GIVE n
5 YEARS IN
PRISON
Wife Yet To Be Tried on Charge
Of Luring Seventeen-Year-
Old Mrs. Bond.

Samuel A. Stoe, former Peters
street saloon keeper, was found guilty
by jury in the Federal District
Court Wednesday aMernoon on three
counts of an indictment charging vio-
, 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 HE
| wife was postponed until Monday.
Jury Out Twenty Minutes.
| The jury was out 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
young 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-s
torney Foster, counsel for Stoe, had
defended his client with h 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 IL
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 II he were
District Attorney Alexander in his
closing argument, denounced Stoe as
a 'fiend" and 'ghoul." He said:
Calls Stoes Hounds"
This girls story bears the hall
mark OF truth. Stoe has sought 10
Giscredit her. but, whatever she has
done, her guilt lies upon the snoul-
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 lie
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 interpretations 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.
