Never Again WEI She Buy Anything, She Tells Court,
Before Whom She Is Hailed Accused of
Purchasing Stolen Broom

Lizzie Harris. colored, now e an au-
thority on the law Of contracts, thanks
to some first hand tutoring from Judge
DeIsacy in the Juvenile Court.
In truth the information impaired
by the Judge yesterday was so peril
nent TO her case that she openly an
nounced before quitting the witness
stand that her knowledge of the law Of
contracts is now so complete. Never
again will anyone in all the wide world
be able to lead her into a contract that
is unlawful.
Lizzie had been brought TO the courl
charged with contributing TO the de-
Iinquency OF a chile" it being averTed
that she had purchased from at least
one cOlOred boy, small articles which
he in turn had borrowed without the
proper leave from storekeepers in the
Harris vicinity on w street.
Lizzie was most VOiuble upon the
stand She told her story with a glib
ness, and with an attention to detail
that marks the conversation of those
who spend much time IN the cultivation
of the art of baCk-fence small talk.
IL was this yere way, JedSe," said
Lizzie. Il was Settin' up stairs IN my
house one night when my little gal cum
