TRIES TO NUDGE HIS
WAY TO LIBERTY IN
POLICE COURT HERE

Frenchy Rowland-that's the way
he signed his name-tried to nudge
his way out of scrape in Rock Island
police court yesterday. He failed.
Frenchy is a negro who was arrest
ed at his rooming house on Eighth ave
nue. near Fourteenth street. Ella AL
len, a negro woman, complained that
Frenchy stepped over his rights as a
boarder by unceremoniously striking
her. Once she said he kicked her.
Frenchy was taken before Magis-
trate Smith and was presented with
a jury waiver and asked to sign it.
What's all this yere thing about,
Mister Court?" he asked.
Merely leave the case to me-" the
judge answered.
"Ah amt gonna sign no SIGH thing,
not for a minute. No. sab. Mister
Court. How's ah gonna know what
you alls gonna do wild me-" he asked.
Well, we won't monkey with you, -
the court said. losing his patience.
Wen Just try you on state charge
for assault and battery" Then he
asked the woman what Frenchy did.
one COIlUPuCeu 10 TeClIe the ueIdilS
Of the assault and how she was held
by the negro and struck in the mouth.
Frenchy nudged her as if to stop her
in the story He was called once. Then
she continued on again. FTenchy
nudged her again. Each time he
stopped her in her story. Four or five
times he nudged her and four or five
times he was interrupted by the mag
istrate.
Finally he agreed to sign the jury
waiver and he was tried on a city
warrant on a charge Of assault He
was fined $40 and costs.
viii you all stop at Mrs. Taylor's
and get my fine money!" Frenchy
asked the Allen woman, whose testi-
mony had caused the fine. She nodd-
ed her head affirmatively.
Then she started crying.
"Ill bet you love that niger" the
magistrate ventured.
"Uh huh. | don't love that man. He
strikes and hurts me. I'm just match
ely sorry" she wept, leaving the
