Charlotte, June 19—Three 18-year-old girls who appeared in police court Thursday accepted the transition light-heartedly when sentenced to 18 months in the Mecklenburg Industrial Home.
One girl was detained in the prisoners’ room, just off the courtroom, while the others were in a cell as they waited for the trial of their cases. From the cell of the girls, sweet melody floated into the courtroom, while the courtroom became quieter as those present listened.
