formation Is that when Maine some years ago abol-
ished imprisonment for debt there were then only
two States IN which the Imprisonment of debtors
was still constitutional" The States referred
to were Massachusetts and Rhode Island and both

two weeks in debtors cell the clerk proved that
he had no such property.
New-York tribune., 1906-06-10
Even Young Women Not Exempt

A MOTHER and more forcible example of the work.
lngs of the Massachusetts debtors law is that of
a Boston young woman, magazIne-writer. She
owed typewriter twenty-five dollars the bill haV-
ing been rendered monthly Tor half a year. She
was offered 4 position New York periodical.
She accepted and few daVS later when she We
about to buy a ticket for New York She was ar
rested The warrant showed that the Typewriter
believed that the person TO be arrested IS about
10 leave the commonwealth" The latter affirmed
that i true that she about TO leave, but
that She was doing 50 in order to earn money with
which pay the twenty-five dollars This aifir1na-
ton the court ignored but allowed her twelve hours
to obtain bail As the Young woman would not
appeal TO her friends, she locked up night
The next daV her friends volunteered the bail and
furnished surety that she would appear for exam
inatIOn Meanwhile, she permitted to
leave the State, and the only way she could escape
further arrest was by taking poor debtors oath.
By the time the matter ended the New York posi-
ton had been filed. In the course OF the action
the charge made that the authoress was about
abscond, and should therefore be treated as an
absconder in intent.
Il Is herein that the authOress should have
known the law, It Is equally true that the type
writer was entitled to her money or to security for
It's future payment. but it IS a fact that few if any
women ever do know the law and that a refined and
sensitive Young woman be locked up G. COM
mon Jail, not only for one but for man days,
through ordinary commercial transaction, a
serious matter indeed. The destruction of her
means and power to make payment IS not the
least serious side OF the question.

Many Held for Fraud "

NEARLY all the States allow imprisonment for
~ debts contracted fraudulently' So saws Wilbur
Larremore editor of The Law Journal" To
which the attorney-general OF Connecticut adds:
Imprisonment for debt is practically obsolete;
but for debts based upon fraud 1t may be said to
exist to a limited extent
The difficulty seems to be to determine what
constitutes fraud. In the of a Young widow
OF Chicago fraud constructed to mean contract
ing Indebtedness beyond ones ability To paw.
The widow had bought thirteen hundred dollars
worth OF Jewels. Under examination she declared
she had given the jewels to friends as presents.
The jeweler then had her arrested for fraud The
court decided that the widow had contracted in
debcdness beyond ner ability to pay, and that
therefore there had been intent to pay. But the
law provided penalty, and the widow was dis
charged. Meantime, she had spent five weeks in
jail California defines fraud in cases of debt as
"rnalCIous mischief, and on this ambiguous charge
the debtor may be imprisoned Michigan and
Arizona imprison debtors for breach of trust"
