young woman I quithusdand: Last week Mrs. Edith Stevens, the 1 young woman who, it is charged, has x been associated with Anthony Cassese, tobacco merchant and fugitive from justice in recent bootlegging op- 1 erations between New York and the Bahama Islands, was acquitted in the < United States District Courfc, Brooklyn. Once more was instanced the i difficulty of convicting a woman hefore a New York jury. 1 She had undergone a severe cross- ; examination by Assistant Federal At torney Blue that kept her [for two i hours on the verge of tears. After more than two hours' deliberation the ( jury returned its verdict and heard : from' Judge Clvatfield: "Of^ course, > she deserves to he convicted." ; For the first time the girl showed I signs of the ordeal. She was so 1 apathetic during the trial that at I times her answers could not be uvaiUt k)iic OCCIIICU) nunvvgi ? IU ninu to cling to her illusions of the recent "wonders" of her past days with the wealthy Cassese, and never so much t as when the Prosecutor orally > stripped of much of their splendor i her stories of "beautiful" yachts < "lovely" hotels and "gorgeous" ap,*\rt- ( ments. : Weeps Over Accusation. g With difficulty she held herself in > check until Mr. Blue finally accused her of telephoning to Mrs. Cassese j and calling her a "big, fat slob." | Then she broke into' tears and sob- j bingly cried, "No, no, no!" Her attorney, Wallace E. J. Col- j lins in summing up read to the jury ( of young men a section of\the indict- ] ment, in which it was stated that i C.ussese, Bartolin and Mrs. Stevens | did unlawfully, willingly and know- ^ ingly conspire with each other to commit an offense against the United f States of America?to violate an act F commonly known as the Volstead act; to import into this country a large . quantity of liquor against the peace j and dignity of the United States." i "My God," he exclaimed, "why i should the guns of the United States | Government be turned against this g girl, Edith? This is one of the most i difficult cases it lias ever been my \ misfortune to present to a jury, for | there is no dispute between the wit- c . n i 1 / i i 1.1. nesses lor me uovei nment ana inose j for the defense." i Alleges Perjury. <c Mr. Collins then 7'ecited the evidence that had indicated collusion he- j tween Bartolin and Capt. Erickson, two Government witnesses, and Cas- ( sese, and referred to them as those | "whom the Government has so gra- , ciouslv permitted to withdraw from | the case." In attacking- the credibili- l ty of some of the witnesses he accused the Assistant United States Attorney of withholding testimony that, if presented, would have greatly aid- ? ed the defendant. ] "He has deliberately permitted two witnesses to commit perjury, and without even an apology," he added. Mr. Blue raked over the coals the .. girl's life with Cassese, "who, she | knew was a bootlegger, pure and simple," and spoke of her connection with a second boat, Edith, which had ' been owned by Cassese and captured < by Government agents. j "It is no pleasure for me to prose-1 u cute this young girl?, he said, "for it a is Cassese whom I hope soon to meet a and prosecute. We knew of this t woman's participation in the Edith d case, but there the Government was charitable, hoping that she had F loamed a lesson and would not get d mixed up in another such case. s Judge Calls Her "Side Issue." c "She knew of the indictment of v Cassese in that case and now we find her! again checking packages of liquor abroad the Ripple.

Gen- n tlemen, why should she not pay the k penalty?" \v Judge Chatfield charging briefly, it rehearsed the case and showed the jurymen what constituted a conspir- fi acy.

Charles L. Prosper, who used (ho mayor of Johnsonville roughly when I hp latter tried to dissuade him from a personal altercation with S. W. Young, of Olanta, candidate for the house of Representatives of the state, has decided to appeal? and Inis said to have made this decision upon advice of tlie Florence Mayor. Subsequent developments are sol forth in a letter from C. C. Cannon, of Johnsonville, attorney and prominent citizen of that section, in a letter to the Times as follows: Dear Sir: You will please allow space in your columns to make correction in report appearing- in the Times of August 7th in reference to trouble at th3 campaign meeting at Johnsonville on August 5th inst. The report conveys to the public the impression that Mr. C. l. Prosser of the Hanna section dominated the Town Court refusing to obey its man,1 ~ i u cites. After the trouble the council as- , sembled in special session to try Mr. Prosser and upon hearing the evidence sentenced him to pay a fine of $15.00 or serve so many days. Mr. Prosser verbally served notice of intention to appeal, giving as his reasons for not paying the fine that Mayor W* I?. Barringer of Florence advised him that council had no right to interfere with him. Mr. Prosser before leaving my i office, in which he was tried by council, was kind enough to deposit with council a bond for $200.00 pending his appeal. Thanking you to give space for this letter, I remain, Yours very truly, C. C. Cannon. o Playing it Safe.

According to the effect that in compliance with the ?ev^est of the S/i board Air Line railway, the Marion Iron Works sent some of its men to Floydale to repair a locomotive. While at work on the locomotive several automobiles containing strikers or strike sympathizers, arrived upon the scene and warn ed the men to cease work ami return to Marion, which they did. They reported the incident to Mr. McDufl'io, proprietor of the Iron Works, who promptly reported it to the railroad officials, stating tlvit his men could not resume work on the locomotive without protection. The Seaboard thereupon sent armed guards to r'loydale, and Mr. iMcDulVie's men returned to work under their protection. BEHIND TilK MIKUOKS. (Copyright, G. P. Putnam's Sons.)
