In Municipal Court today, Judge Scheinman found George Parent, 32, bookkeeper of this address, guilty of petty theft on the accusation of attorney Stewart P. Fisher. Fisher said he'd given Parent $6 to bet on Gillie in a horse race on February 16, but that the bet was not placed. Parent's unconvincing defense was that he believed that because Gillie's stable mate Peradventure had been scratched, Gillie was not open for a bet. After his conviction, Parent asked for probation, and a hearing was set for March 7.
