There were sixteen "ladies'' and eight
dience this morning
Caterer Flynn's fried sausage, hot rolls
and coffee seem to timber up the tongues
of the females, for in prOclaiming their
innocence there was NO end to their ora
tory.
One of the first cases was that OF
Samuel Flynn, who was charged with
disorderly conduct by Officer Jack. After
being charged by the clerk Sam was asked
what he had to say. Before he could make
up his mind, however, the judge said:
"Five dollars fine"
This opened his mouth.
"Jedge, yo' sho' make a mistake dis
time.''
"well, come along and tell me what you
have to say
Sam stepped up and explained to the
Judge that he had talked loud and used
bad language, and as that was what he
was arrested for 1t cost him the fine.
Then three big policemen tried TO have
three co.ored boys sent up for vagrancy.
They were in the habit of loafing around
poolroom in South Washington, but the
JuuRt hutW Ouiy "a Il 10 p" tbot "puAu h'io
them for Ioafing around a "tippling room. +"
. "I can't hold these men for loafing in
poolroom. A poolroom is loafing
place, and If the proprietor doesn't OBJ
ject, why should I?''

Policeman Yetton, who was looking
out for the morals of the old veterans at
the Soldiers Home, picked up two COL
ored omen who, he claimed, waited
around for the old men On pension day to
get their money, by fair means or foul.
LAWYER Sillcrs, who said he did not ap-
pear for these women, argued, however,
with the Judge about the rule he had laid
down in regard to having the character
of vagrants exposed.
Lawyer Sillers tried to show his Honor
that he was wrong I'm his ruling, but Judge
Kimball didn't see it that way. Officer
Lawrenceson swore that he arrested these
same women two years ago.

men doing anything wrong?" said Mr.. Sill
lers.

you suspicioned that they were going
to do something wrong?"
"Yes, sir; l was told that they said
they were going out for some fun"

convicted on such testimony, every wo-
man and child who walks through those
woods are open to insult from these police
men,

the Judge leniently.
The next in line was little out OF the
ordinary, and a sorrowful, wretched case
Three little children, half-dressed and
half-starved, were brought In by an officer
to be turned over TO the board of guar
dians.
Their mother draws pension OF $40
