opportunity is given to choose which
one he will serve, and on that choice
depends his condition In eternity. The
Importance of making the right choice
should, therefore. be apparent to all
He then made an earnest plea to his

GOES TO CHAINGANG
FOR HIDING DISEASE.
nr. Runner wished That Prisoner
Could he Given Ten Years.

For concealing a case of contagious
disease Frank Hutchinson was yester-
day sentenced by Judge Norwood in
the City Court to pay a fine of $50
or serve twelve months on the chain
gang. One of the women whom Hutch
inson infected is now reported to be
in the pest house in a dying condition.
DR.. Drummer appeared against the &C
cused. He stated that he did not pros
ecute cases unless they were aggravat-
cd, but in this case he wished that
the prisoner could be given ten years.
He stated that one woman, Nancy
Green, with whom Hutchinson had
been living, was now in a dying condi-
ton as a result of the disease she con-
tracted from him. Three other per-
sons were also alleged to have con-
tracted the disease from the prisoner.
Hutchinson stated that his case was
very mild one, and that he contract
ed it in Beaufort. He claimed that he
made no attempt to conceal the fact
that the woman had the disease, but
that he did not report 1t because he
thought that she was suffering from
