mood all morning and imagined
that she would be released within a
few hours and that would end 1t.
She seemed genuinely sorry that the
affair had occurred, however, and
cried, f'81y God; why did 1 ever

Hamrick, while sometimes par
ly rational was unable to make a
logical statement, but is alleged to
have said to Officer White before
his removal to the institution that
it was an accident. Miss Layman's
cheerful attitude in this respect
would in a measure bear out this
theory.
When Mayor Harmer became IN
formed of the happenings at the
Vincent hotel this morning he con-
cluded that things were not all right
with the hosiery and he issued war
rants for all the women therein.
Chief Scott, Officers White, WHITE
and Brooks went over and served the
papers on Vincent, Gladys Davis
son. who claims her proper name is
Mrs. Simmons, and Emma Butler.
Vincent claimed that Gladys, al
though she formerly conducted a
house on Cain street, was most
chaste woman since her residence at
his house some six months since.
Miss Butler said that she was
broke when she went to the Vincent
house and offered to work for her
board as all the means of earning a
livelihood she had was to play for
dances twice a week.
The Layman girl and Emma
Green were also brought over to
answer to the charge of lettering.
Both pleaded not guilty and Nora
Layman claimed that she was legal
ly married to Milt HaNrick and
could show certificate.
The mayor sent the two Edtter to
Jail for thirty days and fined them
twenty dollars each for assembling
for the purpose of prostitution. If
the Layman girl exhibits her certi-
ficate she will be released as far as
the city is concerned.
James F. Vincent, the proprietor,
was also given the same sentence
but he had an attorney and Will
likely appeal.
