One OF the women was let 20
and the other was convicted OF
vagrancy.
COTE was sentenced to two
" terms of six months each,
one for running a brothel. the
other for possessing the slot ma
chimes and fined 500 on the
liquor charge.
He paid the fine but was re-
leased on probation until June
20, 1884, when. again, he was
arrested on a liquor charge.
This caused the revocation Of
his parole and he was sent to
the House OF Correction to serve
his six months.
While thus engaged Cote was
taken to court on the new liquor
charge and given one month adj
ditional.
He appealed this sentence and
was given a new trial before
jury which took a more serious
view and hiked the one-month
sentence to three months and
added a fine of 500 which was
paid.
Thus his total time out of cir
culation was nine months.
The police data in the files at
headquarters in Worcester say
the young woman who was con-
victed OF vagrancy told the
policemen Of the vice squad that
she shared her earnings $3.50
with Cote.
WHILE Cote was serving his

and he got sentimental about
his mother and applied for parole
so that he could be with her.
This was denied and the sin

by the fact that. In April, 1893,
