Justice Mills Grind Exceeding
Small.

The sentencing of Warren Green Of
Fulton township Lancaster Country. to
serve not more than thirty nor less than
seven years and to pay fine of $1,000 and
costs of the suit was the most spectacular
event tof the recent sitting of Quarter
Sessions Court.
Green was charged by Cora Ross,
aged sixteen years and Viola Ross.
twelve years. both of West Nottingham
township. The crime charged was a
serious one which is always severely
handled in West Chester Court Green
seemed to be in bad repute, because of an
alleged attempt upon Mrs. Emory
Phillips. and it is thought that this helped
bring about the verdict with its conse-
qiently heavy penalty.
The counter suit which was brought
against the Ross girls for conspiracy and
perjury was continued.
The lower end was also interested In
the case against H. J. Mccrery, High
Jack" Who was arrested upon a very
serious charge, preferred to Mary E.
Brown. of West Nottingham. Mr.. Me-
Crery was easily able to refute the charges
against him and the Grand Jury took but
short time to ignore the bill and put
the costs on the prosecutrix. Jacob
Brown gave security for the payment Of
the costs.
