He Is Being

Convicted of kidnapping his own
child and sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary, II. @. Herold
turned on Judge Clifford in open
court this morning when his plea
for mitigation failed, and de-
nounced him to his face In one OF
the most stirring scenes ever wit
nesses in the court house.
"You are trying to railroad me
to the penitentiary," he shouted
INCLUDING court prosecutors and
the attaches In his charge. "Yo,i
have lied about me and misrepre-
sented me. I haven't had a fair
deal.''
Baillff King tried to put his
hand over Herold's mouth and
stop him, but the prisoner con-
tinued until two deputy sheriffs
overpowered him and took him
from the court room.
In his formal plea which Her
old made calmly at first, the man
told of his imprisonment. He

Should prize fighter marry?
That's the question worrying the
boxing colony in Los Angeles, Cal.
Joe Rivers, Mexican fighter, who
was on the way to coin and fame
until Johnny Kilbane knocked him
out in their recent fight, started it
by refusing to get married because
he thought it would hurt his
career.
Shortly after Joe was knocked
out by Johnny Kilbane, a fighter
who is not only married, but has
an heir besides.
That's the answer" cried Mrs.
Johnny Kilbane and Mrs. Conley,
both wives of fighters.
Mrs. Conley has opinions of her
own as to whether marriage is
good or bad for a prize fighter.
