People v. Jones

No appearance for plaintiff. William Hatfield for defendant. often of definitely antisocial nature being fed to children, it is easy for them to succumb to temptation held out to them to gain by their acts of delinquency such as stealing. I am loath to impose a prison sentence upon this woman because of the fact that she has a four-months-old baby. Whether she will go to prison or not is in her own hands. The sentence of the court is that she be committed to the workhouse for four months and pay a fine of $50. However, execution of the sentence to the workhouse will be stayed for the period she is sentenced, and during that period she is to be on probation. Violating the rules of probation will be the key that she will use to open the door to the workhouse.
