New York, June 10.-"Sister Mary Agnesa" and Sister Mary Adela, the two bogus nuns who were arrest ed last week charged with yagrancy. were sentenced to six months each in the workhouse by Magistrate Wahle in the Tombs police court yes terday. The magistrate said:
 'Tt is a notable commentary on the state of religious feeling in this city that several of the people who gave you money were Hebrews. The fact that people have so much confidence in Catholic sisters, irrespective of their own religion. makes t all the more imperative that they should be protected from fraud"
 Father McMahon. director of Cath olic charities. testified that the wo- men were frauds. The iandlady of the house at BIO East Tventy-ninth street. where they had been living recently. said that one night she heard Sister Agnesa" e1caaim "Oh. hell," when she found the gas out in her room.
