LAWYER PLEADS IN VAIN Identity of Alice Randolph Re- vealed to Official, but They Keep It Secret. Mrs. EB. Virginia Evers, wife of Fred- erick Evers, a furniture manufacturer, who last Tuesday pleaded guilty to the charge of brutally beating her fourteen- year-old ward, Alice Randolph, was sen- tenced in Special Sessions to-day to three months in the penitentiary. The woman collapsed when sentence was pronounced. Tombs attaches helped he: from the courtroom. When Mrs. Evers was taken into court and placed in the steel cage she was greatly agitated. She wore the same heavy blue vell that has con- cealed her features in ccurt since her arraignment. When she was called be- fore the bar she walked with dlMculty and whea her vell, was raised as she faced Justices Mcinerny, Salmon and Mayo. her eyeaquowed Jack, and’ almost terror.

Dr, W. Travis Glbb of tho Children’ Society told of examining Alice Ran- dolph on November 2%. He said he found forty-elght contusions on the girl's body and testified that the tn- Juries were only twenty-four hours old. Edward Miehling, attorney for Mrs, Evers, pleaded for her, saying that dur- ing the nine years he had Known the woman the child had been well cared for, He denied that previous beatings had been inflicted upon the girl, but admitted the present charge. He plead- ed that Mrs. Evers had lost her temper and whipped the child more severely than she should, “The mistake that Mrs. Evere has made," said Attorney Miehling, that | she had tried to shield an honest and good woman. Had she told in the be- ginning of her reasons for concealing the identity of the child I do not believe she would have been convicted.” “The fact that the defendant is a woman of refinement and of means, it seems to me, aggravates the case, marked Judge Salmon. ‘The three Justices then consulted with each other, Mrs. Evers sat biting upon re- tle other of the Justices, “1 am very sorry,” sald Justice Me- Inerny, who presided, “that it falls to my lot to sentence a woman Justice Salmon says, is one of refin ment, but the Court feels that you hay not been punished encu It seems in- credible that a woman of your refine- ment would be guilty ity ‘The sentence of the Court is that you be confined tn the penitentiary for a | term of three months, Mrs. Evers, of such ¢ Who arose as sentence Was pronounced, stood dazed, rocking on her feet and rng ah not seeming to quite gra sentence of theepourt. tottered and a Tombs attendant placed his arm about her and she was led to the fall PRISONER AIDS A WOMAN WHO FAINTED lis CAGC, For almost an hour bi was called Mra her case Evars sat in the # cage with two o rs—or Fannie Jacobs, eh 1 using her chiid as an aid in business |The other was Rose er, charged With petit larceny.
