Lizzie Goes to
Jail After
Rampage

Lizzie Lewis failed to appreci-
ate Judge Whitelaw's generosity
when he suspended six months
sentence yesterday for disturbing
the peace on condition that the
woman leave town Immediately.
Instead of leaving town, Lizzie
Immediately went ON the warpath
again and abused one of the wit
nesses who had been called into
court in connection with her case.
So mad was Lizzie, that she made
various threats against the safety
of the witness and it was necessary
to call the police.
There was no trial for Lizzie this
time, and she was taken to jail to
serve sin months sentence which
the court had previously suspended.
