know one Gus Arndt. BY 80 O'Clock
the jury returned a verdict wherein II
found Mrs. May guilty of the charge
Of both adultery and conniving at the
rape of her daughter.
This was one of the most revolving
scenes that ever occurred in the To-
cal court room and when the little
child took the stand and unblushing-
ly told of her shame, the sympathy of
the entire crowd was with her. She
related how on DECEMBER :, her mother
and Arndt had held some conversa-
into their room and left alone with
the latter.
HE then pushed me over on the
bed" she explained, land did what he
wanted to-"
Pathetic in the extreme was the
case when Sadie told how she did
want to commit this act but thought
that it was all right as ''her mother
wanted her to-
Il thought that if 1t was wrong,
mother would not ask me to do such
thing" she declared.
When on the stand testifying in her
Cwn behalf. Mrs. May swore that if
her daughter was injured in any way
by Arndt she knew nothing of the
but on the other hand
she admitted having intercourse with
him. Arndt also denied the crime.
When speaking to the sheriff this
morning, Sadie May gave what she
called the true state of affairs by ex-
planning that as her mother could
not attend to all the men Who called
at the house, she, Sadie, had been
forced to help. That the crime COM |
mitted on December I was not the
first one, was proven this morning by
the girl who declared that the vile pro- |
ceedings were common Arndt was not
alone in this however for Sadie told |
how other men. including her own |
father, were among her abusers.
Gus Arndt is having his hearing this
q afternoon on the charge of carnaly |
knowing this girl. Thomas May, the
father, will also come up for hearing
during this term of court on the charge
of incest.
