remain in jail until the" appeal is
carried 'tp the higher -courts. . -
The- scene in Judge ' Honore's
Courtroom was dramatic "when
See arose to have sentence passed
upon him.
. ' The room was , crowded with
jiis.-disciples, mainly women,-who
'believed in his "teachings and in
'his innocence in spite of there
, vol ting practices of the culbtesti--fied
,to,. and .the immoral atmos
phere surrounding his girlish con
verts.
There -were men-in the court al
so. Big, strong men; hardened
"court attaches, innured'to the
seamy and sordid side of life, who
- "were sickened by the story of
See's associations with the in'no
t:ent followers of his teachings.
- When See was sentenced a sigli
-of pity ran through his disciples-.
-A -growl of approval arose from
tfhe;men, jjuickly silenced by the
..co.urtbailiffs. . . , -.? .
See trembled, his iace blanch-
e'd, and he got unsteadily to his
feet '
T protest "he. stammered.
"Let your lawyers do that m
court," interrupted"a,bailiff. '.
And Evelyn Arthur See, be
trayer of Mildred Bridges, wreck
er of her mother's, life, and who
had brought sorrow and disgrace
to her aged fatheV," was face ' to
face with the iron-barred gatesof
