yesterday morning and answered to
the charge of leading an immoral life.
The couple were arrested down on
West Second street near the Daven-
port Mailing company's plant by
Night Captain Connolly and officer
Ed Brahmer. The man confessed, but
the woman emphatically denied. They
were separated during the eXaInina-

agreed the court charged the woman
with wilful perjury. She reiterated
her statement of innocence, but the
judge did not entertain it, and he sent
her to the house of detention in lieu
