An Object Lesson!

While plowing in field some distance
from his home, Will atson, young
white farmer, who lives near Kinston,
perceived that his home was on fire, and
by the time he could arrive the entire

son lost everything he had, including
MONEY which was in the HOUSE,
leaving himself and wife and several
suoal! children, one of whom was only
few months old, homeless and penniless.
TTaken from Raleigh News and Observ

This happened at kinston, N. G., and

Central Kansas Girl
Released from the Pen

free woman Frlday-free as long as
she does not again offend against
the law.
She was ordered released by Fed
eral Judge Jacob Trieber OF Arkan-
sas who two days previous, had SEN
fenced her to serve term of a year
and day at Canon City, when she
confessed to her crimes against the
government.
The heart of the jurlst was touch-
ed by a story in the Post revealing
the fact that within two months af-
ter the great iron gates of the peni-
tentiary had swung after her Olive
St8wart would become a mother. To
a reporter, after the sentence, Olive
stawart admitted that her baby
would be born within prison walls.
TO the merciful Judge who sentenced
her she said nothing.
| Judge Trieber summoned the gov
ernment officials who hi d prosecut'
ed the woman and hac a hearinG
in open court Friday afternoon. We
learned that Secret Service Opera
tive Goddard, United States Attorney
Kelly and other federal officials ~
terested IN the woman's case had
/ heard of her condition and had Of
fered her the services of physician
but she had refused. They believed
the stories were not true.
when she was called into court
FRIDAY, Olive Stewart told judge
Trfeber that her baby would be horl
within two months. She was to have
been taken TO the penitentiary Fri
day afternoon. A woman physician
employed by the government at th'
suggestion of Judge Trieber, verifie'
Mrs. Stewards admissions.
Judge Trieber said that as long a
he was Judge, baby wonld not b
4 born behind the walls OF a. penlten
rtiary. He suspended the sentenc
and ordered Mrs. Stewart turned owe
to a Denyerae charitable organization
, until such time as her husband, VIII
is now trayelIng some place in Kan
sas in gypsy wagon, can send he
money SO she can join him.
She told the court he would sen
, her money as soon as he learne
she had been freed.
The suspension of sentence Is i
the nature of a parole, for If Oliv
, Stewart passes any more raised notes
forges any more checks or commit
any similar crime against the gov
ernment, she will again be take
into custody and made to serve ou
the sentence Of year and day q
Canon City. The sentence stand
for all time, but its execution is stop
; ped pending good behavior.

Denver, April 20.-Mrs. olive
Stewart, 2S years of age. the daugh-
ter-according to her own state
ments-of a central Kansas judge
and sister OF two county officials In
that state; a woman who. since she
was 16 years old, has taught school
and holds life certificate OF the
first class from a well known nor
NAL school; was sentenced In the
federal court wednesday to a year
and a day in the state penitentiary
for raising the denomination of a
ten dollar bill to fifty dollars.
The sentence was light because OF
the fact that the young woman Is
soon to become a mother. 1t would
have been lighter had she told what
is suspected as the truth In the
case-that another than she had
really performed the greenback
trickery and used her as an instru-
ment to obtain the profit from the
transaction.
But II that one be a mana man
very dear to this clear-eyed woman
with softly curved lips-there would
be shown no clemency. A peniten.
tiary sentence of several years would
be the inevitable consequence OF the
revelation. She knows that better
than any one could tell her.
The fact that. after Mrs. StewarSi
arrest in Colorado Springs last fai
on the counterfeiting charge, sht
left her $3.50 bond forfeit and faile;
to appear when her case was firc
called for trial in January, did no
make for clemency on the part o
the court, according to the belief o
the young woman herself. She wa
discovered near her old home II
Kansas and brought back here t
| Jail in February. She has not ha'
her liberty since.
~ s,%s & But when was taken dow
there to court" she said, after re
ceiNing sentence at the hands 70
Federal Judge Jacob Trieber of Ar
kansas, sitting in the place of Judg
Lewis, II was not given a chanc
to tell that did not try to rul
away. / did not know that coul
not go anywhere / chose after bein
let out on bond. And went hom
to my people. There was nothin
strange about that, was there?
'Will my husband come to see m
in prison-will he come when tn
baby is born? Why, yes, he wi
come-if-if / will let him!"
