Jeanne Carle- ton, so-called ‘flapper bandit’ has been pronounced legally dead by the courts. Anna Johnson is born in her place. Judge Russ Avery 6f the superior court has given Anna Johnson, in place of Jeanne Caleton, her one chance in ten thousanc. And that meats that the young woman must indeed be re-born, and live a life so different that she/will be expected to forget that Jeanne Carleton ever lived. The story of Jeanne Carleton is modern, intensely so, and has all the jazz that could be packed into the space of a few years by a girl in Anna Johnson. In the years to come you must remember that.’ Judge Avery then recited the con- ditions upon which he gave the girl a trial on probation. ‘They were: Change of her name from Jeanne Carleton to Anna JohMson and never to use any other than the old-fash- foned name of Anna. To live under the supervision of Mrs. McCracken, probation officer, in an institution. To let her hair grow. To stop using rouge, powder and cosmetics. To forget jazz parties and cabarets, To learn housework, To keep herself neat and clean in the old fashioned way. To communicate with her hus- band in prison only through Mrs. McCracken, These conditions of probation are to endure at least ten years, and if they are violated than the young woman is to be brought before the Assessment Work On Radium Mines search of adventure and thrills.

This merchandise is included in this final windup sale. sessment work on all mining claims carrying radium bearing ore is likely to be suspended for thrée years from July 1, 1923. A bill proposing this has been favorably reported to the house. The action is based on the Fecently reported discovery of radium ores in the Belgian Congo which may be worked at a fraction of the cost required on American ores of this character. The exten- sion is given in order that the Congo reports may be investigated. in by reporters in search of the un- usual in their writings from polico records. Nobody took the storlen of “flapper bandits” very seriously in police circles, and certainly not the police themselves. It was a real surprise, therefore, when Jeanne Carleton, hanging from the balcony of a hame in which a volunteer police officer had been slain in a duel in the dark with a burglar, dropped like a ripe plum into the arms of a policeman and was found to be the very type of a flapper bandit. A fortunate train unwittingly furnished through the capture of the young woman, led to Edward Carleton, just out of the navy, and fixed upon him the ertm: of killing of Special Officer Robert EB. Magee, who did police work for the love of it and walked boldily in upon Carleton at his work of burglary and was instantly killed by a shot from the dark. The flapper bandit was soon fden- tified as Jeanne Carleton, the bride of the young burglar and bandit and the police belleved her story that it was her first adventure in banditry or burglary with her husband. Carle- ton was brought to trial on a mur. der charge before a mixed jury of men and women. It seemed almost certain that he would recelve the death penalty, but because he was such “a good looking young man” some of the women jurors refused to vote to hang him, and he was sent to San Quentin on a life sen- tence. Jeanne Carleton was then brought to trial before Judge Russ Avery. She was adjudged guilty of man- slaughter. Her attorneys said they would put in an application for pro- bation, and it was thén that Judge Avery said there was only one chance in ten thousand that the ap- plication would be granted, Sat- the application came up before Avery.

Her escapades began about three years ago when she took the name of Jeanne. It was an ad- venture in psychology. She figured in two elopements, she bobbed her hair, she began the use of rouge and cosmetics, developed a complex for jazz in all its forms, and finally be- came the bride of Carleton and a partner in his desperate venture into banditry and ‘burglary.
