Once Defiant Band of Female

Peaceful Matrons.
VICTIM HYSTERICAL IN COURT
Unsavory Hints Against Her De
nounced by Prosecutor, Who
Finds No Excuse for Riot.
WAl’KKlJAN, ILL. Dec. 13.—
Women vigilant*** In Lake County
have put an end to their rall-rldlng
and charivari parties. There is no
more talk of lawless festivities. It
is a very much-subdued hand of worn.
* n who only last week stood on trial
for dropping Mrs. Minnie Richardson
from her crippled husband’s porch in
Volo and riding her on a rail, and who
laughed their defiance at the court.
All of them found guilty, they re
turned home chastened In spirit.
"Captain” Krnma Stadfleld, who ad
mitted having led the party of rioters
to the Richardson house, declared in
court:
'People do anything they want In
Volo! There la no law nor order
there."
“Captain” Emma Stadfleld now la
the mildest of the quiet women.
There were «dx of them altogether,
Hnd five were found guilty of rioting.
Four of the live were gray-hatred
grandmothers and the fifth was a ma
tron of mature years. Altogether, the
ise was most extraordinary.
Clatter Tin Pans.
It began when the six women, an-
fc<red at Mi*. Richardson because of
her alleged behavior toward their
husbands, dragged her from the porch i
of her homo, where she sat with Mr.
Richardson, and rode her on o rail,
banging and clattering tin pans in ac
companiment. They were arrested on
Mrs. Richardson’s complaint.
In court the women defendants of
fered as their Justification the state
ment that Mrs. Richardson really en
joyed the party, and that she suf
fered no ill effects from her rail ride.
But Mrs. Richardson in court ap
peared to be a greatly overwrougnt
and mournful person, and became
joyfully hysterical when the verdict of
the jury ws announced finding her
enemies guilty.
The lawyer for the defense of the
women rioters, dropping many un
savory hints and referring vaguely to
the unwritten law, endeavored to sug
gest charges reflecting on the char
acter of Mrs. Richardson. But the
jury was not impressed. . State’s At
torney !>ad\ made a more forceful
argument.
Gray Hairs No Excuse.
"The question is not one of char
acter,’’ he said. “It is whether Lake
t'ounty shall permit rioting in its bor
ders and not punish it. You should
have no compassion on these Hotels
fur their gray hairs.”
The four grandmother* were bitter
ly indignant at their conviction. They
began to mutter among themselves
and to glare with rage at Mr. afcd Mrs.
Richardson embracing. “Captain”
Kmrna Stadfleld even broke into
speech, denouncing the verdict as an
outrage, and starting a tirade against
the Richardsons, stamping up and
down the small courtroom until stern
ly called » order.
Rut now. back at Volo. Mrs. Stnd-
fleld is a meeker, milder person. The
other* convicted were Mrs Mary Sa
hel, Mrs. Ann Stadfleld, Mrs. Alma
Walton and Mrs, Levina Raymond.

AS JUDGE
FEDERAL EBIT
Modest Portland Stenographer
Does Duty as Special Exam
iner and Tours Country.
( HICAGO. Deo. 12 -Mary E. Hell
is special examiner In a proceeding
initiated by the independent tele
phone interest* of the Pacific Coas'
against the American Telephone anc
Telegraph Company on a charge of
violating the Sherman anti-trust law.
She is the only woman special exam
iner in this country.
In this case Miss Bell takes the
place of a Judge of the Cnited States
District Court of Oregon, Robert S.
Bean.
To be sure, she i* not invested with
the dignity derived from an appoint
ment by the President of the United
State* and .a confirmation by the,
Senate, but she presides at these
hearing*, opens and adjourns court
and In general perform* all the func
tions except loose which would bt
called strictly Judicial.
An effort was put forth by an In*
terviewer to make Miss Bell “fee!
big,” but it was to the last deg fee un
successful. **It is ridiculous to con-
! sid-er tills matter one of any import-
| anee,” she replied.
This, however, is far and away the
most important case that wan ever
; prosecuted under such condition*, and
j Mis* Bell is equal to the occasion.
She has already taxm testimony In
San Francisco, Tacoma, Seattle, Spo
kane Butte and Denver, and when
the case is completed in this city,
w hich will be In a few day*, she will
proceed to New York on a similar
mission and possibly to other cities.
And wherever Miss Bell goe* she will
be supreme in the courtroom, but by
no means a tyrant.
