with the disclosure this week
that Alfred w ingalls, and his
wife may appear before the
Federal grand jury to testify
about their employment Of Miss
Jones.
The former Massachusetts
solon and Mrs ingalls, have al
ready branded. as ridiculous"
the charges that they "enslav-
ed' their maid Dora L Jones.
Following an investigation by
the FBI the wealthy couple
were arrested at San Diego and
charged specifically with violat-
ing of the 18th Amendment.
That Amendment states:
Neither slavery nor involun-
tary servitude, except as a pun
ishment for crime whereof the
party shall have been duly con-
victed, shall exist within the
United States, or any place sub
iect to their Jurisdiction"
Miss Jones, who is held in
protective custody by the FBI
was brought here to testify to the
grand jury. She said she had
been taken at the age Of IT
from an Alabama mission
school by Mrs ingalls,, who at
the time was unmarried and a
missionary at the school.
She was regularly employed
as a maid with Mrs ingalls, and
her first husband. After Mrs In
gals was married to her pres
ent husband the maids status
was changed and during more
than 30 years she was forced to
work without pay. Il did the
laundry, ouse-cleaning, cook
ing, gardening, washed their
car every day. I worked from
4:SO a m to 10 p m and when
members of my family came to
visit me, they were sent away"
Testifying earlier at the
hearing Mrs Richard Roberts,
daughter of Mrs ingalls, by the
former marriage, said She
knew about the irregularity Of
Dora's services lever since !
was a child. Dora was my nurse.
When I first went to public
school and learned that people
who work earn salaries, then
really knew what it was" she
