Mrs. Nell Peabody was be- fore the court, charged with being a common night walker. She was found guilty by Judge Willlams and sen- tenced to a term of three years in the state workhouse. She had hardly con- cluded the exclamation: “My God! what an awful sentence; and men for more serious offenses get off lightly; Tl probably never see my other or daughters again,” when she ®as hus- tled to & cab and hurried to the rail- way statfon. Within eight minutes af- ter sentence she was on the train in cus- todayv of an officer, bound for the state | institution at Cranston. “In the event of an appeal, her bond was fixed at $500. In that same cab and on the same | train were Inez Taber and Bertha | ney, also adjudged guilty of being | common night walkers. Kach was| sentenced to the Oaklawn scnool for | girls during her minority.

A bag with $10,600 was taken from the mill paymaster masked r and the highwaymen es- caped, but the booty was found.
