"When accused appeared on March 2, certain statements were made by her counsel on her behalf," said Mr. Kearney. "It was stated that she had to associate with women in the prison who were suffering from venereal disease, and use the same sanitary facilities. The superintendent of the gaol, Mr. W. T. Leggett, has asked me to state that when accused was admitted to the prison she was placed in the hospital, because she was suffering from nervous strain. Two other women of cleanly habits were with her. Since March 7, she has been accommodated in a single room. There are two sets of sanitary facilities, one for the use of women suffering from venereal disease, and the other for the remaining women prisoners. Accused' was not compelled to use the first set." Counsel pointed out that steps to remedy the matters had been taken only after the complaint was made. Since then, however, circumstances had changed, and now he had no cause for complaint.
