- HAT detective who told IN n,
New York sun a few weeks ag'
how women made 1t easy fol
their husbands. when the aitel
were unlucky enough 20 have To 90 u
jail, knew what he was talking about.
ssi= cne OF the oldest officers Of the
court OF general sessions n couple OF
days ago. "Ile didn't tell the whole
story. however lie didn't say how
the wonderland by that mean pretty
near all ot them stand By their hus-
bands right from the time they &c;
into trouble.
It's often good long stretch from
mans arrest until his trial II It's
an important case. or one involving
techniacl difficulties IL Is apt to drag
a Ions time.
First there is the preliminary ex-
animation IN the police courts then six
months IN the T0mbs or moro maybe,
and finally the trial II prisoner Is
lucky enough 10 get BAH. why Il Is not
10 hard but very often that is not
the case.
Let me tell you one thing. young
man. When a man gets into jan. or
any kind OF trouble for that matter
that's the time he needs friends Very
often It's then that the chap VINO has
been very popular when he was
around spending money aud making
things merry discovers that his fair
weather friends have forgotten him.
If he has a wife. though us 80
chances out OF 100 that she VIII be
With him, no matter how grave the
charge, right from the beginning.
I've seen lots OF II In my days around
here.
That's why I've always got a kind
word for woman, and when they're
IN trouble I'm always ready to do what
little can to make It easier for them.
They often need a little help too for
the men don't stand by them.
My! but the women are constant.
No sooner does woman find that the
law has got her husband than she Is az
his side. Then she begins TO struggle
for him.
First, II is an effort 10 get him bail

man for the bail. She will plead with
poiiticians-anybody who might help |
her.
Failing to get him bail she tries TO |
make 1t easier for her husband while |
he Is IN the Tombs. You know IL |
doesn't take much 10 make IL easier for |
a man who can't see the outside world. |
Visits every day, some delicacy to vary |
the monoloBy Of the prison food, and |
cheering news from the outside all |
count.
Then comes the trial, the hardest
part Of the whole thing except for the
professional, II he has been through |
the mill many times IL must make

court room before a crowd OF strange |
and very often hostile faces TO have at |
least one smiling face. that OF little |
mite OF woman, perhaps, greet him.
She will be there every minute OF |
the trial, anxious and worried all the |
time, but not showing II when her hus-
bands eyes are on her. Then she has
confident air. which speaks faith in |
him and the belief that he will be |
freed.
AZ the close OF TIE trldl each DAY |
she will be there for one last smile,

comes the verdict OF the jury, after |

Il don't have TO jog my memory very |
hard 10 cite instances. Take the case OF
young G. Augustus Seton. who was
caught in that Norfolk q Western rail-
road bond swindle. They say our old
friend Alfred Goslin was the brains be-
