Bane, Civil War veteran, Miss May Brinkley, 1200 block of O street, was sentenced to 15 days by Judge Isaac R. Hitt in Police Court today, the sentence being changed after consultation with the District attorney to six months’ probation. Mrs. Bane told the court that “since my husband fills his honored grave in Arlington, I am a lone widow without friends in the city,” and explained how she went to room at the Brinkley home last July. Since then there has been a constant argument over the rent, it was testified, which was climaxed Tues- day when Miss Brinkley found Mrs. Bane cooking her breakfast in the apartment of another roomer.
