pretenses From the evidence ELECTED at
the hearing it appears that Logan was the
promoter of a colored theatrical troupe,
from Washington. known as the Happy
Days in Dixie, which was to have given a
performance at the opera house under the
auspices Of a colored organization known
as the "Minutemen,' Thursday night last,
and when the time came for the curtain to
rise the performers made hasty retreat
from the play house and in a few minutes
thereafter there were q number clamoring
for their admission fees. Judge Cation de-
cided that Logan had not obtained any
money under false pretenses and that he
was simply guilty of breach of contract,
and accordingly dismissed the case and in
formed the officers of the club that they
could, if they wanted. take civil action
against Logan for breach of contract.
Logan was represented by Attorney Robin
son Moncure.
