Hoelscher, of Wayne Circuit court. were told by the girl that she and another girl were picked up by the man and two youths late on the night of May 28 at Eighth and Main streets and taken into Ohio to a tavern. They returned home and her girl companion was let out of the. car, She said she was not taken home but was driven back into Ohio against her will where all three attacked her. Later she said she did not know for certain where the attack took place, but thought it was about three miles south of the city along the Boston pike, in Indiana.

If the attack did occur in Ohio, and the facts are not clear, then a charge of violation of the Mann act, a federal statute, would be in order. This means to transport a girl or woman across a state line for immoral purposes. Federal officers should act in this instance. The prosecutor was asked if Rodeffer should not have been prosecuted for having contributed to the delinquency of the two 17-year-old youths. Robbins answered that he and the judge had discussed such a procedure but felt that a 1- to 10-year suspended sentence would do more to keep Rodeffer from repeating such a crime than the serving of a comparatively light term.
