910 5 street. who fired the first gun
against the House of Detention with a
suit for a permanent injunction against
its locating next door to him, presided
at last nights meeting and informed
the residents of the area of the progress
of the fight.
After the meeting, which Mrs. Van
Wrinkle attended. sitting in the rear
of the crowded hall. the policewoman
chief stood outside the entrance of the
new detention quarters and as the citi-
zenry passed invited them to come in
and inspect her work. Between 80 and
40 accepted the invitation and listened
for half an hour while Mrs. Van Wrinkle
explained the work her organization is
doing and told how the new building
would be used.
Defendants in the Winsatt suit, in

HAB|TUAL CRIMINAL
LAW FIGHT IS SEEN
Michigan Is Aroused by Sem

|. for Fourth Offense.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich, December 13.--
Michigan's moot law, which COM
mands life imprisonment for a person
four times convicted of felony, had
fastened its fingers for the first time
today upon woman.
A jury of 10 men and two women yes
terday convicted Mrs. Eta Mae Miller
of selling liquor her fourth conviction
on felony charge. The verdict was
returned in the courtroom of Judge
! Charles B. Collingwood, the same judge
who heard the trial of Fred Palm, first
person to be sentenced under the law
The Palm case attracted wide attention
when the defense contended that Palm
was given life for having pint of gin"
Husband Is Serving Term.
Mrs. Miller, 48 years old, is the moth
er Of 10 children, four of whom are
living. OF these, she testified, she was
the sole support. Her husband already
is serving a penitentiary sentence for
prohibition law violation.
An appeal which may bring to test
a disputed point in the habitual GRIM
inal clause of the criminal code will be
filed by State Senator Seymour Person,
attorney for Mrs. Miller, he announced.
Person was undecided today whether
the appeal would be from the convic-
ton itself or would contend that the
habitual criminal clause should not be
retroactive
Mrs. Miller's three previous convic-
tions we're prior to enactment of the
present code in 1927. If that fact is
used as the basis of an appeal, it is be-
lieved Supreme Court decision would
affect similar laws in other States.
Controversy over the law involved
had been heated for several weeks.
Repeal May Be Sought.
Two prosecutors recently have refused
to issue warrants for dry law offenders
because of the imprisonment clause.
Harold H. Smedley, Muskegon County
prosecuting attorney, declared my con-
science wouldn't let me-" Several re-
ports have been published that move
ment to repeal the clause would be in
itiated when the State Legislature con-
venes next month. Gov. Fred Green
has indicated he will oppose any weak
ening of the criminal code.
Mrs. Miller took her conviction calm
", but protested over and over last night
In her cell that "they can't send me to
prison for life-they can't do it." She
asserted throughout the trial that the
testimony of the arresting officers was
false.
