Parker Murder Jury Taken
 to See q Theatrical Performances

In the experience of the men who run the little show house Is about right.
 Judge Brown instructed the guardian angel to, keep the closest and strictest of surveiilance over the twelve jury men, and there 10 no doubt but that they were closely watched. for the eagle eye of the City Court bailin has become proverbial already.
 And the guardian angel marched his men back ito the court room after the show, tucked them into bed. and lock- cd them up for the night. Then he turned in himself. in a spot from which his eye could catch all that goes on' and felt contented at having done a good deed. He has proved that he loves all jurymen.

PROHIBITION CASE
J. s. CHILDs CHARGED WITH SALE
 or WHISKEY.
Street Tpx Cases and Petty Thievery Hearings are Feature of Tues- Aayss Police Court
 sFrOceedfnHg.

J. S.. Chiids was arraigned in the police court yesterday afternoon on the charge Of violating the prohibition law. It was charged that Richard Jordan. a negro, had purchased pint bottle of "Velvet Rose whiskey from Childs yesterday morning.
 Policemen Taylor and Ragland were riding in the vicinity of Court and Chambless Streets, when they espfed the negro Jordan. acting somewhat mysteriously. One of the policemen saw him put something in his bosom. and. under the impression. that he was trying to hide something. halted him. Their investigation revealed the bottle of whiskey. and when he stated he had secured 1t from Childs. the officers made the arrest. 14
 The case was not finished yesterday. because Of lack of witnesses. The defense of Childs was that he had merely given the whiskey to the me- gro. as he had presented a note from a white man asking for the delivery of a pint. He says that the author of the note had left the whiskey with his partner and 1t was because this partner was not in court that the case was held over until today.

Petty Thieves Held.


 As an echo of the roundup, of a band of young petty thieves. six negro boys appeared before Judge Baber yesterday afternoon. two of whom were wearing coats, tied about their bodies, to take the place of trousers, which had been taken from them. be- cause they had stolen the same. It was queer kind of sare, but under the circumstances 1t was thought best that there be some substitute for the missing wearing apparel.
 Charley Graten, Willie Brown and Herman Mccoy were the first three boys to come up before the ju1ge. Graten admitted having purloined three or four pairs of pants and suit from A local department store and impli- cated several companions. Willie Brown admitted he had helped him. 1 self to a pair of trousers. and Herman Mccoy made some denials, but was not believed, and, as 8 result. all were given six months sentences.
 l Az the court was nearing close an attorney stepped up to Prosecutor Smith and wanted to know when ms case was coming up. as he was tnere for the purpose of defending Wlhie Brown. one of tho boys. To his sur rprise. he learned that his client had already been sentenced and that ne had admitted his guilt on the stand |. The lawyer had written note say ing he would be present in the case. so although Brown said he was guilty. the sentence of six moaths was set aside and the case will ss heard again today, and that there was no direc' evidence against him. if he would nave | kent his mouth shut. The question viii come up today. as to whether or not the prosecution will be able to in- | troduce evidence to prove what Willie testified to on the stand. or whether this will hold against him.
 Jesse Mitchell, Major Pass and Prince Connolly, all negroes, were heard on a charge of receiving stolen goods. Connellys case was held over until today, while the other two boys were given sentences of sixty days.
