The heariest sentence went to John D. Veno, SS-year-old white man,/ who ad mitted drlrlng an automobile whUe under the Influence of an in toxicant It was hiif fourth offense and at the time of his crime he was under a probationary sentence from a prerious court 'ses sion. Judge Sease, commenting that he was a potential killer, handed down a sentence of four years. It took Venn’s case only slightly more than two hours to be referred to a magistrate from poliee court and then bound orer by the magistrate to the court of general sessions.” « Judge Sease gire this man who was guilty of drunken driring a stlffer aentencb than some Judges bare glren drunken diirers who had kUled somebody. Drunken and reckless driring will not be broken up in South Carolina so long as so many Judges continue to hand out suspended sentences, on the payment of a small fine.
