. JUDGE DENOUNGES C MANGIRL ACCUSES Galls Panl Morale Despicable, : Lowest Type of Criminal " After listening for more than an | Bour to a dramatic recital of the events of her life for the past sev- en months, by Stepheni Dykas, 21 year old New Bedford girl, and a denial of the charge of violation of the act concerning prostitution, by Paul Morale, aged 28, of 109 Clark street this city, followed by a scath- ing arraignment of the girl by At- torney Thomas F. McDonough, counsel for Morale, in police court this morning, Judge W. C. Hunger- ford committed the girl to the state farm for women at East Lyme and tmposed a fine of $100 and costs and a_jail sentence of five months on Morale. “The limit s $100 and six months in jail,” Judge Hungerford said. “I will fine him $100 and sentence him to jail for five months,” and ad- dressing himself to Attorney Mc- Donough, he said: “You may tell your client that I consider him the | most despicable and lawest type of | criminal that has ever come into &his court room.” Bonds for an ap- peal were set at $2000. As soon as sentence was pronounced, Prosecut- ing Attorney Woods said: “I am hoping that when this scntence is finished, the federal authorities will take action and send him to At- lanta, where he belongs,” to Which Attorney =~ McDonough replied: “While you are making statements, the sentence may never be finished. We're uppealing.” After Sergeants P. A. McAvay and P. . O'Mara testified at length to arresting the girl and Morale last Saturday evening in a room at 16 Prospect street, and obtaining ad- missions from the former that she had led a life of shame under threats by Morale that he would kill hher it she did not obey him, Dr. John Purney testified to her con- . dition, and Detective Sergeant Mc- Cue testified to being present in the detective bureau when the othet of- ticers questioned the couple. Attor- ney McDonough cross examined Ser- geants McAvay and O'Mara and suc- ceeding in preventing them from telling some of the statements made by the girl, because Morale was not present when she was questioned. It was brought out that they were questioned together and later indi- wvidually and she told all the details of her life to the sergeants when Morale was not present, although she told some within his hearing. Expresses Contempt for Morale Taking the witness stand after having. pleaded -guilty yesterday to the charge of residing in a disorder- 1y house, the girl accused Morale of having forced her to support him with money given her by men sent to the Prospect street room by Morale and another man. She point- ed out the latter in the gallery, referring to him as ‘“the man with the straw hat and the black mus- tache.”” Throughout. her testimony she displayed the utmost contempt for Morale, who, she said, had none -of her affections. She became acquainted with him in a restaurant in Hartford, where she was employed. The first evening he escorted her to her rooming place, he gave her a $20 bill and told her to ‘buy something for your- selt,” after she had told him she - fwas having difficulty paying her way. “For the first month I knew him, he did not insult me,” she said. Later, however, hé made plain his deeires, she said and took her to New Britain where they lived on IChurch street for one week. She went to her home in New Bedford, {Mass. and he followed her. He in- sisted that she accompany him to California by automobile, after she had introduced him to her mother, her brothers and sisters, but she did ®ot want to go. Threatens to “Fix Her Pretty” ' “He told me he'd fix me pretty if ¥ d1dn’t go with him,” she said. “No- body could get away from him as ‘easy as that, he said, so finally I decided to go with him, but I de- spised him.” They went to Kansas \ Kity and San Francisco, Callfornia, Rhe expenses being paid by him.

He was without #rip, and he told her she would be | bbliged to entertain men. The idea was repulsive, she said, obeyed and the first money she earned she tore up and threw at him Wwhile they were out riding. He be- icame 8o angry at this display of her when two men happened along and after asking him for a match, also asked the time. “I calmed him down after that,” she said. At the New Dom hotel, Hartford, he threat- ened to kill her with scissors and notify the police, and numerous other times he threatened to kill her, she said. He had her in Lena’s Restaurant, Hartford and a hotel at 4 Buckingham street, Hartford, she said. In reply to Attorney McDon- ough she claimed that the restaurant was in reality a disorderly house. Attorney McDonough cross exam- |ined her at length. and drew from | her the admission that she had been in an institution when a child for re- tusing’ to attend school, also that she had been an inmate of a dis- {orderly house in Hartford. She re- | plied somewhat hotly that she had no “record” anywhere and her only | dealings with the police in any city | resulted from advances by a,man in Hartford which reported to the po- 1 lice. She said she entertained about 30 men in the Prospect street room jin four days she and Morale were there. She knew he had gone to the { home of the man with the straw hat {and the mustache at 11:30 at night | and asked him to bring men to the room. ‘Mr. Paul would take the | money and put it in his pocket and not even say thank you,” she declar- ed. She said she became acquainted | with Morale seven months ago. Dentes Girl’s Charges Morale, questioned by Attorney McDonough, denied the girl's ac- cusations. He admitted having taken her on the trip to California and Florida, but denied that he had ever brought men to the room in this city or Hartford. He said he had enough money to live on com- fortably, as his mother owns con- siderable property and he is able to average $65 or $70 weekly at his trade as plasterer, The girl was never out of his sight more than half an hour, he said, and be be- lleved it would have been impossi- Lle for the incidents described to have happened.

The man who was in the kitchen with him and the girl when the police sergeants entered had called to see him, hav- ing learned he had jhst returned from the west. As Attorney McDonough turned Morale over to Prosecuting Attorney Woods for cross-examination, Judge Hungerford said he did not care to have him questioned. Twice dur- ing Attorney McDonough's examina- tion of the girl, Judge Hungerford asked him to pursue a different line Donough replied that his reason for insisting that she state definitely the number of men she entertained during the four days she lived on Prospect street. was to attack her integrity. “Well, I must ask you to make your attack in another way,” Judge Hungerford safd. “She has said she cannot state positively. Attorney McDonough claimed Moral should be discharged, be- cause of insufficlent evidence. There ‘was no question of his guilt on other charges, he said, but the testimony of the girl was entirely unsupported and should not be permitted to con- vict Morale, he said. “She is an old timer,” ¢he attorney declared. *“‘She has the slender thread of hope that her story will be the means, of let- ting her out, but I know Your Honor will not discharge her, as she is a menace to soclety. Some of her testimony hordered on perjury and she is entirely unreliable.” Although Morale or-the girl did not mention the fact, the testimony of Sergeant McAvay included a statement that a man said to be a by a girl, had started on the west- ern trip with tha accused couple, but in Kansas City, the physician stole the wearing apparel of Miss Dykas and Morale dnd left them. The latter then continued on the trip unaccompanied and represented that they were husband and wife. It also leveloped, during the hear- ing, that the girl told police she and Morale were married but as the questioning continued, Sergeant O'Mara took her into'the room and advised her to tell the truth, where- upon she admitted she had not been married, ‘although Morale said the wedding took place in California six months ago. ‘While Morale was on the stand, the girl restrained herself with ef- fort and several times the word “liar” could be observed on her lips, and she whispered denials of his testimony, to Mrs. Mary Metty, po- for the greatest NASH Amouncement... but she | temper that he threatened to take ! his hands off the wheel, and allow | the car to crash into anything that appeared in its path and kill them both.
