ter she was down. and woman who saw the act

old offender. was introduced to Recorder Adams
yesterday, in the Second District Recorders Court.
Upon being sentenced to a month in the Work

said, "Can't you make it a little more than a
month?n The Recorder answered, Certainly,
madam, you shall go for six months" She said,
still laughing contemptuously, Can't you make it
q little mors than that!n The Recorder said he
was sorry, but six months was all the law allowed
for incarceration in the Work-house; otherwise,
he would give her just as long term as she
wanted. Mary will probably get over her laugh
