Folk said the department could find
no provision either administrative or

poses, Is charged in the seventh count
with conspiracy to accomplish the al
legged crime. But Harry A. Parkin,
expert white slave investigator for

day that this charge was formally
made so that the government might
attempt to prove a commercial trans
action.
Chicago judges have already held
that 1t is not necessary to prove the
commercial feature" said Parkln.
They have ruled that If a girl is car
ried from one state oganother for i'm
moral purposes, either for personal
qualification or for commercial gain,
her seducer has violated the Mann
act
Parkin cited the case of Edward S.
Nichol, charged with transporting a
girl from Chicago to Hammond, Ind,
in 1909. Nichol pleaded that he did not
take the girl to an immoral resort or
accomplish her ruin with any view to
financial gain. Federal Judge Lands
over-ruled this contention, found that
Nichols had violated the Mann act,
and sentenced him to ten years i'm
prisonment.
Edwards was indicted here yester-
day after District Attorney Houp OF

the wealthy lumberman holding that
the commercial feature has not been
