NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Texas
Guinan, dressed in black from head
to foot, faced Federal judge again
today.
She was one of the 1876 night club
hostesses, proprietors and attaches
summoned in the Governments S
ambitious drive to put prohibition
into effect in the city's after mid
night resorts.
Only about half of those indicted
appeared before Federal Judge
Isaac M. Meekins today.
The somber effect of Miss
Guinan'S costume, somewhat sug-
gestive of widowhood, disappeared
when her name was called and she
stepped up to the bench.
Complexion in Full Glory
AS she lifted her black veil, the
refulgent glory of the artistically
produced Guinan complexion was
revealed in all it's color.
How do you plead, guilty or not
guilty?" the clerk asked.
"Not guilty" replied Miss Gtlinan,
in low, businesS-like voice.
The first court scene in the Gov
ernment'S widely advertised Volstead
drama thus was shorn of the spec
tacular. Miss Guinans lip didn't
even curl, and she looked on the
imported North Carolina justice with
kindly eye.
The defendants are charged with
conspiracy to violate the Vo]stead
law and with maintaining a nuis-
ance under that law.
Helen Morgan Not in Court
At first Judge Meekins ordered
bench warrants Used for the 50-odd
defendants who failed to appear.
