call a man a liar, a scoundrel, a
villain or a thief, and no one
makes a complaint when court

to the fact that people believe

Maggie White, the negress arrested

surplus of money. will be warranted
here today for grand larceny.

by Marshal Charles McNutt on suspi
cion. and not hearing anything definite
from Paducah. released her. She came
here and was promptly arrested and
locked up to serve an unexpired sen.
tence on the chain gang.

men left Psducah the day Mr.. Will
liam Wheels lost a pocket book con.
tanning $255 and went to Mayfeld,
where the woman proceeded to buy
expensive wearing apparel.
When the woman was arrested her
male companions deserted her and

this afternoon and would swear out a
warrant against the woman. The po-
lice are in the meantime on the look
out for the two negroes who were
