The arguments for new trial

1T has been hard to determine
what punishment should be meted

ter in passing sentence. I'VE have
had many cases where violations of
the Mann act have been punished
with a fine only, We have had other
cases where defendants have been
sentenced to one or two years in the
penitentiary.
The circumstances in this case
have been aggravating. The life of
the defendant by his own admissions
has not been moral one. The de-
