ting to Delinquency of
Lutte Pruyn.

Mrs. Nan Thompson. Implicated in
the recent trial OF +. c. Hall on the
charge of statutory rape, was arrested
yesterday on a bench warrant issued

ting to the delinquency Of 14-year- old
Lusetta Pruyn, the complaining wit

able by a sentence of not more than
nine months in the county Jail or a
fine of not more than $1,000. Either

imposed. in the event of conviction.
The information states that the de-
PENDANT caused and permitted the
Pruyn girl to associate with vicious
and immoral persons" and knowingly
permitted the child to violate the laws
of the state.
The witnesses in the case are prac-
tically the same as those testifying in
the Hall trial with a few additions.
Hall is named as a witness for the
state.
The arrest was made through Mr..
Thompson. who pleaded that his wife
was in an extremely nervous state and
that ne did not wish to subject her to
undue shock. He conducted her to
the courthouse where she waited until
the bond money had been procured.
1t is said that Mr.. Thompson has told
the authorities that he wished to
leave town at once to assume a posi-
