like this, and at once an argument
broke between the two women.
Again, as in the previous case,
neither woman explained what
the man in question was doing
while the argument was at its
height. A few blows were passed
between the two, but before any
real damage could be done, Off
Ger Butler arrived on the scene
and arreSed both women.
The officer told the court that
while both women offered little
resistance when he first arrested
them, jenkins was very easily
brought under control, but Bax-
ter became so violent in her ef-
forts to resist arrest and have her
own way, in spite of the police
orders that it was necessary to
handcuff her to an electric wire
post, in order to calm her down,
while awaiting the patrol wagon.
Both women admitted that the
man in question was he real rea-
son for i'll will between the two,
but even in court, Baxter was
still uncooperative. Judge Thomas
fined each $50 or 20 days in Jail.
This time, the "playboy" in ques-
ton was present in the court
room, but he did not come up to
the judges bench to testify. I'm
mediately after the fines w ere
levied the man came forward to
pay the fine of one of the women
- the other went to Jail.
The case of Larry Lee Wallace
and Ellis Davis, both of whom
were charged with petty larcency
with the property of Albert
Johnson, was probably the first
OF its kind in this court to be dis
posed of in the manner in which
it was handled. The charges in
this case involved sum of money
slightly in excess of $50. Judge
Thomas ruled that since the
amount of money involved was
more than $50, the charges should
have been grand larcency, instead
OF petty larceny, and therefore
the case should have been tried
in Criminal Court instead of
Municipal Court. Judge Thomas
did not try the case. He declared
1t nolle PROSE- and bounded the
defendants over to Criminal
Court.
