CHIVALRY LIVES!
YOUNG MAN PAYS BIG FINE TO RELEASE WOMAN United I*. A. — By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 11.5 a.m. LONDON, Wed. rRANK VOSPER, a young Lon--1 don playwright, has paid Mrs. Pithers’s fine of £SO for the false registration of a baby, and she has been released from Holloway after three days’ imprisonment. Vosper explains his action was a protest against a law which says, “You are imprisoned if you are not rich enough to pay.” “It is wicked,” he said, “to make the punishment fit the crime only in relation to a person’s financial position.”
