DETECTIVES ARRESTED AT SALEM
And fined heavily by the Justice fol
unlawful CohabitatiOn.

There was a very interesting time in
Salem Thursday OF last week. That
morning number OF the liquor men
were arrested and given a
trial before the mayor. They were all
fined heavily on the evidence Of the
two Perkins detectives who were
broughtthere three weeks ago by the
crusaders. Then came the trial OF the
women Of the town which was post
poned from two weeks ago. The evil
dence In this case was furnished by
the detectives and was rich, rare and
racy. The women we're given nomi-
nal fine and costs and were turned
loose.
The sensational happening occurred
Wednesday night when the two de-
tectives we're arrested and arraigned
before the Justice on charge Of hav-
ing unlawfully cuhabited with the wo.
men Of the town. This trial was a
very rich one and the Justices court
was jammed to the doors. Only one
of the men was tried and he was given
$50 and costs The other one asked for
a fine and then the attorney for them
asked for an appeal and jury trial.
The crusaders have become very ac-
tive there again and are making con-
siderable trouble for the speakeasy
people 1t would have taken only a
leader Thursday for the crowd which
was at the Justices Office to have done
violence TO the two detectives.
