Show m A SAD CASE. A Jailed Prottitnt Hoars of tha Death of liar Mother. Jennie Dopp is the police name of a young woman who is at present serving out a sentence sen-tence of twenty-five days' imprisonment in tbe city jail for prostitution. She, although young in years, is hardened in sin. and has played brief but disastrous engagements in all the large towns of the territory. When she appeared before Justice Gee Monday he was defiant and received her sentence with a laugh. Today she is in tears and apparently life has bo more charms for her. The well-springs of her heart are again open, and her cry now is for freedom and home, although it is now desolate and death wields his grim scepter there. For this morning a messenger arrived ar-rived from the home farm ia Morgan county with tbe news that her mother was dead, and that her last words breathed a prayer for the erring one. An effort is being made to have the mayor issue a pardon to the girl, and it is believed her prayer will not be in vain. |
