Mrs. Christianson's husband, Bernard, and William and Herman Odowski, brothers of the girl in the case, were paroled for 18 months as Judge Sylveter J. Snee passed sentence on the others yesterday. Ben Avon Residents All of those involved in the case live in Ben Avon, except the Odowski brothers, whose home is in Law-renceville. The prosecution charged that Piatt, while chief of police, drove his car into a pole and wrecked it while Miss Adowski was riding with him.

The Christiansons and the Adowski brother, the prosecution contend, were riding in a car behind Piatt's and, at Piatt's suggestion, reported the two cars had collided and that Miss Odowsk had been in their car at the time.

Opposed By Coyne Mr. Schooley's appointment as city treasurer was made over the strenuous opposition of State Senator James J. Coyne, who had broken with him two years before. It was one of the several differences which eventually led to a break between the Senator and Mayor Kline. For two years the city treasury-ship progressed quietly.

Then, in October, 1931, on the heels of the City Supplies scandal, the Franklin Savings and Trust Company failed and it was disclosed that city money, there and elsewhere, was on deposit without the required legal security. Mayor Kline removed his treasurer, already a sick man, from office. Other discrepancies were found in the treasury's accounts and Mr. Schooley and Arthur G. Burgoyhe, his chief investigator, were indicted.

He came to Pittsburgh early in the 1900's as a hockey player but soon abandoned playing to referee and do publicity work. He was secretary of the American Amateur Hockey Association for years was directing head of the Pittsburgh Athletic Club and Yellow Jacket teams which brought Pittsburgh national recognition in amateur circles. Eventually Mr.

Schooley became a newspaper reporter on the Gazette-Times and Chronicle Telegraph, both of which lost their identities in the 1927 merger.
