hope soon to enforce the .'cat o.
nine tails" as an addition 10 terms
of imprisonment to men found guilty
of selling dope" to girls.
The public cutlery against the dope
sellers has been further swelled by
the description of the living room
of one of these sellers recently SEN
fenced.
Writing to the London Times, a
kings councillor says:
picture the prisoners room as it
was described by the police!
I'm it were phials of morphine,
bottle with traces OF cocaine. an
opium pipe, pocketbook containing
drugs and 4 dope" price list. a re-
volver and number OF very in
decent photographs
'The worst of poisons, noisons
which dethrone the reason and de-
stroy self-cCntrol firearms and OBJ
scene photographs! Can anyone
imagine the fate of these girls, who,
in their innocence. entered that ar
senal of vice."
This man was sentenced only to
six months.
The public is demanding that
men of his kind should be given six
years and horsewhipping, with
the cat into the bargain

sheriff, however, didn't take kindly
to the accusation and Immediately
escorted his prisoner away to bring
him to the city for safe Keeping
