POLICEMAN
ARRESTED
Two Young Girls Make
$ Horrible Charges Against
James Brady a Recent
Appointee.
SAY BE ENTICED THEM TO EVIL
Raid Upon a Maxwell Street
Disorderly House Brings
Out Tales of Fright
Depravity.

Policeman James Brady, of No. 43S
Montgomery street. who has been doing
for duty several months at the Gregory
street police station was arrested this
morning on complaint of Chief of Police
Benjamin Murphy and taken before Po-
lice Justice Higgins in the First Grimm
al Court this morning on very serious
charge which grew out of stories told by
fourteen-year-old- Ida Williams, of No.
399 Third street and Rosanna Fallon, the
thirteen-year-old daughter of the Fallon
woman who was recently held for the
Grand Jury for conducting a disorderly
house.
The Williams girl was arrested on
Wednesday night in raid upon dis
orderly house at No. 26 Maxwell street
which had been previously raided.
Wednesday nights raid was made on
complaint of the father of the Williams
girl who said he had reason to believe
that his daughter was enticed to the
house and was then an inmate of the
place. The girl was held yesterday morn
ing by Police Justice Higgins for the
care of c. B. Alexander probation officer.
The stories told by the girls reveals
condition of affairs that parallels many
incidents of the famous Red Light dis
closures in New York City. Mary GUM
neran who took the Fallon woman's
place was vest erday held for the Grand
Jury.
In the raid of ten days ago eight men
were taken. The only girls in the place
were the Williams girl, who then secured
her release by declaring that she went
there to look for her younger brother,
who had been playing with the Fallon
boy, and Rosina Fallon, thirteen years
old. Wednesday there were two men
and the Williams girl was alone in the
house save for the Gimeran woman, who
was i'll. Judge Higgins questioned the
girl as TO how she first come to enter the
place. She said a policeman named
Brady had induced her to go there. Chief
Murphy questioned the girl and secured
an accurate description of the man On
the information, substantiatea- by the
statement of the Fallen girl, who, with
out collusion with the Williams girl, cor
roborated her statement in every detail,
he caused the arrest of James Brady.
Brady, when arrested, declared that he
was innocent. He said that the girl was
able to describe him as he had been on
duty in the vicinity of her home. Brady
was held without bail. He is one of the
large number of men recently appointed
to the force as patrolmen of the third
grade.
Counsellor Archibold this afternoon Sc
cured an order for Brady to be admitted
to bail in 81 800.

The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1904-02-06

The joint committee of the house
and senate, appointed to agree and re,
port on a plan of redistricting the
circuit and ~chancery court districts Of
the State, held its first meeting last
week.
This committee Is composed of
twelve members from each body, Hon.
E. H. Moore being the chairman Of the
senate wing, and Hon. Clarence
Greayes chairman Of the house wing.
The committee will take under con.
sideration all bills introduced in the
two branches of the legislature pro.
posing formation of new court dis
tricts, and eldeavor to agree on a
complete new formation Of the chan
Gerry and circuit divisions.
By some members it is believed that
1t will be necessary to form at least
four new circuit court districts, max
ing a total of fifteen, and that not
less than three new chancery dis
tricts should be formed. The question
is one of the most important that will,
be brought before the legislature at
this session, and 1t is not likely that
the committee will be in readiness to
report its plan until the latter part OF
February.
1t is expected that nearly every cir
cult Judge and chancellor in the State
will appear before the committee dur
ing its sessions to give their ideas as
to what should be done In the mat
ter.

to the decision of the United States
