BETTER A JAIL
Than HOME FOR
7WAHIAWA BABES
And the Crowd at Police Court
Today Had Its Morbid Cur
ioSity Satisfied

"The defendant is charged with
having unlawfully sold intoxicating IL
quors.
A little, bent, misshapen, middle
aged woman stood up before Police
Judge AIonsarrat this morning as Dep
uty City Attorney Chillingworth pro-
nounced these words. 1t was the be-
ginning of the days prosecution Of
offenders and the hot courtroom was
crowded with q motley-looking and
sordid throng, the curious, staring,
british crowd OF the police court.
The woman before the police Judge
carried a tiny babe in her arms. 1t
might have been six or seven months
old. At her side stood little girl of
perhaps three. The baby's soft hair
was golden, and so, too, were the
curls of the little girl Their eyes
were blue The woman's eyes had
once been blue. Now they We're fad
ed: her sparse hair was faded Her
face was scanned and scared. But it
was not a bad face, not so much bad
as vacant, lacking in intelligence. 1t
was hopeless. tired, homely face.
She was dressed in a single, flowing
garment that had once been white and
she looked as Il she had made a pitt
full effort to appear clean and tidy
before the Judge. But no clothes
could make that bent and lumpy fig.
ure tidy. And under the drag.
ging, soiled garment she wore a pair
of huge shoes as misshapen as her
body or her gnarled hands.
She stood before the judge, and the
babe in her arms began to whimper.
She soothed it with low words and
with mothers quick, tender little
shakes, pattings and caresses. The
little girl of three was restless. She
ran around the courtroom. She paus-
ed in front of the judges rostrum,
she tiptoed, fearless but with grave
care, over to the bench where police
giants, huge oliicers in plain clothes,
and attorneys, were sitting. Brighten
ed for moment at something, she ran
back TO her mother and hid her head
in the woman's vOluminous dress, but
soon the little curly head looked out
and the restless feet took her on an.
other circuit Of the courtroom. Wide

what all this solemnity might be
about, what made all these big men
so silent, she went from one to the
other, apparently seeking smile on
every face. But there were no smiles.
Somehow the cynicism of the police
court habitues was forgotten. Instead,
whispers of pitying comment rose as
the men saw the two little children
and their mother brought before the
police Judge. ..@ :. .....
