FIND COLORED GIRL
HIDING IN CLOSET OF
PURKRABEK HOME
Says She Was Trying To Escape From
Some One Who Was Chasing
Her. Pays $40 Fine

When Viola Brown, a young negress,
was discovered hiding in a closet on
the upper floor of the Purkrabek
home, Shaw and Second streets, yes
terday evening she said she was being
chased by some one and had run into
the house TO escape.
Mrs. Vincent Purkrabek, who heard
stealthy footsteps up stairs shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock, and whose investiga-
ton revealed the woman hiding in the
closet, didn't feel convinced by the
story the woman told and summoned
the police. officer Lowman responded
and proved to be equally skeptical, and
took the woman to the station house.
Judge Welch couldn't see his way
clear either when it came to accepting
the woman's explanation of her pres
ence in strange house, so assessed a
fine of $40 and costs, totaling $1I75,
which the woman paid. She was
charged with trespassing upon the
Purkrabek premises, there being no
other charge upon which she could be
held under the evidence.
The police say that the woman could
easily have escaped to her own home
which is but short distance from the
Purkrabek home, in case she was try
ing tosescape from some one.
