Is ali day. The prisoner admitted the
offense, but claimed immunity on the
score of the age of the child. His evil
dence on the stand was of a nature
that could not be believed by the
court. The only point difficult to estab-
lish was the child's age, but by a
series of events fixed by the parents it
is believed that she is a few months
under 13 years old
The judge pronounced him guilty af-
ter hearing arguments by Marshal
Brown for the prosecution and J. L.
Kaulokou for the defense. When asked
by Judge De La Vergne, Parsons said
he was born in 1929, and admitted a
previous conviction for similar Of
tense committed here in 1885. He was
sentenced to serve nine months at
hard labor.
Counsel for Parsons gave notice of
appeal and his bond was continued.

the citizenship of any country.
A surprisingly large number of colored
people in this vicinity are property hold

and even farms. Among these we find
the best colorsd citizens, the most hon

who knows his place and keeps it.
