Seven young women of the town
were arrested last evening on a charge
OF being common night walkers. They
gave their names as Jennie Chapman.
Daisy Lamont, Mrs Lillian Hayes.
Adila Longwell, Mrs Hattie Griswold,
Mrs Fannie Darling and Mary Par
tree, alias Babe. I'm the city court to-
day before Judge Peasley each denied
the accusation. The witnesses against
them were Detectives Dodds, Ken
naugh and Keegan, and Officers Stew
ems, Brickel and Moore. The evidence
was substantially the same in each
of the cases This was to the effect
that they have been seen on the
streets at all hours of night as we'll as
day
Some of them had different haunts
from the others. Some conducted
themselves fairly well on the streets,
others did not Some were more or
less addicted to drink. Others were
never seen with sign of it in their
behavior or gait.
In the opinion of some of the Off
GERS Griswold was the worst character
that ever lived within the community
of Waterbury. Hayes has been di-
vorced some years and is somewhat
more notorious than the others, not
withstanding her appearance lacks lit
tie of being angelic Darling has not
lived with her husband in some time
and Partree, the youngest, being only
II, according to her own statement,
figured in a sensational occurrence in
saloon on Grand street not later
than yesterday afternoon. An old
man claimed to have been robbed Of
SIS. Partree's statement on the wit
ness stand was that she was given
gold watch and the S. by the man,
and that she returned the gold watch
to the keeper of the saloon to be re-
turned to him.
A few nights ago Hayes and Long
well, seeing they We're seen by OFF,
Ger Moore on Grand street, played tag
with him, but he subsequently saw
them with two men in the Bank hotel.
The statute under which the cases
were instituted prevented sentence
more severe than commitment to the
workhouse being imposed and all ex-
cept Griswold were committed to
Brookside for ten days. She was
committed for thirty days, having
been before the court before on differ
ent occasions and complaints. 1t was
the initial appearance of the others.
After court was over it was found
that Partree was a minor. Judge
Peasley Immediately reconvened
court, appointed Attorney Hoiohan
her guardian ad htum. He waived
denomination, however, and the
sentence of ten days was reimposed.
