Mayor Swope of that city ordered a warrant for his arrest which was given to an officer here to serve. Mails was taken to police headquarters here where an officer from Seymour arrived to take him to that city. As Mails was employed here and the loss of the time necessary to go to Seymour for trial would work a hardship on him, the Seymour policeman called Mayor Swope over the telephone and, after the circumstances were explained, Mails was permitted to plead guilty over the telephone. His fine was assessed, he paid it to the Seymour policeman, and was released.
