Order always held itself out as en-

and as open only to members OF the

there was much imitation, but this IS

WHITE LADIES TESTIFY

..tsssSfs.sa~,s---ssls,s -
The case Of Rose Leigh Anderson,
1909 North First Street, attracted
much attention. She was charged
with stealing a dress, valued at slo,
from the Kaufman Co. -
No representative of the company
appeared and the case went over;
but two white ladies, for whom Rose
had worked, testified as to her good
character. One of them stated that
she had known her ever since she
was born. The one with whom she
stays now said that she was abso-
lutely honest, had no need to steal,
as she was saving and had money
when arrested. A white gentleman
who accompanied the ladies was
equally as positive. They told Judge
Haddon that they would return to
appear in her behalf at any time.
Their testimony created a profound
impression.
