Henry Kidd, a colored Jockey, who came
here two days ago, made mistake last
night in going to church instead of taking
a trip to Jackson City. He was filled with
bad liquor and had a pistol in his pocket
when he met friend and went with him
to a church on 9Th street Harry did not
go to sleep and snore, as did some others
who went to church in Georgetown few
nights ago, but there was something anus
ing about the service, and when he laughed
too loud policeman was called and he was
locked up. When the patrol box was
reached Harry was seen to put his hand in
his hip pocket and the officer relieved him
of a loaded pistol.
Where did you get the pistol?" Judge
Miller asked the prisoner.
Il brought it here with me from Baltf-

jockey replied, land I'm going away FRI

DIsoRDERLY HOUSES,

Keepers of Two of Them Fined by
Judge Miller Today.
When the police told Judge Miller this
morning that Cinnamon had been frequent
ing Louisa Worthington's house on Mary
land avenue Lawyer Darlington said he
did not care to raise diplomatic question
China, he said has all the trouble 1t can
look after just now. The officers said that
the house was also visited by Italians, and
the place has been the scene Of many fights
and disorderly gatherings. Counsel entered
plea of guilty to a charge of keeping
bawdy house, and asked that the court i'm
pose fine. Louisa told the court that she
came from Stafford county, Virginia, and
had lived in Baltimore nine years. Several
months ago she came here and has been
conducting this house, and now she is go
ing to give it up and enter some respectable
business. If she does not succeed In this
she will return to Baltimore.
During the discussion Of the case one of
the officers stated that it was their inten-
ton to rid Maryland avenue of all these
houses.
This particular house Is near LIST street.
and Mr.. Darlington made some remarks
about these houses being SO near the Capt.
toll.
Judge Miller imposed a fine of 800 or
sixty days, and informed the woman that
a repetition of the offense will mean
severe Jail sentence.
There was similar charge against Lucy
Clark, a colored woman, whose house is
on Maine avenue between Sd and AZ Streets
and Mr.. Shillington represented her. In
| making plea for the imposition of a small
fine he cited the case of woman named
Buchanan, who had been fined $50, and said
he thought this case merited nothing more
than that. The raid, he said, was made
because Of complaint made by a Pennsylva-
mia avenue saloonkeeper's wife, who had
been informed that her husband had fire.
quented the place. She Investigated the re-
port, and finding it untrue, had written a
letter explaining how she had been imposed
upon.
Judge Miller heard what Sergt Daley and
his officers had to say about the case, and
during the discussion it was said that
there are respectable families living in the
same square and they have been complain
ing of the conduct Of the women in the dis
reputable houses.
The court made few comments on the
case and imposed a fine similar to that Inn
posed in the other case.
