All UNHoLY TERROR
The Black Devil of Alameda Street
and Her Victim

That Belle Williams, as black as the
proverbial ace of spades, is not tougher
is not Bellies fault. She is doing the
best she can in that line and is earning
the reputation of being the toughest and
most pugnacious individual in the Ala
media street cribs. She was in Justice
Morrison's court yesterday for the
s'teenth time and her appearance there
was the sequel to "hot time" in her
establishment three weeks ago. With
her appeared as co-defendant Laura
Robinson, a saddle-co harlot, who
was the victim of Bellies capacious fists
and enormous feet. In the trial the at
torneys fought out the case with much
the same vigor that Belle used In
whipping poor Laura.
The trouble all came about in this
wise: Belle had some lady" visitors in
her crib, when Laura entered and was
introduced. She ordered the drinks and
Belle pait for them. Laura was offered
a seat and refused it, saying Belle had
better keep her seat for herself. Then
Laura accused Belle of talking about her
and in the heat of the argument laid her
paw on Bellies neck Then the fun
began. Laura led with her right and left
but fell short. She landed again lightly
with her right and Belle walked up
What she did to Laura was 'a-plenty.'
She put both her eyes in mourning, cut
her lip, made her nose fiatter, Kicked
her in the stomach. threw her down,
jumped on her. kneeled on her, sat on
her. Tiring of these diversions she picked
her up bodily and SHE'D her into the
street. Poor Laura looked as if she had
been through threshing machine when
she struck the street and bounced almost
across it. So badly was she injured
that she had to go to a hospital, while
Belle showed not mark.
AT the trial the police who made the
arrests could tell but little about the
fight. They had heard the noise of the
encounter and had arrested both COM
batants. The story came out from the
harlots themselves. At one point in the
proceedings, ]. Marion Brooks, who rep
resented Laura, withdrew from the
court room taking his client with him.
all because he was not allowed to cross
examine Belle.
After an hours trial Judge Morrison
took the case under advisement and an
