A FINE

A young downtown. drug clerk who
had heard the story of the colored wo.
man who had asked for fesh-colored
court plaster and was given black by the
observant dealer. stored the incident
away in his mental dust box and decid-
ed to use it at the first opportunity. He
had not long to wait, for a few nights
ago a comely colored girl stepped into
the store where he was employed. "Ah
wants some court plaster" she said.
'sWhat color?" inquired the clerk with
affected nonchalance.
"Flesh cullah. sah."
Trembling in his shoes and keeping
within easy reach of a heavy pestle, the
clerk handed the woman a box OF black
court plaster, n he was surprised at
the time that the situation afforded 80
little humor. The woman opened the box
with a elaboration that was ominous,

went to him from the police court on a
writ of certiorari, their contention being
and hat even hau it been, he was in

Virgins was arrested for smokiE

on West Front street. Upon appearing
for trial before Police Judge i ~ es, he
demanded a jury, the judge ho.u4ng that
he was not required or authorized to
grant a jury trial in his court. The mat
ter was taken to the district court where
Judge Woody held that as TIE crime with
which Virgins was charged under the
was also a crime under the
statutes, and t nat under the statutes the
defendant would be entitled to a jury trial
should he so elect, that he was also en-
titled, upo election, to a jury trial in the
police court. This decision leaves open
the question whether a jury trial shall
be granted in all cases where demanded,
and as the city officials held that no jury
trials are permissible in police courts,
the supreme court may be asked to de-
eide. In their contention they are sup
ported by part of the members of the
bar, but others support Judge Woody.
