coLoRED CONSIDERATION IN COURT.
There il no doubt about il, Squire Elem.
ing's little courtroom down in the cellar
should be moved up on the earth and into
more spacious quarters. Yesterday morn.
ing there was not breathing, let alone
standing RON In Il, and the court had 10
have the skylighis raised In order 10 get
sniff OF fresh Beale street air. Women al
ways draw large crowds to court, and the
case which had summoned all this array OF
witnesses was that OF the complaint Of ono
good sister 81 the church against two 9TH
en-, presumably bad. All the parties are
members of the Baptist church, o. which
the Rev. Morgan, colored, Is pastor. The
complainant was Lizzie Williams, and the
objects OF her prosecution were Bette
Williams (no KIM and Lizzie Walker. II
seems that these two sisters have
brought some ugly charges against
Sister Williams. and would pre-
fer 10 see her ousted from the
fold Of the church. Not only have they
called her vile and abusive names, but
Sister Walker went 10 her house, shook
her fist Ia her face, and threatened 10 beat
the life out Of her the first chance she had.
Therefore Sister Williams, the afIiant,
wants them put under bond 10 keep the
peace. The pastor Of the church, and all
Of his congregation, numbering about 250,
were ON hand 20 swear pro and con. just
as the case was about 10 be called. Mr.. J.
G. Clinton, one Of the principal attorneys
In the casc-there were only six In all
received message that his aged mother
was dying, and In Difference TO his request,
the case was continued 10 Wednesday
next.
LIVING ~ HOURLY DREAD.
Mary Ellis, who Is big enough and
black enough 20 take care OF herself under
most any circumstances, appeared before
this court yesterday, and stated that she
was living In hourly dread OF great bodily
harm, II not even death, at the hands o.
Maggie Thompson, who had sworn cterna
vengeance against her, all on account Of q
man. Maggie was arrested and put under
bond 10 keep the peace.
