cial set could inform the court if they
were called to testify, that she never
drank to excess. Indeed, her modera-
tion in the use Of intoXicants was
subject of gossip among her associates,
every one of whom absorbed much
more alcohol than she did and never
were arrested as she was
But why" the Judge inquired,
should you have been singled out for
incarceration"

Then she went on to relate how the
alleged vendetta was provoked. She
had abandoned her husband when a
blue-coated peace guardian became
enamored of her physical and intellec-

Mrs. Ida q. Mutt, petite and pretty,
pleaded not guilty to the charge that
she embezled $s4 so, the cash worth OF
electrical appliances which C. G..
missioned her to sell for him. On cross
