The judge, jury, counsel for both the defense and prosecution, and even the bailiffs and audience consisted of women. Mme. Antonova faced her accusers in the largest theater of the city as several thousand women looked on pityingly. Tempering her condemnation of the crime with true feminine sympathy, the prosecutor declared that while society would re- gard: the offense as a brutal one, the prisoner’s act was attributable to the conditions of misery and oppression under which the working classes were forced to live during the czarist regime. This, she said, had forced from the heart of the woman all human feel- ings. The judge, moved Sy the leni- ency of the prosecutor and the com- passion of the weeping audlence, modified the usual punishment for the death of another so that Mme. Anto- nova was sentenced to scrve only sixteen months in prison. e eatle AL The majority of factories in Shang- hai and other Chinese cities are Brit- ish owned.
