LANDS WOMAN
IN LAWS GRIP
But Jury of Own Sex, For
Which She Asked, De-
cides Against Her

Cleveland, Oct. 30.-Promptings of
the heart are greater than the die
tates of the law, Mrs. Goldie Drossos
told jury of women in police court
when she pleaded that she and John
G. Buttery had become enmeshed in
laws entanglements by ''the deeper
love-"
1t was 'the deeper lover" she
said, that caused her to leave her
husband in Columbus and come here
with her three young children to live
with Buttery. Upon her plea that
only a woman could understand" )"
the court appointed a jury of women
the first of it's kind in the city's
history-to act in an advisory ca
pacity.
Mrs. Drossos testified that her hus-
band had failed to properly provide
for herself and children; was cruel,
and threatened her life. Love died.
II had to sell my babies toys in
order to buy a pair of shoes for one
OF them" she declared. John was
kind and gave me money"
Despite the woman's plea the Jury
asked that she be punished for sin
ming against society" The Judge
then fined Buttery and the woman
$500 each and sentenced them to
three months in the workhouse.
The children were sent to the
father in Columbus, Ohio.
