for q Fallen Woman


for Fallen Woman
CHARLESTON, W. Va, September y.
"A case recently came up in the
Court of Mayor Fry, Of this city, which
has developed into queer sensation, and
shows what sacrifices psopls will some
times make, either from emotional or
chiyalric csuees. Under the local crdi-
nsnces, when fre is imposed upon an
offender, if the cash is not forthcoming,
the delinquent is put on the chain gang to
work out the same at cleaning the streets
at the rate of 81 per day.
Yesterday o frail creature named Lille
Stanley wss convicted of keeping disor.
derry house, and fined $40, which, with
the costs, made her liable for SIS. She was
unable TO pay, and appealed to the Mayor
TO allow her to pay il in installments, Of
fering to pay So down.
The Mayor said that he was not author
ized to accede to her request and remark
ed, half joculsrly, that If she could find
some one to either make up the money or
work seventeen days on the gang he would
accept the 80. Otherwise she would have
to work out her time.
There was no immediate response, bat
finally stalwart young fellow in the
crowd Of louDgers said that he would never
permit womsn, it mattered not how low
and degraded she was, to be worked as a
convict upon the public streets. He had
not tie money to pay her fine, but he had
will and the muscle TO discharge II, con.
sequsptly he would offer himself as
vicarious substitute.
After the natural sstonishment had sub
sided he was formally accepted in place
of the convicted female, and is now serv-
ing ont her time. He declined TO give his
name, aud said that John Smith" would
do as we'll as anything else. He eaid that
he is q farm laborer from some place mp
the river, and that he never saw or heard
of the woman in his lite until he saw her
in the Mayors Court, but that his sense
of manhood and bis respect for woman
kind would not permit him to see one Of
the SIX scraping the public streets in COM
pany with tramps aud banners.
