The Mine part . New prisoners arrive.

Two days before Christmas, an accident occured in the coal mine. Accidents happened frequently, but this time a large part of the ceiling had caved in, and not less than 30 slaves had lost their lives. This was nearly one tenth of the number of forced labors working there. The order, the sheriff in the small town received from the governor, was clear: "It is winter and the prices on coal are high. Production must be kept up! " The sheriff knew this ment an bussy Christmass for him and his men. Thirty new slaves had to be provided to the mine in only a few days. He started making some telephone calls to the prison farms. They replied, they had rented the most of their prisoners out for the whole winter, to do road repairing works . Because of that, they could only spare ten girls, which they promissed, would be send to the mine at once! Then he phoned the brothel - The owner told him, that of cause she would help, and promissed him, she would make 2 of her girls ready for him to pick up at her place! That ment he would have to arrest 18 free women and have them sentenced before new year!!! After having send some of his men to the local hotels, to see if any females traveling alone were available there, he leaned back in his chair at the sheriffs office, and looked through his files. Who´s daughters could he arrest without problems? "Let´s see - Mr. Banks! His daughter, Helen is a strong and healthy girl. He has been seen at the brothel some times durring the last year. I don´t think, he will like his wife to know!"
