The white-haired gentlewoman, now 93 years old, moved recently to Springfleld from Highlandville, a small Missouri town. Despite her advanced age, she remembers vividly the events which led to Maximilian's tragic death before the firing squad after he had falled to hold firmly an empire on the American continent. | Mrs. Kentling was one of four| ‘women permitted to come to Amer- | ica with Maximilian. She accom | panied her first husband, a young| Austrian bandmaster, William Hei- die. She shared the heartaches and disappointments of Carlotta, the “mad cmpress” of Mexico. After the fall of the empire, she and her husband werc taken by This Nurse Just Couldn’t Stop Coughing Specialists Didn't Help For slight ordinary coughs almost any sweet cough syrup will do, but it you have one of those tough, old timers, that hang on and dte hard and that won't yield to common remedies and often keeps you awake at night then your one best bet is Bronchuline Emulsion.

HOUSE OWNERS CONVICTED Husband and Wile, Fined $50, Appeal o Superior Goart A statement signed Saturday night by Mra Margaret Sharpe, aged 21, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1928 of 241 Abbott avenue, Waterbury, | in which she charged Mrs. Katc McGowan with shuring in the profits of immoral practices at the McGow- an home, 14 Willow street, had some basis in fact although Mrs. Sharpe repudiated it, according to the finding of Judge M. D. Baxe in police court yesterday afternoon, and he imposed a fine of $50 and | costs and a suspended jail sentence of 30 days on Mrs. McGowan, who | was charged with keeping a house of ill fame and receiving femalea for immoral purposes. Her husband, Cephus McGowan, who was charged with keeping a house of {1l fame, was also found guilty and fined $50 and costs and given a jail sentence of 30 days. Through Attorney Thomas F. McDonough, the couple gave notice of appeal to superior court and bonds were fixed at $500 in the man's case and $100 in the case of his wife. Mrs, Sharpe was found guilty of the charge of being an inmate of | the house and was fined $35 and costs with a suspended jail sentence of 30 days, while Mrs. Mamie Whit- field, aged 27, of 48 Kennedy street, | Hartford, who was similarly charg- d, was fined $25 and costs and given a suspended jail sentence of 30 days. 489 Main street, George W. Jackson, aged 48, of 14 Willow street, Joseph Recywicz, aged 35, of 83 Sexton atreet, Henry McGowan, aged 32, of 14 Wiftow street, and Charles Telky, aged 44, of 98 Belden street, charged with frequenting, were discharged, Judge Saxe remarking that he was on a permanent basis and officers will be elected. Alfred Behnke, aged 42, of | satistied that the men merely hap- pened 10 be there when the raid was made. Henry McGowan and Jack- son make their home there Woods Atlacks Ownerd, The trial lasted more than an hour yesterday forenoon and was resumed shortly betore 3 p. m. and lasted until ¢:¢46 o'clock. Prosecut- ing Attorney J. G. Woods attacked ' Mr. and Mrs, McGowan, charging them with having fiaunted their im- morality in the face of the police and the public for seven years. “They are covered with the leprosy of ain,” he declared with feeling. “They ought to go to jail for six months, yes, doutle six months, and the police and the public would be | well rid of them Mrs. 8harpe sign- | ed a statement Saturday night and | told the truth when she wccused | Kate McGowan of keeping girls at her home for immoral purposes but she has had time to refiect in the meantime and now she repudiates her charges ani her admissiona. The complaint I drew in this case ‘has been amply substantiated and back- ed up by the testimony of the police, especially the officers on the beat, who saw parties going in and out of this terrible place, at all hours of the night. It is a brothel and nothing else, maintained by Kate McGowan with the full knowledge ! of her husband.” Attorney McDonough declarcd the case had not been proven and Mr. and Mrs, McGowan were entitled to a discharge on the evidence present- ed. The statement of Mrs. Sharpe, made while she was surrounded by “husky police scrgeant,” quite nat- urally included everything the police wanted her to say, and if there are arrests made toright and cases brought jnto cour* tomorrow morn- ing, there will be statements intro- duced, reading exactly as this one read, he eaid. Mra Sharpe and Mrs, Whitfield explained their presence in the MeGowan home very satisfec- torily and uot one of the state's witnesses was able to testify that a single act of immorality was com- mitted, the attorney said. The po- lice used two warrants within four hours in direct violation of the constitution of the United States and the conatitution of the state of Con- necticut, which guarantee protection against illega) search and seisures “They rushed in there because they knew that the people were only poor colored folks who did not amount to anything in their opinion, but they amount to something in this court #nd J am sure that Your Honor will accord them the same justice every other prisoner before the bar is entitled to” he said. Woman Repudiates Statement. After the state’s case was in, At- torney McDonough moved for the discharge of Mr. and Mrs. McGow- an and Judge Saxe denied the mo- tion, The accused persons took the witness stand and submitted them- selves to & severa croas examination. Mrs. Sharpe accused the police of “saying this and that" and confusing her to such an extent that she finally made ths damaging state- ment and signed it. She had never had experience with police before, she said, and they frightened her. They told her they would help her if aho told them about Mrs. Mc- Gowan, but the fact is, she sald that her statement was untrue. 8he de- nied that she had solicited Lambert Canning, police “agent,” but accused him of making a2 improper proposal to her, which she repulsed. Mrs, Sharpe said she does not live with her husband because he beat her when he was intoxicated. Mrs. Whitfield denied that she had engaged in immoral practices SHOCK ABSORBERS Think of tne constant vibration of st the MoGowan home. She was there on a visit and helped Mrs. Mec- Gowan wait ona table when there were customers for meals. She never aw liquor dispensed there and she also denied that she or Mrs. Bharpe or anyone else had ever done anything immorai or fllegal there, she sald. The police tried to have her say she entertained men im- morally, but she would not do so. Asked where her husband was, she replied that he was in Spring- field. “What is he doing there?” Mr. Woods asked. "He was doing six months,” ghe replied. The fre- quenters denfed that they were in the McGowan home for immoral purposes. Jachson has made his home with the MoGowan's for seven years, and Henry McGowan, brothex of Cephus, has been there since February 8, when he returned from Hartford. “What were you working at in Hartford,” Mr. Woods inquir- ed. “Making chairs,” waa the reply. “Oh, you were in Hartford county jall, making chaim at 42 Beyms street, Mr. Woods pursued. “Seventy- two Seyms street, sir,” McGowan corrected him. Telky and Recywica denied that they had knowledge of immoral acts at the place. Recywicz eaild he was hungry and went to the plade for pork chops. He sald he was not sitting near Mrs. Whitfield for any particular reason, while Behnke ex- plained his presence by ‘saying he was out for a walk and stopped in, as he was acquainted with the Mc- Gowans. All implicated in the case are colored, with the exception of Behnke, Recywics and Telky. Judge Saxe remarked as he dis- posed of the case that he suapended the jail sentence in Mrs. McGowan's case on account of the fact that sl is the mother of two children. He was inclined to be lenient with Mrs, Sharpe because of her youthfulness and the fact that she was never ar- rested before, but he warned her to be careful of her actions and the places she frequents.
