Judge Mills today In the Police Court
made an announcement from the bench to
members of the metropolitan police force,
which was, in effect. an order to hereafter
bring into court the men who figure in
the cases Of women arrested for enticlng
for purposes of prostitution and on charges
of similar character. It has been the
rule in the past to permit the men to de-
part unmolested, while the women were
compelled to bear the brunt Of the prose-
cution.
why didn't you bring in the man who
was with this woman?" asked Judge Mills
of a policeman who was the complaining
witness in such a case today.
Il knew of no law on which to detain
him.. replied the policeman.
Hereafter you may charge the men with
