Harold J. Bandy, of Granite City, Ill., for appellant.
Henry G. Morris, Asst. U. S. Atty., of St. Louis, Mo. (Harry C. Blanton, U. S. Atty., of Sikeston, Mo., on the brief), for the United States.
Before STONE, WOODROUGH, and VAN VALKENBURGH, Circuit Judges.
The appellant, Helen Schrader, was convicted of conspiracy to violate the Mann Act June 25, 1910, 18 U.S.C.A. § 397 et seq., and also upon a separate (second) count which charged her and two young men with the substantive offense against that act of transporting and causing a girl to be transported in interstate commerce by means of an automobile from St. Louis, Missouri, to East St. Louis, Illinois, with the intent and for the purpose of inducing, enticing, and compelling the girl to give herself up to debauchery and to engage in other immoral practices.

Efforts were made by the appellant and the procurer to have the girl commence prostitution in the house then and there, and the money she would make on the terms of employment offered was dwelt on, but she declined. "So then (the girl testifies) the agreement was that if I wanted to hustle, I should come back that Friday, June 19th." "Helen (Schrader, appellant) looked at LeRoy (one of the co-defendants who was acting as procurer for the girl) and said `I guess she will be down next Friday.'" On the day specified, Friday, June 19th, the two young men transported the girl and her suitcase by automobile from her home in Missouri to appellant's house of prostitution in Illinois and there she engaged in prostitution on the terms of employment specified by appellant at the first interview "on...
