The judges retired to the judge's parlor and heard the evidence Mrs. McCray, the girl aud the pris oner, after which Andrews was again arraigned. Iu sentencing him Judge Lore said: "Andrews, you have been Indicted for using a girl for Immoral purposes who was under the age of 14 years The act 18b# is very stringent regarding this aud we think rightly. We see no reason your case, after Investigating the story of the mother and the girl and your plea, for exercising any leniency towards you. The object of the law is to suppress crime of this nature. There la nothing that appeals more strongly to the law, for remedy, than carnal inter I course with children of this age.

It is shown that you were drunk at the time you committed the crime That furnishes no excuse in the eyes of the law, however. I hope you will drink no more rum " The'cases of John Stannard, Frank J Mullin, Edward McConnell, Joseph Rodgers, Edward McCary.
