Judge Gives A.A. Sentence

Boston, Mass., American: "Hearty endorsement of the work accomplished by Alcoholics Anonymous was given by Judge Stone today in disposing of a drunkenness case in East Cambridge court. The defendant was a 41-year-old Cambridge man who pleaded guilty after his wife told the court he was a good husband and a good provider except when drink got the best of him. 'I am going to give you a one-month sentence and suspend it,' Judge Stone said, 'and recommend that you investigate Alcoholics Anonymous in Boston. I have heard that this organization has accomplished much good. . . . I wish you luck.' "
