MRS. SPARKS IN TROUBLE
[Welland Tribune, 26 September 1912]
Mrs. Sparks, formerly of Welland and Port Colborne, was arrested Tuesday night by Chief Laing and Inspector Gunton of Toronto at Sherkston. Along with her a man named Everingham was arrested, and held as a witness. In police court yesterday she was charged with “unlawfully keeping a bawdy house” and leading a dissolute and depraved life. She pleaded not guilty, emphatically denying the charge. Everingham’s evidence was taken, flatly contradicting her statements. A young man named Albert Burton of Sherkston, who is now in jail, will also be a witness for the prosecution. The case was adjourned for a week and Mrs. Sparks was sent to jail on remand.
Her four children, who were absolutely neglected, were taken in charge by the Children’s Aid Society and sent to a shelter.
Mrs. Sparks’ husband has parted from her and is now employed about Welland. She is about 40 year of age and far from attractive.
