Treasurer of Booths Theatre, was charged
before Commissioner Davenport with
having violated the provisions of the
Civil Rights Bill, in refusing to sell a
ticket to VIM. r. Davis, q coiored man,
and MS such not entitled to a seat in the
theatre elsewhere than in n portion in
the upper part of the house set apart for
colored persons. At the time of Tillot-
sons arrest, his counsel claimed that he
had not violated the law, inasmuch as its
prohibition Of discrimination rs to color
did aot apply to theatres which were
managed simply as private business
speculationa, subject to such regulations
rs to admission rs their proprietors
might deem proper to impose. Tillotson
waived an examination and gave bnil to
await the action Of the United States

several times, but fnilcd to impress the
