it seems a whit, gentleman (name un.
known), with taste for dark-browr
meat, followed one of Mr.. Jollnson's
all-too-willing slaves, one Pearl Grit
fin, home from out in the street, hel
home being Mr.. Johnson's, said t.
have admitted "house of i'll fame
at 1907 Washington avenue South
At the time of admittance to the
said house of i'll fame, the white
gentleman had on his person the tidy
sum of SIS, possibly P. w. A. wages
after a round of drinks and bit OF
tight interracial petting," the white
gentleman Evoke up" all of a sud.
den to find that he was missing, be.
sides the said SIS, his truss and con-
fidence in what appeared to be a
gentle brown-sEin maiden. This SO
upset his race pride that he rushed
forth into the street, and with great
gusto called in loud voice for the
gendarmes to return his fifteen
"bucks" and his race pride, he
couldn't very we'll ask them to re-
turn his lost confidence. so that went
by the boards.
In the interim. back at the house
of ill-fame the master of Sinister
House" had snatched her ill-gotten
gains away from his slave. muttering
you'd only squander this in some
dime store. You can keep everything
else you got from him. Meaning
possibly his confidence, and his race
pride.
But when the "Bulls" raped on
the door with a might stick" the
fifteen bucks suddenly got "hot,"
and to relieve himself of incriminat-
ing evidence, Johnson threw the
money quickly on a nearby table and
let the "cops" in, who quickly
grabbed the dough-" then Crushed
in the crib" and called the wagon. In
the city Jail that night it is said that
johnson signed statement to the
effect that the woman Pearl Griffin
robbed the white gentleman, also that
he had been trying to break her from
the habit of robbing men, but she had
gone on robbing men in spite of all
he could do to stop her Gall right,
then, let's all laugh together).
So the slave got the works to the
tune of the usual ninety" not know
ing that her late lord and master had

At his trial day or so later on
a "vag" charge, Judge Carroll asked
of his attorney if it might be per-
lnitted, the court to look at the
transcript of the Griffin woman's
case, which is customary when two
cases are in abstract to one another.
lis Honor's request was granted and
the transcript brought into court.
After looking at the transcript, Judge
Carroll set the case back another
day until the Griffin woman could
be brought from the workhouse to
testify in the case. When the Grit
fin woman found out that her late
lord and master had thrown her to
the "ions," she opened up the carpet
sweeper, nut, bolt and dirt bag, with
the result that Six Sordid Goats make
the front pages Of the local dailies
look like the outbreak of another
war. The city of Minneapolis gets the
best house cleaning it has had since
st. Anthony named the falls, but at
his time we are not able to say with
any degree or truth as to if the
white gentleman "got his fifteen
bucks end his race pride back or
not"
In connection with this case it is
said that the much front PACED Ben
Wilson is being brought back from
