Hearing; Trial Saturday
ALLEGE OFFENSE
BEGAN IN 1915
Woman Is Married; Said
She Left Husband For
Non Support

Charged with violating the Mann
white slave act, Robert Brown and
Trude Dorch were given a prelimi-
nary hearing before United States
Commissioner Sullivan Tuesday
morning and the trial was continued
until Saturday at ten o'clock. when
material witnesses will be brought to
testify.
The couple were arrested late Mon
day, at Pace, by United States Depu-
ty Marshal C. P. Mcmillan, and were
brought to Pensacola and locked in
the county Jail.
Evidence brought out in the taking
of testimony yesterday showed that
the case was first heard of early in
October, 1916, when the Justice of
the peace at MillviIle, communicated
with authorities here. 1t was at that
time stated that the couple had gone
to Brewton, in Alabama, from Mill
vile, in Florida.
Warrants were sworn out for their
arrest in Brewton, but the two had
gone to Pace, where they were appre-
hended.
In cross examination for the pre-
liminary hearing, Mrs. Dorch said
that she had husband living, Jack
Dorch, whom she had married in
Ozark, December q, 1915. In April,
1916, the testimony recited, she left
her husband because of non support
and i'll treatment by his relatives.
She was then living at Cypress.
Her mother sent her money to
leave Cypress, she stated, to go to
Millville, where her father lived.
After arriving at Millville, she said
that she had written her husband
several times, but that he told her
in one letter that he didn't intend to
live with her any more.
Of her relations with Brown she
said that he was taking care of her
but that she sometimes worked for
money, and it was in this way that
she earned her fare from Millville to
Brewton. They intended to get a di-
vorce for Mrs. Dorch, she said, to en-
able her to marry Brown, whom she
declared she loved so much that she
was willing to have her head cut off
! for him.
Brown was employed in the Pace
mill, at Melville.

The Sailors Laughter

A well-dressed young lady,
very modest and much in earn
est, called at the United States
army recruiting station Tues
day afternoon and wanted to
know what she must do and to
whom she must go to join the
navy, stating that she had read
in the papers lately that wom-
en- were needed for the navy
and that they were being en-
listed. Now Corporal Johnson,
the recruiting officer, though
a military man, is very shy, and
was so embarrassed that it was
some time before he could think
of telling her to apply to the

afraid of those navy men: they
would laugh and make fun of
me. and / couldn't stand that"
With that she walked out of the
office, very much disappointed.
