The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, May 17, 1906 MAE MULLEN was again discovered to be engaged in the "nefarious" traffic after the order from court to desist. County Attorney Wells went to Albia and laid the matter before the Judge. Monday, this action being taken after her plea of guilt in Justice Storie's court. The Judge held her in contempt but mittimus will not issue how she now in good faith ceases to dispense the contrabband (sic), which once more she promises to do. It is a knotty problem to deal with. She has five children and no means of support, and has engaged in this business for a livelihood, until it is said she is not what might be designated as an ornament in society -- drinking to excess herself and swearing like a pirate. It is to be hoped these remarks will not be construed as ungallent. Now if the socialogical expert will get his brain together and evolve some industrial system in Chariton whereby the ban may be raised and remunerative employment found fitted to those in MAE's condition he woul! d do society a real favor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 14, 2004 [email protected]
