The respondent has young babe but few
months old and has been in jail with it two

of future good behavior.
Nellie Williams and Cora Johnson of
Hallowell were brought up on two indict-
ments for shoplfting in the store of Mrs.
Leighton and Mrs. Libby in this city. E.
W. Whitehouse appeared as their counsel.
The reading of the indictments were received
and they pleaded guilty.
Mr.. Whitehouse appealed for clemency
to the respondents. The parties, he said,
were poor, but had respectable family con-
nections. He would not attempt to pal late
their offense, yet il was not a serious one,
the goods taken being of trihing value. He
thought there as a manifest disposition on
the part of those who had lost goods to
settle with others guilty of SINH
lar ofense and not push and make
an example of these people, who are
not so well situated in life. He
also thought tne cause of justice would be
Wind Gated if the cases were continued for
sentence and the parties allowed 10 60 on
probation.
The parties were then called to the stand
and stated the amount of goods they took,
which appeared to be of small value. They
said this vas their first offence, and Mrs.
Williams stated that the third party with
them was equally guilty with them.
Mr.. Carleton said he knew nothing about
other parties being implicated in shoplift
ing as minated by counsel, but he te-
lieved the day of sacrifices had gone by.
He thought the respondents had suffered in
tn If minds for the offense they had COM
mitted all that it was possible to suffer, and
that the suggestion of the counsel to con-
tinue the cases q good one, and he would
not object to it.
The cases were accordingly continued
for sentence and the women allowed to 60
home on the payment of costs in one case,
which amounted to 3l2.
