 Catherine Doughan was tried for drunken ness, was found guilty and fined $2o and costs. After the girl had been taken down stairs and placed in cell, Lawyer Whedoh entered the court room and held a whispered conversation with Judge Deming, who then called up Attorney Daley and said: I un- derstand, Mr. Daley, that Italian stands ready to marry this Doughan girl if, ard the fine is reduced to $lO he will pay it, and immediately wed the girl. What do you think of its"
 "f could not as public prosecutor" said Mr Daley, 'fconsent to any such arrange ment I do not think, Your Honor, that the time has arrived when common prostitutes should enter into the holy bonds of wedlock with the approval of a prose cutting officer. I cannot consent to any such arrangement, but if Your Honor so orders it, will marry them, but do not approve of atay such pre- ceeding''
 s.No one asked you or wants you to marry them '' sdid Attorney Whedon 'tEhis girl has been given the full penalty of the law, and, as I understand it, it is her first time here for drunkenness, and as a man stands ready to make her his wife, and is willing to pay her fine if it is reduced, 1t seems to me as If no harm could be done."
 Attorney Daley replied that the penalty, in his opinion, ought not to be reduced, and he could not, as the prosecuting attorney, approve of any different disposition of the case.
