NEGROES NABBED AS
FOOTPAD SUSPECTS

Detectives Smith and Richardson
arrested Charles Williams, "a years
old, of No. 1919 Macomb-st., and Ernest
Little, 81, of No. 16 Catherine-st., Fri
day, on suspicion Of being the Negro
bandits who have perpetrated several
bold street holdups. each night. for
several weeks, and the fact that not
a single robbery by the long-sought
pair Of Negroes was reported, Satur-
day morning, leads the police to be-
leve that the men are good captures.

sharp Coon" the detectives assert,
and Little is called Sharper" by his
intimates.
Little was recently hailed to the re-
corders court as disorderly person,
under the lettering act, and at that
time the detectives asserted they had
information that he was robbing
white men on the streets, or else
leading them to Negro resorts, to be
robbed.

Mrs. Boussie at that time.
DR.. w. l. Babcock, superintendent
OF Grace hospital, where Mrs. Boussie
died, last Saturday morning. explained
TO the jury that the long delay In re
porting the case to the coroner was
due to misunderstanding on the part
of new clerk in the hospital.
He was told to report the Boussie
case" said DR.. Babcock. "but. instead.
he reported another one"
While DR.. Babcock was called pri-
marily for the purpose OF giving the
reason for the hardness in reporting,
counsel for DR.. Judson asked ques-
lions with view to showing that Mrs
Boussie's condition might have been
caused by an act of her own. DR..
Babcock admitted that this would be
possible.
The jury. besides finding DR.. Judson
responsible for the death of Mrs.
Boussie, incorporated In its verdict, a
clause recommending that the author
