H. Muselman,) county probation officer by Judge Myles F. Parrish, pleaded guilty to violation of his probation in Adams circuit court this morning. Judge Parrish immediately revoked the probation and ordered Kasee committed to the penal farm to serve the original six-month sentence.

Among those who saw Kasee was' Judge Parrish, who was making purchase in a store as Kasee first j staggered by the door and later entered the establishment. In revoking the probation and ordering the man taken to the penal farm, Judge Parrish stated ‘‘too many people think of probation as acquittal, when actually it is merely giving the defendant another chance.” Kasee admitted that he had violated his probation, when arraigned this morning. He was taken to the county jail where he will remain until the sheriff takes him to Putnamville in the next day or two.
