Mrs. Hill Must Be More
Careful Hereafter.
Many Pleaded to Indictments
In Court Today.
A Boy and a Dog--Some Cases
Heard in Appellate Division.

Judge Wilbur's court room was crowd
ed this morning, and the court officers
had work keeping the corridors clear.
There were a large number OF persons
present to plead to indictments found
against them by the recent grand jury,
but several parties, who were TO plead to-
day, owing 10 some misunderstanding
did not appear.
The famous controversy in the citv of
Pawtucket over the selling OF race pools
that last summer created so much excite
ment, will probably not be again heard
of, as Philip Brady, indicted for selling
race pools and George A. Lied for keep
ing q pool room, where such pools were
illegally sold, failed TO appear to the in
dictments against them, and their recog-
nizances were defaultsd.
Abbey A. Hill, against whom were
three indictments for larceny from Shep-
ard & Company, Calendar, McAuslan q
Troop Co., pleaded guilty. She is one OF
the women who made big sensation last
summer by their for time successful
efforts as shop lifters. Mrs. Hill con-
fessed her wrong doing and gave the de-
tectives the information that led to he re-
covery of the greater part of the proper
ty. Lycurgus Sayles said that Mrs. Hill
had previ ,usIy borne an excellent charsc-
ter and several witnesses corroborated
the statements made by counsel.
Judgo Wilbur said as the woman's char
acter seemed from the testimony good,
IL would do no good to her or to the
State TO send her to prison. as she would
have to associate with people different
from those with whom she formerly asso-
ciated, and he would suggest to the At
torney-General the pigeon -holing OF the
indictments against her. His Honor sug
gested that the indictments be kept, 50
that II she was in the future guilty of
any similar offence, they might be con-
sidered as in force.
Attorney General Dubois then with
drew his motion for sentence and Ju dge
Wilbur administered a few words of eau
tion to MIRO. Hill and accepted surety in
the sum OF $1,000.
