PADDY" GRIMES VISITS
Makes Repeated Trips to
South Chicago With View
of Locating There.

A visit to South Chicago yesterday
by Paddy" Grimes, Chicago's former
gambling king, has set the sporting
community to passing around the infor-
nation that he will locate in South Chi
Icago.
He was only in South Chicago yes
terday but a few hours but this is
his third visit to this section the past
few weeks and on every occasion, 1t is
said, inquiries were made as to a suit
able location in the hub of the Calumet
district for a similar resort to the one
he conducted at Cottage Grove avenue
and Sixty third street for years where
he prospered despite the interference
of the police.
This place was disposed of late last
fall and Paddy" retired and has since
taken life easy. Many of his friends
in South Chicago declared that he is
becoming restless and is anxious to
again embark in business.
He was unaccompanied yesterday
aside from his chauffeur who was driv-
ing car No. 1921. They swished around
South Chicago and among the places
visited were the South Chicago hotel
and Periods buffet. 9116 Commercial
avenue.

DOESN'T HAVE TO WORK
Negro Woman Stirs Up a
Sensation by Her
Declaration.

Mrs. Matte Pinn, negro woman
livinb at 7240 Wentworth avenue, has
piano fingers" and says she doesn't
have to work. Can you beat it? Mrs.
Pinn lives with her back yard adjoin-
ing that of Mrs. Fannie Turner Mrs.
Pinn does her washing on Mondays, and
Mrs Turner does hers on Tuesdays
There is but one clothes line. Hence
the various dates for the washing of
clothes.
Last Monday Mrs. Turner said, "Ah
believe Ah'n do ma washing on Mon
day."
On the same day Mrs. Pinn said, "Ah
believe you all WON'T.
So that night two stealthy forms
crept softly around the corners of the
two adjoining houses. Two knives, one
at each end of the line unaware of each
others presence. The ropes were cut al
both ends by the two women and in
the morning each had story to tel
about some one cutting the clothes line
This turned into wrangle in which
Mrs. Pinn had Mrs. Turner arrested.
What do you do for a living?" asked
Judge Bruggemeyer of Mrs. Pinn.

PLEADS WITH JUDGE
South Chicago Woman Ap.
peals to Judge Torrison
For Sympathy.

An unusual case which created quite
a little interest among those who were
seated in the court room occurred in
Judge Oscar Torrisons court yester-
day.
The case was that of John Cox, who
was arrested on a warrant sworn out
by Mrs. Lenora Hamilin. 165 Ninety
first street, who claimed that Cox owed
her $3.50.
Never offered to Pay.
Mrs. Hamlin testified that Cox had
never offered to pay her the money but
that she had found that he was worth
less and did not support his wife and
children one of whom a boy of II years
was in delicate health.
Mrs Cox stood up at the bar with
her husband and pleaded with Judge
Torrison to give him another chance.
She said he was not a bad man and
that she would work hard to pay the
money back if he was but given anoth-
er chance and not sent to house of cor
rection.
Tears came to her eyes as she told
how her husband had been out of work
for the past ten months. HE is no
worse than other men who are out OF
work." said Mrs. Cox. GIVE him an
other chance and 1 will answer for his
conduct in the future"
Cox was released on parole and ii
was a happy couple that walked out
o. the court room. This is the first
case that has come up before Judge
Torrison in which a wife has pleaded
for her husband and the Judge being
a kind heaterd man thought that the
release of Cox would mean a great dea
to his wife and children.
