I think way back in 1952, Waldo had a little spot of bother with the law, but many years ago! The Sunday Herald for Bridgeport, CT reported on Sunday 2nd March, the he had been released from jail:
Stamford Junk Man Released from Jail.
Waldo E. Jamul, Stamford junk man, sentenced to six months in jail last January 30, on a charge of receiving stolen goods, had the balance of his sentence suspended by judge J.A. Cornell Friday. Four months of the sentence were suspended at the time it was imposed. Jamul had served 33 days in jail.
At the hearing on Jamul's motion for suspension, it was pointed out that the elleged thieves from whom Jamul had received a quantity of sheets of plastic from the Plastolite Corp. of Stamford, had been sentenced to only 25 days in jail by the Stamford City Court. Jamul chose a bind-over to Superior Court and got a stiffer sentence.
