Justice C. C. Dalton sentences Lucille Brown to a term at the closed institution after a narcotics user conviction. The ruling cites an unrepealed statute requiring women convicted of offenses other than murder robbery and arson be sent to the home. The decision follows no objection from the prosecutor, despite an attorney general opinion suggesting the state penitentiary could replace the home. The girl will be held at the county jail until notification of commitment arrives and the superior court is asked to review the matter.
