Real justice, not the legal kind, entered a King county court room this morning.

Allen used to work Im a restaurant as cashier from noon midnight, and she never had occasion to enter he loft. She knew Dusband was not a real criminal, though he pleaded gullty to charge of grand larceny. PROSECUTOR FAVORED REAL JUSTICE She went to see Deputy Proseentor Hugh M. Caldwell, She iim pressed Caldwell with her story of how husband and wife were strug together to maintain a home and rear up their children as good . Caldwell made an investigation and found that Alien yielded © a great temptation temporarily; that he really possessed no crim foal instincts, and was a hard-working man And he reported the result of his investigation to Judge Gay “Pils morning Alien came up for sentence, “I have never before recommended that a man over 21 should ive & suspended sentence,” said Caldwil. “In this case, it seems me the ends of justice would be best served if this were done. 1 tint the statates do not provide for suspended sentences in of prisoners over 21 years, but {t may be considered that your has allowed this defendant to go on his personal recognizance he may receive a pardon.” Judge Gay turned to Allen, saying “1 am glad. your wife is in the court room now. | want her ta Your wife has stood i a loyally, and it is, perhaps, more for her sake and the children, 4 thie court will disregard strict technicalities and be lenient with You. Justice, after all, demands the making of better citizens rather than punishing people.” Judge Gay then sentenced Allen to one year in the penitentiary ‘and immediately suspended the sentence. “{ shall require you to write to the prosecuting attorney at least once every two weeks for the next two ye ne id to Allen. “Let him know where you live and what you do.

POPE’S CONDITION IS SERIOUS ROME, June 24.—Rumors of a steady decline in the pope's health persist alarmingly here today. It seems reasonably certain, that the most it is possible to y truthfully is that His condition is not such immediate anxiety. Certainly Pope Pius suffers from at’ jokes of gout with in creasing frequency and each successive attack weakens him more. The greatest danger is that one of th attacks may affect his heart or stomach, in which case a serious result would soon ensue. : .
