Other Cases.
Aside from the turf exchange IN ere
were nine other cases brought before
the grand jury. including both felonies
and misdemeanors. One interesting
feature was the Indictment OF Alice

titled that they lived in house Of
prostitution at the place conducted
by the Bradford woman. Although
there are countless numbers of such
places in Wheeling this is the first
case OF It's kind TO be aired before the
grand jury for a number OF years.
Dr. Pronty. colored. won a point
over the police department and a local
Justices court when the grand jury
returned a true bill against George
BREEDING charged with having assault
ed her on a street recently. When
brought before local justice the
case was postponed because OF lack
~ convicting evidence. IL Is said. but
II seems that there was sufficient evi-
dence TO warrant the grand Jury in
finding true bill on the same
charge. There were two counts
against the young man, one for at
robbery and the other as
turned a non-true bill.
Mrs. Elizabeth Jones. charged with
throwing acid upon Mrs. Chariot For
est. was returned true bill. The &C
cused woman Is still az large and
all efforts 20 disclose her hiding Mace
have failed. But should she be found
she will have a very serious charge
facing her.
Florence Walker. who committed
the same deed upon co-demimonde
in the segregated district was also re-
turned a true bill.
The following other cases were IN
tho findings Of the jury:
