At the trial Anthony Jurich was

The Salt Lake Tribune says that
the evidence of the government wit

cabaret at Ely, came TO Salt Lake City
last October and induced Doraiinc
Mekandrick, 22 years of age: Bernice

To go to Ely and enter the cabaret as
entertainers. Ajax, according to the
evidence, furnished their railroad
fares. Testimony showed that the
cabaret was located in a restricted
district There was further evidence
to the effect that the girls were in the
employ OF Ajax for two weeks and
then went 10 Tonopah, New. where
they again entered cabaret.
In instructing the Jury Judge Til.
man ID. Johnson said that the mere
fact that the girls were transported
from Utah and placed in an environ
ment tending to degrade them moral
ly was sufficient evidence to convict
the defendants. This fact. he said
could be interpreted as debauchery.

He says that some unusual points in

be termed an amended indictment,
