living with an aunt. Mrs. Minnie De.

COURT THREATENS
A COLOREO WOMAN
Promises Jail Sentence II She
Does Not Produce the
Wits Child.
DENIES ALL KNOWLEDGE
LIZZIE MAYES GROWS INDIGNANT
OVER NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
ABOUT HER AND BLAMES THE
PROBATION OFFICER.

Unless Lizzie Mayes, a colored wo-
man living on South Sixth street in
forms Judge Fox of the circuit court
as to the whereabouts Of Korveba
Willis. five year old colored girl who
has been in her charge until recently,
by Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, she
will be sent to jail where she will re-
main until she consents to give the
desired Information. The Mayes wo-
man was told so in so many words by
Judge Fox and Sheriff Meredith this
morning when she appeared in court
to be witness In the case of the
state against the Willis girl. whom
Probation Officer Mrs. Elizabeth
Gambler recommends be turned over
to the care of the children's guard
ians.
OF the many prevaricators who have
appeared before Judge Fox, he be-
lieves the Mayes woman is one of the
most proficient. She not only con-
tradicted her own statements but
made statements which are known to
be untrue.
Ordered to Appear.
Mrs. Mayes had been instructed by
the court to appear in the juvenile
court this morning with Korveba
Willis, who has been under her charge
for some time. When the deputy
sheriff went after her this morning
she informed him that she would not
tell where the child was. She was
| accompanied by a friend and Deputy
| Sheriff Mashmeyer to the court house
| this morning.
According to her actions, when she
entered the court room it appeared
| that Mrs Gambler was in danger OF
bodily harm. She accused Mrs
Gambler of publishing yesterdays
story in this paper about her.. She
told Mrs. Gambler that she had nc
right to print such news and that she
would make her prove it.
When it was time for Lizzie to ap
pear before Judge Fox. he invited
her into his office where all juvenile
cases are tried. In brief she informed
the court, after much persuasion or
his part, that Rebecca Scott, of New
Castle, with none too good a reputa
ton, according to testimony intro
duced, had taken the child home will
her two months ago. She said sht
did not know where the child was o.
whether John Willis. the parent, had i
under his care. She said she coult
give no satisfactory explanation as t,
whether the father had his child O
not. because he moved so often tina
she could not keep track Of him.
