| The qneerest looking prisoner ever con
fined at the First precinct station house i.
| Clarrisa Solomon. otherwise known as
Mother Solomon, who was arrested yes
tcrday evening by Detectives Sutton. Heian
and Lacey on suspicion Of keeping a
fence for stolen goods at her crazy
home, No 502 Fourtccntll street north
west. She was put into the big, bare
dodgers room this morning, so She could
get more heat. and all day she sat on one
corner OF the platform. huddlcd up and oc-
casionally shivering. although the room
was warm.
Her thin white hair, that STIR; Cycles loose
aud urkcrnpt down over her face and which
she pushes back with a fat dirty haEd
makes her look more than the sixty years
she claims. Age and dissipation have
spread film over her eyes aGd they are
red and watery.
NOT AN ATTRACTIVE DAME
Her features are heavy and dull. her
cheeks falsely puffed out. and her double
chin hangs down like the UNDERGONE of a
gobbler- Her mouth is wide and cavernous
and In her lower jaw five stra ggIing teeth,
white and cleaning. pro;rude beyond her
lips She is less than five feet high. of
comparatively enormous girth. and is the
same size from her shoulders to her hips
Partly covering and concealinG her gray
hair She wears black hood and where the
hood leaves off Il dirty, checked sha wi
begins. II is simply thrown over her Shout
ders and secured with a safety-pin A
dirty, gingliam apron, with dangling strings
covers the front OF her black skirt, and
big, wide and fiabby shoes complete the
picture.
Her dialect is indistinguishabie and in
describa bic. She speaks French and Ger
man, and in her efforts to talk English
effects n combination OF the two that is
snul-splitting- She frequently bursts into
tears. but as her eyes are always watery,
only 4 horrible facial contortion tells one
that she is weeping.
HER PULLING JARGoN.
''Bes a max Z stay" she Inoa ned half a
dozen times. Then she spoke in German ana
French. almost as bad as her English only
occasionally could she be understood. ,r
