Mrs. Dennett wrote the leaflet ten years ago for her own sous, because she could not find a suitable and instructive treatment of the sex question. Then she published and cireulated it at the request of the "Medical Review of Reviews." She was stunned by the verdict, which makes her subject to the maximum of five years' imprisonment and a 35,000 (£1.003) fine, or both.

Mrs. Dennett's attorney contend- ed that the conviction meant con- demning the "children of the next generation to getting their know- ledge of sex from the street." The prosecutar argued that Mra. Dennett could give her own children what they wanted, "but when she raised the kitchen window and called to the neighbours it was another matter." He insisted that a "pamphlet was like a razor in the hand of an adolescent."
Refusal to Pay Fine Mrs. Dennett, encouraged by the support of an outraged Press at the manner in which the trial was con- ducted and at the jury's, verdict. announced that she would not pay the fing, preferring imprisonment if the necessary. She said "It is Government that is in disgrace. not I."
