MS ACQUITTED BAD JTAME GIVEX TO CHILD QUE9TIO.V BY WITNESSES, EC Mother of 8-Yemr-Old Girl Chlded tor Allowing Youngster to Range Streets at Will. . R, J. Loynea. deputy Coroner, was acquitted of the charge of attempting to entice the 8-year-old daughter- of Mrs. Carrie Eaton Into the morgue of flee at Second and Jefferson streets last Monday, after a thorough investigation was made yesterday by Municipal. Judge Rossman and Deputy City At torney Stadter. At the same hearing Mrs. Eaton pleaded guilty to a charge of flourish ing a loaded revolver at V,-. Loynes. but was allowed her liberty upon her promise to surrender the weapon to the city, which she did later In the after noon. Evidence brought out at the hearing showed that the girl was not receiving the proper care at home. Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the Women's Protec tive Bureau, told of an Incident of two weeks ago. in which the girl had begged a ride from a driver for the Log Cabin Bakery and had then threat ened the driver that she would tell her mother that he had tried to force her to take a ride with, him unless he gave her a dime. Other witnesses testified that she had begged money frequently and was playing about the streets at all hours of th day. In dismissing the charge against Mr. Loynes, Judge Rossman warned Mrs. Eaton that she must give the cnild beLter care and keep her off tfhe streeta. He likewise told Mr. Loynes of the danger of stopping along the streets to talk with children, as it might at any time lead to an embarrassing sit uation, such as the one in question. Evidence showed that he had first talked to the girl after he had found other children in the neighborhood fighting her. After he had compelled the other children to leave her alone the girl then attempted to play upon his sympathy by asking him for money. In dismissing the case. Judge Ross man said that there had been no evi dence to show any misconduct what ever on his part. Question of Parenthood Is Put Up to Auditor.
