ing Sentence to be Imposed
' Monday Morning.
As predicted in a recent issue of
The News, RosoburgB bawdy house
is to close shortly at least uch Is
the decision reached In the circuit
court this morning, when JnUj.it! J.
V, Hamilton, presiding, fino.i Mts
Agnes Stapleton, the landlady, In the
sum of 5250 with the understanding
that she cease further operations
of the joint (immediately.
Following the indictment return
eel hy the grand jury yesterday,
charging Miss Stapleton with the
crime of conducting a bawdy house.
Attorney W. JV. Cardwell, repre
senting the defendant, appeared in
court this morning, and upon behalf
of his client entered a plea of guilty.
In an attempt to reduce the fine as
low as possible the attorney for the
defendant addressed the court at
length, stating that la the event R
nominal fine was Imposed the ac
cused would gladly close the house
as requested by the moral stricken
populace. Cardwell further said that
the local officers, the district attor
ney excepted, had made not attempt
to molest the house or some time
past, previous to the recent raid, and
that he believed they had tolerated
Its operation. In explanation to the
fatter statement the attorney said
that the inmates of the -joint had
been arrested frequently years ago,
and upon being arraigned had simp
ly entered a plea of guilty, paid the
fine Imposed, and returned to their
haunts to resume business. Further
Mr. Cardwell alleged that the in
mates had donated their mite to
ward the operation of the cfiv gov
ernment, and than the same had
been accepted by the officials with
out question. Mr. Cardwell also
questioned the indictment returned
In- (lip grand jury, alleging that a
bawdy house did not constitute a
house or ill fame the two being
quite different under the
oxlsllng I
lawfj.
l- Concluding his address District At
torney Brown spoke briefly, simply
stating thnt he believed his indict
ment, would hold water, and that
he did not bellave the city officials
were in a habit of tolerating houses
of this nature. At least
he said
