,aoe warrant was issued on Wednes-
dav was heard, yesterday, and some
varv peculiar testimony was elected.
Mo}lie was bound over in the sum of |
500, to appear at the next term of
the Common Pleas Court, which |
meets in April. The whole case was
a very peculiar one, and the green
eyed monster, jealousy, was the
cause of the action being brought.
We gave, yesterday, a short synopsis
OF the points in the ease, and stated
that MOlle had sworn vengeance
AGAINST respectable young lady, be-
cause she kept company with young
man who had formerly been on tern
/ IF intimacy with her. We also stated
that the young man had paid her
| 800. on consideration that she would
| never modest him again. There was
one item that we failed, to state, how
ever. and that was that when the
agreement was made il was announced
by the young man that he, from that
time and henceforth, rtnOunced the
company that lie had been associating
with, aud declared lie never again
would have anything to do with
women of similar character. We
have withheld the names of the young
gentleman and lady, because they are
both respectable, but this case should
be warning to all young men to be
careful what kind of company they
keep.
Mollie Brown is the keeper Of a
bagnio in the lower part of town, and
had become jealous of the lady who
sued the peace warrant against her,
threatening to take vengeance against
her, Notwithstanding the agreement
She had sigue1 Mollie Brown is said
to be a woman who is perfectly reck-
less when excited. and the plaintiff
felt compelled to cali in the strong
arm Of the law to protect her, not
withstanding the disagreeable pub
lefty attaching to matters OF this
kind when brought into the courts.
There is another thing that's shown
in this case, and that is the boldness
aud power of the prostitutes in this
city. No person Is safe from theil
vile SANDERS, insinuations and threats
Women Of this class are said to be {
necessary evil" aud we are forced
to admit that the facts seem to war
rant such a conclusion. But respect
able people should be protected, ant
the thing has gone far enough. The,
do as they please in Evansville, ant
| for some reason or other, are permit
ted to carry on at pleasure. There !
city ordinance against bawdy hOus
dances, and penalty attached for
violation of the same, yet we hav
been informed. by those whe know
that not only have such dances bee
permitted, but that certain Of tn
police in this city have been present
aud even went so far as to dane
themselves, without attempting t
stop such proceedings or to arrest th
guilty parties, as the law directs the
should do. Bawdy houses arc toleI
ated in the most respectable neigh
borhoods and almost in the centri
st part of the city. There is no effort ;
concealment, aud many times rt
- spectacle ladies have had to turn oil
OF their way and go on other stree
I'd in order to avoid being insu,ted
passing by.
- Another case was tried before tt
Recorder yesterday, in which tn
same Mollie Brown was the defenC
ent charged with insulting aud usir
rd obscene aad vulgar language to son
l. respectable ladies, and for no 9TH
IN reason than that they were summon
y ed to appear in Court as witness
against her. We are not speaking
Mollie Brown alone in this articI
but of the denai monde at large. "
:, do not charge her as being the Oh
one Of her class that has been engag,
in such transactions, for every on
and while similar cases are broug
d. before the Police Courts for settl
he ment. We want the police to do the
nd duty, aud see that respectable Poop
I'VE are not insulted by women OF {
town" We know. and admit, that t
nd life Of a prostitute must be a ha
one; they are cried down by sOciet
nd because they are out of the pale of
on that is virtuous and pure, but tn
ok, are generally reprehensible for I
ION position they occupy. Sometim
their fall is brought about by
most devilsh and Infamous meaI
but no matter how this fall is
ar eompIished, when once down, IL
: should know their place, and
= seek to drag pure and virtue
people down to level with the
nth selves. They have sowed the Wi
Fri and shall reap the whirlwind."
Let the city ordina mes be eDfor'
in regard to this class of people, {
God let respectable people be protected
