THE JURY RESPONDED TO THE
LAW AND THE EVIDENCE.
A VERY SERIOUS CASE
w. T. Davis and Fred De Ivey in the
Clutches of Justice-The Penalty Is
from Six Months to Three Years in
The Penitentiary.

H. T. Davis and Fred De Ivey were
found guilty yesterday by a jury COM
prising Henry Enders, S. H. Kneipp, ].
D. Beasley, Glen Afford, L. P. Butler,
Davis, who managed a rooming house
on Louisiana street, and De 1vey, a
Snowman connected with Haag's circus,
were indicted for having enticed fe-
male under I6 years of age into houses
of dsrepute.
The statute under which their convic-
ton was secured may be cited: That
whoever shall detain, inveigle, or entice
into a house of i'll fame or assignatior
female child under the age of I6 years
shall be guilty of felony, and, upon
conviction, shall be punished by imprls-
onment. with or without hard labor, for
not less than six months nor more thar
three years, at the discretion OF tht
court >
There are other sections of law bear
ing on the same crime.
The State was represented by Distric
ATTORNEY Foster, who forced the cas-
with vigor. The defendants had fo
counsel Hon. John r. Land and Hon
w. H. Wise, who are noted for theil
skill.
The defendants line of proceeding
was that no crime had been committee
as there was no intent or design to en-
tice with criminal intent.
The district attorney contended logl
callv that the simple fact that the de
PENDANTS had taken the girl in house
of disrepute was sufficient to conv,e
even though no harm followed
!. The contest between these legal light
was watched with keen earnestness b
the spectators, the majority being whit
and reputable citizens 1t was almos
equal to the trial some years ago c
Backarow and Fannis Roos, deceased
convicted of abducting q young unst
phisticated young woman OF leSa
while en- route home over the Nicks
burg, Shreveport and Pacific.
The charge by Judge Webb was clea
and was in keeping with the intent
the law as expounded by the district a
torney.
: The defendants attorneys reserve
the right to file exceptions, which WI
be heard tomorrow.
The defendants, on application to II
Supreme Court, expect a new tfi'
when they may be acquitted.

THE CASE IN BRIEF.

The child connected in this case
aged about 10 years and is the daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs Williams, strangers,
so to speak, in Shreveport. While Sc
curing employment, Mr.. and Mrs. WIZ
liams, his wife and daughter had rooms
in the rooining house conducted by Da-
Wis. Mrs. Williams sold tickets at the
electric theater on Louisiana street
where her daughter, bright and preco-
cious child, sang and danced. Mr.. VII
liams having obtained employment, MIS-
Williams relinquished her post at the
theater. It was while at Davis that the
little girl attracted the attention OF D'
Ivey. who. with Davis, obtained an au
tomobile, and on the representation tina
thew intended to take the girl out riding
land on a visit to some lady friends II
a boarding house, induced the mother t
give her consent to her daughter goinl
Iout with the men. The girl was driver
TO several bagnios in St. Paul bottom
lwhere, she sang and danced to the edl
l6cation of the women and habitues Q
Isuch places. The girl believed she wa
lin ladies' boarding houses, nor was tn
truth revealed to her until the men ha
been arrested and jailed and release
on bond.
In extenuation of this outrageot
conduct of these men, their sympathi
lers plead that no harm resulted to I'll
girl from such visits, and as 1t was
lindiscretion with no criminal intent th'
should be released from custody.
1t is fortunately true that no harm
lsulted to the girl, but the conduct
these men is damnable, and for WIN
there can be offered no reasonable e
itenuation.
In such instances let the critics apf
the case in a personal sense. Assunn
