Yale Student and the Girl He Loves
Sentenced for Their Act.

Stephen Lawrence. OF the law school. is
the first Yale undergraduate in fifty years
TO be sentenced to jail Mr. Lawrence was
this morning sentenced to fifteen days I'M
prisonment for the crime OF kissing a
pretty girl. The unrelensing Judge sem
fenced the girl 10 fifteen days imprison-
ment Mr. Lawrence has appealed to the
superior court and furnished bonds for
their appearance.
Lawrence last evening asked Miss May
Carroll. a handsome and vivacious shop
girl, 10 take supper with him. She con-
sented. They went to a restaurant much
frequented by fashionable people and stu
dents. Lawrence ordered supper, and
while it was being prepared and while
they were enjoying the supper he made
love to Miss Carroll with all the ardor Of
his twenty-five years. She listened to him
with all the discretion OF maiden OF
eighteen.
When Mr.. Lawrence paid his bill the
cashier noticed his face was flushed and
that a pretty pink suffused Miss CARROTS
cheeks-a blush raised maybe by Mr. Law
rence's compliments. AS he and she walk
ed toward the door Mr. Lawrence, unable
longer TO control himself leaned over and
kissed Miss May. Nor can II be truly said
that she shrank from him.
People at the tables smiled.
But Policeman Wincheli took no such hu-
name view Of Lawrence's peccadilio.
Standing outside the door Winchell saw the
young man kiss Miss May In this state
II offends the law 10 kiss In public. Win
chell promptly arrested Lawrence and Miss
May and took them To the station house.
Lawrence summoned his friends. who gave
bail for both: so they were spared the ig-
nominy of passing the night In cells.
This morning the law student and the
shop girl appeared before Judge Edwin c.
Dow in the city court. Frowning. Judge
Dow heard WinchelFs testimony. The gen.
eral statute gives to the Judge the discre-
ton OF administering a fine Of from so to
800 or of imprisonment up TO thirty days
for the crime of kissing in public. even II
the girl kissed does no. object. Judge Dow
took the harsher course.

Then Mr.. Lawrence appealed the case
and gave bonds He and Miss Carroll have
