HELOIN MOBILE
c. w. GARRETT, WHO WAS EN-
PLoYEp IN PENSACOLA, is
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY ON A
SERIOUS CHARGE.

c. W. Garrett who was a resident
of Pensacola up to within a few weeks
ago, being employed as a l1neman, Is
under arrest in Mobile on serious
charge, according to reports which
have been received here. Chief san
ders has received notification Of the
arrest, and in turn has notified the
Mobile police that Garrett is wanted
on charge in Selma. The Mobile
Item of recent date contained the FOL
lowing regarding Garrett:
Needing the advice of a woman who
found her in a room at a house in st.
Michael street, Nora Mobiles, IT years
of age, left the place and took up her
abode with c. w. Garrett, "a years OF
age, at a local hotel. where they regis
tered as man and wife.
Both are now in the city prison,
being held as dangerous and suspicious
characters. Garrett was picked up by
Detective Kennedy last night. He was
thought to be a person of the same
name wanted in Pensacola. Twenty
minutes later the Mobiles girl called
up the police station from a restaurant
to ascertain if Garrett was locked up.
She was also arrested.
Garrett came to Mobile several days
ago from Montgomery, where he was
formerly night clerk at hotel. Later
he was employed as mechan1cian at
the garage III THAT city Ile
met the Mobiles girl in boarding
houes there. She claims to be a di-
vorcee. Garrett came to Mobile and
sent for the girl to come here. He
furnished her with the address Of q
woman who operates a disorderiy
house. Upon arrival here she went
direct there and found Garrett waiting.
"On Bonded knees a woman inmate
of the house came to me and begged
me to leave there before it was too
late said the young woman, when
seen in her cell today. Il took her
advice ard fed from the place"
While this act Smacked of good res
oiutions, the Mobiles girl failed to profit
by advice. She continued her relations
with Garrett at the hotel and she adj
mitted that the man who claims that
he loves her, intends to marry her and
whom she says she loves better than
any other human being, had induced her
to accompany him to other places OF
Questionable character. where arrange
ments were made to communicate with
her in her room at the hotel.
In taking their departure from the
CaWthon hotel Garrett gave a draft on
a Montgomery concern for $25.25 TO
cover his Indebtedness at the hotel.
This morning the hotel people were
advised that the draft was unauthor-
lied and that they knew no such per-
son as Garrett. Garrett declares he
gave the draft in good faith.
The woman in the case claims to re-
side in Meridian. Before marriage
she mas Nora Holder and she said that
her gray haired father and mother
reside in that city. Two brothers are
also there
Il am going back home if 1 get clear
of this" exclaimed the young woman.
1T certainly has been a lesson to me"
Whether her resolution is an honest
one or is a "stall,' the police are un
able to predict, but they are inclined
to believe that the woman is not sin
Cere.
In the meantime Garrett declares his
undying love for the little woman,
while she, in return, in spite of his
actions says she will marry him in
Meridian If given the opportunity.
This Jail episode does not alter my
love for her-I care for her even more, IS
Sobs Garrett.
He is the one man of my lffe-I
shall stand by him. walls Mrs. MOBILES.
