A Love TRAGEDY

to her. | told her TO 80 home to her
parents, for knew that she had not
been true to me"
This is the story told in municipal
court by John Conley, arrested with
Marguerite Fray for "lewd conduct"
The latter was a pretty girl Of less
than twenty years. Conley said he
was 26. This is her story;
Il left my home in Indiana last
August because my father wanted Inc
to marry a man whom ! did not love
First l stopped at Vinita for time;
then l came to Tulsa We were to be
married If | would be true to him
But l wasn't true and he told me to
go home"
Her eyes filled with tears. Both
were painfully frank The Judge did
not inquire for unnecessary details. A
lecture seemed out Of place. They
were Just boy and girl who had made
a mistake in life.
The fine was SO each. They sat
in their chairs as If paralyzed with
fear whed the sentence was given.
Plainly they had never been in court
before. The iailer politely indicated
the door to the Jail, for neither had
enough to pay out. It was easy for
him, but she hesitated. Then as if
all were lost she stepped quickly down
the stairs into the city prison.
