Birdie Aldrtch cut James Smith with
razor shortly after noon yesterday in the
Wollstein building at 261s N street. James
Smith is a rather well developed specimen
of African humanity and has been paying
court to Birdie Aldrich's sister until a
day or two ago he became enraged at his
lady love and is said to have abused her
and to have cut up all the Sunday clothes
which were the pride OF the girls heart.
Not content. he pursued her to the home of
Birdie Aldrich where, according TO the lat
ter. he began an assault on the girl, which
enraged the said Birdie until she secured
her handy and effective razor and cut
Smiths back from the top of the right
shoulder TO his left hip. She declared
afterward that Smith was trying at the
same time TO use his own razor. Both
were arrested.
