Mary Scolfield, have you ever been

was charged with having assaulted
Lillian Bevel, another Mobile street
woman.
mo Jedge, yo' honah, All hasn't.
Nevah has Mary Scolfield been in dis
or any other cot on any kind of a
charge
And so frank and open was Mary's
answer that the mayor was on the
verge of dismissing her, taking her
word in preference to that of Lillian,
the chief complainant.
Mr.. Mayah," Lillian said, as she
stepped forth. '."Will yo' let me speak
jes' one little word? Jes' one word,
dat's ALL"
The Mayor said yes. If she'd confine
herself to one word he guessed it
would be all right.
"Well, Mr.. Mayah," Lillian replied,
"de las time dis niggah woman was
in yo' eou't, her name was Mary Nc
Donald. She's done gone and got mar
ried since den. She's telln' de truf.
and den ag'in she amt tellin' de truf."
Sure enough, Mary Scolfield's name
had appeared on the police blotter just
this one time, but that of Mary Nc
Donald was frequent one. Mary
Scolfield was given $40 fine and
costs.
