Sophie Turner. who charged Smith
Morris with, stealing her ring and
her heart.
u don't know; can't imagine
how IL could be-" answered the court.
Just what do you mean by that
question:"

Morris makes out he is single In
de night time en- married in de day
time. Wen he wants TO borrow nah
jswelry he is single. Wen All wants
IL back he IL married. en- afraid his
wife will find out about it."
II looked very much like Smith
had fooled Sophie. Because when she
first met him he posed as q single
man and monopolized her affections.
He borrowed her jewelry. He bor-
roWed her money. And when she
demanded il back he told her he
was afraid his wife would ind out
about it.
So here was a case OF larceny by
trickr q lowdown deceitful trick at
that.
Smith refused to give up the jew
elry until q cop grabbed him.
And so the court fixed his busi-

Those Dear Girls.
Dressing herself in q big hurry
last Thursday night Ella Bradford
met Barry Jackson at the corner
and the pair went TO a dance.
When the pair returned q police
man was waiting for Ella.
Cora Bennett had gone out and
got the cop. She accused Ella of
stealing her shirtwaist.
II was true that Ella had taken
the waist But she didn't really in|
tend TO steal it
when she went to dress she found
out that she had no clean waist TO
put on. She just naturally 'bor-
rowed" one from Cora who roomed
in the same house.
Barry offered 70 pay for the waist.
He was sure that his girl had no
intention OF wrongdoing
But Cora insisted that Ella be ar
rested. And she was.
| In court she had many witnesses
who swore that she was q good girl
and not thief.
The court could easily see that
there was something behind coras

However. the court couldn't see
IL that way. Elias personal bonds
were taken and she was released.
