TAMPA, FLA, Jan. 2S-Dr. w. P.

hue and cry against the tango was
wrong. He had been to the Country
Club, watched the dance as exempt :

he felt shame was the fact that he
had feared the dance would shock
him. 1t didn't.
Now comes Dr. r. II. Crossfield,
president of the Pennsylvania Uni
versity, Lexington, KY, who Is hold
ing revival meetings in the Christian
Church here, and inveighs against
the tango, which he saw at a public

GIRL CLAD As
STOE GOES
TOPR|S0N.
Wife Yet To Be Tried on Charge
Of Luring Seventeen-Y Year
Old Mrs. Bond.

Samuel A. Stoe, a former Peters
street saloon keeper, was found guilty
by a jury in the Federal District
Court Wednesday afternoon on three
counts OF an indictment charging VIC
lation of the Mann white slave act in
transporting 17-year-od Mrs, Annie
Bond from Atlanta to Birmingham
for immoral purposes.
Judge Newman sentenced Stoe to
five years in prison, branding the rev.
Citations made in the course of the
trial as horrible. He said that five
years was the least he could give I'M
der the circumstances.
Stoe took an appeal and furnished
a $4,000 bond. The case against his
wife was postponed until Monday.
Jury Out Twenty Minutes.
The jury was cut twenty minutes
While the twelve men were deliberat-
ing Stoe sat with bowed head, his
hands twitching nervously. His wife
sat beside him, sobbing, while the
yourg girl who made the charges
smiled and chatted with relatives who
sat with her Stoe raised his head
when the jury returned, but only
blinked his eyes and rubbed his hands
together nervously when the verdict
was read. Mrs. Stoe went into hys-
terics, sobbing on her husbands
shoulder, while Mrs Bond smiled, and
said:
I'm glad"
The case went to the jury after At
torney Foster, counsel for Stoe, had
defended his client with fervid
burst of oratory in the closing period
of his argument.
Judge Newman, In his charge TO
the jury, declared that the case had
resolved itself into a matter where it
was necessary for the jury to take
their choice between the story of Stoe
and the story of the young girl. He
called the jury's attention to the fact
that the age of the girl added Ave
years to Stoe's sentence If he were
found guilty.
District Attorney Alexander, in his
closing argument, denounced Stoe as
a "fend' and a "ghoul." He said:
Calls Stoes Hounds"
This girls story bears the hall
mark Of truth, Stoe has sought TO
discredit her. but, whatever she has
done. her guilt lies upon the Shout
ders of these fiends and ghouls who
ruined her and boosted of it-these
hounds who are fattening upon the
innocence of the land"
Judge Newman ruled out much
testimony by witnesses for the de-
Tense Tuesday tending to show the
bad character of Mrs. Bond, upon
the ground that his Interpretation
of the Mann act is that the good or
bad character of the prosecuting
witness has no bearing upon the
guilt or innocence of the defendant.
Similar Interpretation of the act
have been made by Federal judges
in California and Kansas. The Kan
sas trial resulted In acquittal, the
California trial in conviction.

FORT DEED
Heirs Attack Testimony of Public
Stenographer in Contest for
100000 Estate.

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 2s.--sensa-

claims to have written the secret will
of Colonel Tomlinson Fort, over
whose 100000 estate Colonel Forts
former stenographer, Miss Lizzie Fl.

ing.
In her deposition before the Chan
ceior, Mrs Davidson admitted hav-
ing made q trip to New York with
a former employer and having lived
In a hotel with him for two weeks,
later threatening to kill herself. These
facts were brought out as a part of

Evidence given by Jack O'Donohue,
OF the undertaking establishment that
cared for Colonel Forts body, was
directly contradictory to that of DR..
J. w, Bachman, pastor of the First

titled that while Colonel Forts body
was ~ the undertaking establishment
certain papers were given to DR..
Bachman, while DR. Bachman testi-
fed that he was not at the undertake

The complainants closed their

Miss Carroll made no effort to
reconcile the claim of a secret will
with Colonel Forts known habits of

everything he did.
Miss Carroll frankly admitted re-

claims is alleged to have been die

Man of Exact Habits.
Miss Carroll did not attempt to re-
sist the efforts of counsel for the
heirs to show the improbability OF
secret or unrecorded action like this
on the part of Colonel Fort In other
matters. she said Colonel Forts
methods were such that it would have
been possible for one to go to his
records and get a complete history OF
any transaction, legal or social. in
which he had engaged during the
twenty years before his death that
she was employed in his office Why
he might have taken this action in
the case of the secret deed she did
not attempt to explain.
Miss Carroll identified an envelope
