My dear sir:
In presenting this communication to

Owing to the severe and widespread
criticism of the exoneration Of the

feel that we are warranted in taking
up this defense-in the interest Of
society-and preventing the danser TO

and inexperienced girls.
If the verdict Of the jury be in keep
ing with the tenor of the law. we
trust that in the future it may be so
revised as not to let culprits escape
the punishment due them and dehar
them from plying a vocation 50 ne
farious and so disgraceful to civiliza-
ton
To let loose the woman and her ac-
cessories upon the public to resume
and ply their vocation IS not only
contrary to natural law. but q crime

There is an inclination on the part
of some weIl-meaning people to re-
proach judges as instrumental in al
lowing criminals to escape the pun
ishment due them by law.
This is a grave error, as we have
heard charges made TO the jury almost

There was no indication, however
whet her Mr.. Hines would give an inn
mediate answer.
The principal question remaining
in dispute is the demand of the broth
erhoods for time and a half for over
time for trainmen in road service
Labor leaders admitted this to be the
pivotal point, but they seemed to feel
that settlement was in sight
Questions of wages, which. at first
were not involved in the direct de-
mands, were said to have cropped UP
in recent sessions and were brought in
again today. Neither side believed
the differences on wages would pre-
cipitate prolonged difficulties, how
ever Mr. Hines was said to have
stood steadfastly by his previous dec
laration that no general advance in
wages could be given serious consid-
