JUDGE. PLEASE DON'T TAKE
MAMA" PLEADS CHILD
lnebriate Mother Is Sent to Six
Months In House Of Correction

cause OF her love for drink, because
no power on earth seemed able to re-
form her and overcome her drunken
ness, Mrs. Annie Martingale was sent
enced TO six months in the house OF
correction, although her two little
girls pleaded pitifully with Magistrate
Hughes for her release.
The woman was brought up for
hearing at the police station at
Fourth-st and Snydcr-ave.. and while
she stood stolidly, with no excuse to
offer, her little girl, Annie, III years
old. clasping her 2year-old sister,
Mary. by the hand, made an eloquent
plea for her pardon.
Judge, please don't take mamma
away" the child sobbed. Baby and
she will Judge, IL you only let her
stay with US"
When the magistrate shook his
head and decided that for the good
OF the family the woman must be
separated from her children. Annie
flung herself into her mothers arms
and cried convulsively.
During the hearing the children's
father stood apparently unaffected.
and when they chung to their mother
at the cell door he looked on with un-
concern. seemingly worn out with
family friction He led the mother
less little ones away, scarcely looking
hack at his wife, whose face was
hathed In tears.
