PEARL PRENDERGAsT FREE.
Released From the Penitentiary Az
ter Serving Her Time.

Pearl Prendergast, who was sentenced
from the Superior Court to ten years in
the penltentiary for enticing young girls
away from their homes for immoral pur-
poses, has served her time and was re-
leased this week. For several years she
was the only white woman in the peni-
tentiary, and had charge of what might
be called the woman's department. She
was considered a model prisoner, so far
as prisoners go. During the Yamacraw
riot year or two before she was sent 10
the penltentiaYy, the woman probably
saved the life of a policeman, who was
chased by q mob.
