Warden Leonard discovered that. In as
suming the duties of his new position. he
became responsible for the safe keeping and
care of 29S prisoners, of whom twenty-seyen
were females which number would un-

isting rules and regulations, drove back to

The progress of the suit brought by Miss

through this trial can best be described by

with the faces of the parties to the suit and
the lawyers on both sides, never would have
picked him out as the man whose whole
past life was being unearthed, developing
deeds and traits that were never suspected
by the community generally. Never once
has he squirmed or turned a hair as duplic-

up against him. While the woman who
charges him with seduction and breach Of

that showed him up in very dark lights. but
