.L|GONIER DOCTOR GETS
SIXTY DAYS AND 5000
Judge Carpenter Not in Mood
to Be Lenient With Vio-
latOr of Mann Act.

CHICAGO. May 13.-Dr Louis =.
Weinberg, the Lgonier, Ind, physi-
clan, who was convicted of white slav-
cry, was sentenced today by Federal
Judge Carpenter TO serve 90 days in
the house of correction, and fined $500.
He was convicted of transporting
Grace Belle LOcher. a pretty LigOnier
girl, from Kalamazoo, Mich, TO Chi
cagO for immoral purposes.
When DR.. Weinberg came into court
TO be sentenced. Attys. Joseph Burres
and w. II. WigtOn presented a peti-
ton to Judge Carpenter signed by 400
residents of Ligonier setting out that
the physicians character there was
good and that he was deserving of
leniency. The jury which found DR..
Weinberg guilty also recommended
that the court be lenient.
Says Law No Joke.
Judge Carpenter in pronouncing
sentence said that he did not feel that
the court was justified in letting the
physician off with only a fine. The
punishment, he said, would have TO be
severe enough TO prevent making the
white slave law a joke.
The man who commits such Of
Tense should not be allowed TO forget
it," said the court.
Benjamin Z. Epstein. assistant dis
trict attorney. who prosecuted DR..
Weinberg. declined to make a definite
recommendation TO the court as to the
punishment to be inflicted. but de-
cIared that II should be substantial
so that the law on the subject should
be upheld
The government" he said, has not
questioned Dr. Weinberg's previous
reputation and character, but We did
prove that he transported Grace Belle
Locher from the home of her aunt IN
Kalamazoo TO Chicago, that he reSlst-
cred with her at a hotel and that he
did commit acts In violation of the
Mann act. The opinion OF 400 Ligo-
nier residents as to the doctors pre-
viOus habits has no bearing on the
facts which the jury found. The gov
ernment has shown beyond doubt
that DIR. Weinberg was guilty of the
violation. IL is left 10 the court 10 I'M
pose such sentence as viii be fair.
Saws Press Punished Enough.
Atty. Burres pleaded that the pub
licitv given 10 the trial and that the
bar imposed on his practice were sur
6cient punishment TO satisfy society.
THE glaring head lines which went
abroad over the land are greater pun
IIshment than imprisonment,e said the
attorney.
| Judge Carpenter listened TO the end
of this plea and then imposed sen
tence. In announcing the physician
punishment the court said.
