United States District Court Judge

counsel for Gray B. Lester, of rs
Bruen avenue, Irvington, who is
under arrest on a charge of violating
the Mann white slave act. The

by Captain Michael Mulcahy, of the
Second police precinct, Elizabeth, who
secured the information from the
husband of Mrs. Lottie Leonard, of
Elizabeth, the latter being the alleged
victim of the case.
According to the police, Lester met
Mrs. Leonard in the Elizabeth depart
ment store where he is employed.
Several other meetings followed, and
on September IL and %, says the
police, he paid the woman's passage
over to New York, where they regis
tered in hotel as man and wife.
The Elizabeth police had consider
able trouble in getting the federal
authorities interested in the case.
United States Commissioner Richard
Stockton, of this city, at first refused
to entertain complaint, contending
that the spirit of the Mann act was
not violated by Lester. After Prose-
cutor Alfred A. Stein, of Union
county had conferred with other fed
eral authorities Commissioner Stock
ton agreed to accept the complaint
Lester was arrested Saturday after
noon and brought before Commits
