BELLE MOORE FOUND GUILTY OF SELLING GIRLS
 INTO LIFE OF SHAME

New York, May 20.-Belle Moore, a mulatto, was found guilty last night of selling girls into lives of shame. The maximum penalty is five years and $1,000 fine. Sentence will be pro- nounced on May 26, next Thursday. Her counsel asked weeks delay, that he might review the minutes to prepare a motion for new trial.
 The case was the first brought to trial under the indictments recently handed down by the Rockefeller. grand jury, which has been Investigating the traffic in women.
 Judge Crane charged the jury that the only fact to be determined was whether or not money was given Belle Moore for placing two girls in the custody of George A. Miller, a state agent, for immoral purposes.
 The defense made little attempt to deny the acts charged by the state, but sought rather to qualify their na- ture.
