CHEYENNE VIOLATORS OF ABATEMENT ACT IN JAIL FOR NINETY DAYS CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 7:—Coun- sel for Mrs. Daisy Robinson and Sam Poulous, proprietors of the Metropoli- tan hotel here, committed an error of judgment Friday when, after Judge ‘W. H. Edwards had sentenced the two named to fines of $50 each and 80 days in jail for conducting an im- moral place, he called the court's at- tention to the fact that the “abate- ment” statute, under which the charge against the pair had been brought, permitted infliction of either @ fine or a jail sentence, but not beth. ‘The court promptly acknowledged his error and sentenced Mrs. Robinson and Poulous to three months in jail. Conviction of the pair under the abatement statute was the result of the discovery by her brother several weeks ago, that Miss Dorothy Dur finger of Greeley, Colo., was receiving men in a room in the hotel and was dividing the proceeds of immorality there with Mrs. Robinson, if not per- hays with Poulous as well. At that time the couple were fined $100 each in police court. In both cases the Durfinger gir] was the chief witness for the prosecution and in both her testimony was. corroborated by that of her brother. As a result of disclosures during the two trials abatement proceedings against the Metropolitan hotel, with the object of securing a court order closing the place for one year, are to be brought without opposition from the owner of the hotel, the Colorado & Southern Railroad company, the corporation being willing that such an order should issue because that would enable it tu get rid of Mrs. Rob- inson and Poulous, who hold a lease on the place. As soon as the order is issued and the lease surrendered it is anticipated that the order will be re- voked and the Colorado & Southern permitted to ‘ease the hotél to re- spectable persons.
