days in jail. Sentimentalists
were aroused, especially when
it was learned that the offend-
er was the mother of ten chil-
dren.
There were some who blamed
the Eighteenth Amendment for
her plight. Others were, no
doubt, amazed at the drastic
action of the jury (composed
of eight men and four women),
which deliberated but thirteen
minutes on the afternoon of
December 31 and found the de-
fedant guilty of being a “habi-
tual criminal.” Thus, under
the new criminal code of the
state of Michigan, a life sen-
tence was found mandatory and
Judge Charles B. Collingwood
immediately pronounced it.
Let us look further into this
case. Mrs. Etta Mae Miller,
who had brought ten children
into the world, but four of
Fwhom are living, was charged
’with breaking the prohibition
Jaw on three occasions previous
to her final conviction. Her
husband is serving a two-year
term in prison at the present
writing. According to her rec-
ord, Mrs. Miller served time in
1923, 1925 and 1927. For her
, - previous offenses she was ac-
through these parts, espe- corded lenient judicial treat-
cially east and south of the city nient—and this fact might have
i these days might be constrained prompted her to continue a ca-
reer of lawlessness. It seems
that she did not profit by her
former illegal experiences nor
was she apparently cognizant
of her moral duty either tp her
children as a mother or
state as a citizen. It
therefore, the sense o
court that this woman i
