. Attorney Karl King, representing Kelly, told the judge that the defendant de-fendant had been grounded for one year by the department of commerce com-merce and for two years by the sta'. . aeronautics commission. "This man spent his entire savings sav-ings to buy a motor for the craft which Harry J. Thalman. 1001 Fremont Fre-mont avenue, owned. In addition he lost his job at the Denver A Rio Grande Western railroad and is now endeavoring to make restitution restitu-tion to Thalman for his interest in the craft. I suggest a 60-day suspended sus-pended jail term." said Mr. King. The judge's questioning of Kelly also disclosed the defendant had "had a drink of beer" before the crash happened. |
