The People v. Stella

Sam Stella, Nick Matteio and Dan Pontarelli were indicted at the October term, 1929, of the criminal court of Cook county for the robbery, while armed with a gun, on September 13, 1929, of Martin VanHorn of a truck loaded with eggs and poultry. The three defendants were tried by a jury and found guilty. Motions for a new trial and in arrest of judgment were overruled and judgment rendered on the verdict. Matteio and Pontarelli were sentenced to the reformatory at Pontiac and Stella to the penitentiary at Joliet. Stella alone has sued out this writ of error to review the record.
