FOUND GUILTY
Sentence Of Belle Moore Will BE
Pronounced May
&c.
LITTLE DEFENSE MAD
State Proves That Two Girls
Were Bought and Paid
For.

New York. May ia-Belle Moore, a
mulatto. was found guilty tonight OF
selling girls into lives OF shame. Tho
maximum penalty is five years and
$1,000 fine. Sentence will he pro.
nounced on May 2s. next Thursday.
Her counsel asked a weeks DELAY,
that he might review the minutes to
prepare a motion for a new trial.
The case. which took only two days
to present, was the first brought to
trial under the indictments recently
handed down by the Rockefeller
grand Jury. which has been investi-
eating the traffic in women. Four
other indictments returned by tho
same grand jury are pending against
Aleck Anderson. a negro, and Harry
L~evenson, who are alleged to have
been her accomplices. Levenson ha.
turned States evidence.
Judge Crane had charged the Jury
that the only fact to be determined
was whether or not money had been
given Belle Moore for placing two
girls in the custody of George A.
Miller, a State agent. for immoral
purposes. 1t made no difference
whether the women were chaste or
not. or whether or not they had given
their consent to an illegal bargain.
The law guarded all women alike,
even against themselves. II. then.
none had changed hands on the con-
ditions and manner cotended by the
State, Belle Moore was guilty.
The case went to the Jury shortly
after s o'clock. when both sides had
summed up. The defense made little
attempt to deny the acts charged by
the State. but sought rather to quail
ify their nature. Belle Moore was not
called in her own behalf, and but two
witnesses We're called for her, Alice
Milton n Belle Wood. the two girls
she was accused of having sold into
