I ‘Slick as Grease” Say
I Court Onlookers
Lucy Carolan, a native woman, was
\ arrested last Monday on a compiaint
sworn to by the Right Venerable Arch
deacon Hudson Stuck, charging her
twith giving Annie, another native, in
to Aicants. Within the hour Lucy was
tried, found guilty and sentenced to six
months’ imprisonment in the federal
jzoo. The deacon, with the high sound- j
ing title acted as prosecuting attorney.
It is claimed by John Minook, father
of the woman, that she wTas practically
kidnapped, and did not have a fair trial;
|:hat advantage was taken of her ignor
ance and inability to understand the
language of the court, to deprive her
If the advice of counsel and a trial by
jury. One of the few onlookers at the
alleged trial when asked about the pro
ceedings stated that he could not make
Head or tail of it, but everything went
along 4‘as slick as grease.”
G. A. Salisbury has been retained by
John Minook to file an appeal and se
cure the release of the woman under
ponds. The latter were first placed at
B400 and later raised to $1,000. It has
peen claimed by those close to the ad
ministration that any effort to secure
the release of the unfortunate will be
itubbomly opposed by the local officials
[nd that any person who offers himself
is a bondsman will be made to feel the
ull brunt of official displeasure in the
uture.
