nls wlfe ana chllaren were Starving.

New YORK, Oct. 24-Michael Evers
had stolen some gloves from the Bee
Hive In Newark, and while attempting
to sell them on the street was arrested.
He had committed the theft because hir
wife and six children were starving, and
he had no food to g%ive4them. He had
never stolen in his life before, and only
the hunger of his family could induce
him to commit such an act. Even as
the unfortunate mar was speaking
his wife entered the court room with
tears streaming down her face. Tc her
breast she clasped a baby. Behind her
were ave other children, all emaciated.
Evers could hardly control himself at
the sight of his family, and tears welled
up in his eyes. Judgment was not
passed upon him, and he was ordered
back to- the pen.
