In a shocking display of reckless disregard for human life, Montgomery Maxon, a repeat offender, found himself in the hot seat at a municipal court hearing. Maxon, who had been sentenced to five years of probation with conditions that included abstaining from intoxicating liquor and driving for pleasure, had managed to convince himself and others that he was a valuable member of society. The self-proclaimed inventor of a road-making machine claimed that his conviction would deprive his companions and himself of considerable sums of money.
