Mrs. Nellie Staples Convicted at Foley
Of Having Killed Her Day Old
Babe at st. Cloud Ask New Trial
NO REAL CRIME, SAYS LAWYER
Sentenced to State Prison at Still
water Judge Expresses Sympathy
for Girl-15 Year Term

Mrs. Nellie Staples, the young wo-
men who was until several years ago
"a resident Of this city, has been
found guilty of manslaughter in the
second degree, and according to SEN
tence imposed by Judge Roeser OF
the district court at Foley, she will
be committed to hard labor at Still
water.
She was accused of having killed
her day old babe and with later
throwing the tiny body into near
by ravine, where it was discovered in
a pail.
After the return of the verdict At
torney Mayburg for the defendant
said: ..--a
...,..s, No Real Offense ~.t ~
There was no real offense COM
nlitted by the girl. The only thing
she did was to leave the body of the
babe after it was dead and cold, in
a pail on the hillside. The act was
done as a result Of the ignorance Of
the woman which was shown clear
~ by DR.. Greene in his testimony re-
garding the Binet test. The de-
PENDANT has a mind no more devel-
oped than that of nine-year old girl
and her actions would naturally be
foolish and against the ideas of mod
ern civilization. The act was one
not approved by society, but it was
no crime and taking all in all be-
lieve that the verdict of manslaughr
ter from the jury was entirely unjus-
tifiable. Even the COURT Mr.. May
bury went on, seemed at doubt as
shown by the lengthy charge given
to the jury
y Denies New Trial
: Mr.. Maybury made a strong argu-
ment for new trial but this was de-
MED and the court passed sentence
on the girl She will go to the
state penitentiary at Stillawter, to
serve time not to exceed Is years.
County Attorney Sem in answer
said that the verdict was fair and
that he saw no reason why a new
trial should be granted under the
circumstances.
Sympathy for Women
Before imposing the, sentence on
Mrs Staples Judge Roeser said that
in great many criminal cases the
evidence was circumstantial and
that juries must he guided by the
actions of the parties at the time
the alleged crime was committed. He
expressed sympathy for Mrs. Staples,
but stated that she was given fair
trial. He said the fact that she
had locked herself in a room and re-
fused assistance, with other circum-
stances, tended to Influence the jur-
ors in their verdict Mrs: Staples
wept copiously during the proceed
ing.
