A Crop and the Jury— NORWICH MAN HELD ¢ FOR WHITE SLAVERY George W. Tells of His Actions With Fifteen Year Old Girl. George W, Vars, aged 34 well knewn as a fish peddler and es cap- tain of the small steamer Howard, and also as master of different smaller boats, was.arrested late Friday after- noon charged with vielation of the Mann white slave act, and lodged in the Franklin Street jail, at New Lon- don, pending a hearing. Af 10 o'elock Sl!urdn!' forenoon he was brought before United States Commissioner Frank L, MoGuire. His counsel, Perry Hollandersky, waived examination and Commissioner Mec- Guirg held the accused for the federal court’ under bonds of $15,000. United States Marshay Bishop took him back to jail where he will remain until the next gession of the federal court. The case ig one of the most revolt- ing that has come to the attention of the authorities in many vears. Offi- cers Willlam E. Jackson and Edward J, Hilkey made the arrest and after six hours’ work procured from Vars & signed statement regarding his ac- tions with one Marien Long, at pres- ent only 15 years old, and with a woman named Marion .Corey. No testimony was offered at the hearing Saturday forenoon, but Vars' signed statement contains, among other mdre viclous admissions, the following: “I am 34 years old, wac born in Norwich, now reside in fte Harris bullding, New London. 1 have held @ license_as master and pilot of ves- gels for 12 years and have been on the water since the age of 9, “I was marrled to Caroline Mellow at Westerly, R. .I, July 17, 1901, and we lived together for 12 years. She then obtained a_ divorce from me on grounds of adultery. The woman in the case was Marion Corey of Nor- wich, divorced wife of John Corey. We went to New London and lived on a launch. The, latter part of March, while the Corey woman and I were aboard the steamer Howard at Providence, we answered .an advertisement by a Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Jong for someone to adopt a healthy 12 years' old girl. The girl's mother had died and Mr. Long brought along a woman named Rosa Schofield. They party over ihe boat and the girl said lhrfl:hou!ht she would like to live n e boat. On_Aurfl 8, 1915,"Mrs. Corey, Rosa Schofield, Sidney Lons, the girl and myself went to the Providence city hall, where T stated that Mrs. Corey was m¥ wife and also told the pro- bate judge ‘that we were married, The child was then legally - ndopted and we returned to the boat. Following this recital the statement zoes .on"to tell ‘about immoral rela- tions both with Mrs. Corey and with the girl in' Rhode Island, Conmnectient and New York. In 1917 while Vars was without a hoat and was, peddling fish between Norwich ‘and- New London the girl was living with his father, and at- tended the Montville- nchool. She was known as Marion Vars, The illieit relations were confinued during all the period of. his- dequaintance: with her. He raid $5 a wee for her board while &t Mant¥ille. 1917, his mother About February, said that 'stories were beinz eireu- lated by Vars' father regarding his relations with the girl and ahe advised him to marry her, Meanwhile Marion Corey deserted him . while in New York, going away with some other mon. On Sept. §, 1917, he ot Long and fhe Schofleld woman to o to New Tondon from Providence In order in wive their consent to the merriaze of the girl. He met them at the Union Aepot, and thev went to the New London city hall, where they told the fown cierk that the mirl was ° the drughter of Mrs. Sidney Long. both of whom gava their consent to the mar- riage. They obtained the license, and went to tre home of the Rev. C. Har- bility of this variety for fZeneral nuse throughout the state. ture 7.

Among the regulations is one which he abstinence days for soldiers and sallors actually engaged in the service of the United States are Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Holy Satur- till noon (besides Christma§ eve the Eve of the Assumption, out- side the season of Lent).” After listing the regulations, Bishop Nilan says in par “As be e lations, even les 0 is demanded in the matter of food; the spirit-of the Lenten fast, however, remains, Self denlel is the basis of the moral order, the begin- ning of the spiritual progress. The church does not relax the rigor of her diecipline to belittle the *necessity of By the above regu- abstinence than In the manner of practiting it. “With “all the more reason, then, should we cheerfully obey the call which in the present crisis is made b the nation to all citizens for self denial and sacrifice along certain specified lines, Miliions of gur fellow men face starvation and eath, The government of the United States appeals to us to forego luxuries and restrict ourselves to’ the bare’ necessarles of life so that, out of our abundance, we may feed the hungry, support the destitute and safeguard the existence of men and nations,.. Complience with this request in the name of Christian charity is no less commendable than the practice of self denial for our persongl perfection. In either case we are fulfilling the sreat commandment of love by service of God and our neighbor in the most practical and salutery observance of mercy. The Son of Ged has made known to us the terms of His sen- tence on the day of judgment: ‘Amen, I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my-least brethren, you did it to Me’ Matt. XXV, 40. “Only by the utmost eyactness in co-operating with the government can we provide the means necessary to support our neighbors as well as our~ selves. The self indulgence of the few may be the cause of. suffering to the many. If those who can afford to pay take advantage ofothe opportunify to acquire a surplus by guilty hoarding, the poor will be.deprived of the mea; to live and irreparable wrong will done our country's cause. Our co- operation is sought especially in the matter of food and fuel. While the church hah modified. the stringency of her discipline relating to fast and ab- stinence, it is incumbent on us all to observe the regulations made by the officers of our state and federal gov- ernment. In addition to the restric- tions imposed by -ecclésiastical law, due observance should be: given to directions iesued by. clvil authority.” Bishop Nilan then summarizes the different days of self denial ordered by the government guthorities.
