ON WAY To JAIL
Idle Negroes Enjoy Prospect of Liv

Work or Worry.

Justice Crutchheld yesterday had
the hardest days worN In his long
and interesting career as Police
Justice. for he had considerably more
than 100 cases before him, most of
them being members of the two
gangs OF vicious loafers rounded mp
by the police in both districts early
Sunday morning To the worst ne
gave sentences OF thirty days in Jail;
TO the others he gave ten-day sen
fences.
The gang was not removed from
the cells in the courtroom TO the
City Jail until after 3 o'clock. While
they were waiting TO be carted away
they passed the time by singing, their
songs being heard by city employees
on the fourth floor Of the City Hall.
The negroes seemed not TO mind
their situation. They will be just as
happy in Jail as on the streets, and
three good meals a day will be their
portion.
1T would be better and consider

official IF they could be sent to
work on the roads. They don't mind
being locked up for a short term.
They are relieved of all responsible

Justice Crutchfield said:
