EX-Judge Stanton. her counsel, made

already been three months in Jail: that
she is yet a young woman and hoped
not to be judged as severely as one of
inaturer Judgment. District Attorney
John r. Jones argued that 1t will be a
blessing to the children to be deprived
of the associations and environment
that would surround them with her and
that they will be abundantly taken care
of by Mrs. Duggan.

evidence showed great depravity on her
part, that she must have been lost to all
sense of virture, to lead astray children
of tender age. The punishment. he
