A HOUSE DIVIDED

BY William Henry Huff for AMP
This story's been so often told
Till it is looked upon as old
AS that old Bible on the shelf,
But still we hear on every hand
That it just simply cannot stand
The house divided 'gainst itself.
It cannot stand.
1t cannot stand.
Whoever thinks it will not fall
Needs to reflect and to recall
What history sacred and profane
Has from the dawn of writing age
Recorded on its lasting page,
Mid tear and Oft with crimson
Staini
Twill surely fall.
Twill surely fall.
United every house must be,
In truth and sincerity;
Such union must be more than
form.
If harmony the house would win
The pilots must be those within;
Outsiders usher in the storm.
Avoid the storm.
Avoid the storm.
A. house divided cannot stand,
For it is built on sinking sand,
And it must crack and give away.
The wind will come and blow 1t
down
And rain will fall to drench and
drown;
A house divided does not pay.
1t does not pay.
It does not pay.

Robinson. Both of these people
are well beyond middle age. TeS-
timony during the trial disclosed
the fact that it was another one
of those cases" in which one Wo-
man fought a man over another
woman. Robinson charged that he
was approached by the McCray
woman near the Modern Theatre
on Sunday afternoon, and at once
the woman began to use often
sive language to him in a man
ner un-becoming lady. He add
ed that the woman became so en-
ragged that She struck him several
times. He further said that he
rushed to the police precinct and
reported the incident, which re-
suited in her arrest.
The woman denied the charge,
claiming that the man was I'M
gentlenlanlike and had otherwise
mistreated her. She also told the
court that she and Robinson had
been special friends for sometime
that she had treated him fine,
given him money, and cared for
much of his needs. She explained
that the whole matter Stemmed
from a previous incident between
the two, when another woman
came to Robinson'S room at am.
on recent morning, only to find
that she (the McCray woman)
was spending the evening with
Robinson in his room. This natur-
ally led to further complications
| between the two.
Considering the advance ages
of both the woman and man, this
case becomes even more pathetic
when one learns the calibre of the
charges made against each other
! by both parties.
After a considerably long hear
/ ing, Judge Thomas found the
woman guilty, and fined her SIS
or 6 days in jail.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
Henry Williams mot the same
man as in the case stated above)
and Johnny Moore were each
charged with vagrancy. Williams
was sentenced to 20 days and
Moore to 80 days.
Joshua Carson and Charlie King
were each charged with assault
and battery. Carson was charged
with assault and battery on Lena
DeVeaux, and King on his wife,
Lula Mae. Carson received Sus-
pended sentence and King was
fined SIS or 6 days.
James Brooks, Lizzie Gay,
Booker T. Baron, Moultrie Scott,
Minnie Scott, Almeda Truitt, An
.hony Lewis and Cora Lee Lewis,
were each charged with disorder
ny conduct or drunk and disor-
derby conduct. Brooks was fined
$25 or 10 days, Gay $25 or 10,
both of the SCOTS and Truitt were
each sentenced to 2 days, $25 or
an additional 10 days; Anthony
Lewis was fined $25 or 6 days,
but his fine was suspended; Cora
Lee Lewis, who was also charged
with disrupting an officer while
in the performance Of his duty,
was fined SIS and cost or 6 days.
The SIS was suspended but the

Thugs and Cutpurses
Business Is Booming for the Lorcenous,
District Police Note With Guinness
By Richord RODGERS

Carly said. "They never get
much money-maybe five, seven
dollars. If he gets as much as
$40, he's got a lot Of money"
The captain shook his head in
wonderment. But they keep
sticking up cab drivers"
He said grocers are the favor
ite target Of banditti who spe-
cialize in cash registers. Liquor
store owners are also tapped
frequently.
The first half of this year, his
men closed 384 robbery cases.
In the same period last year
they closed BIT cases. :.
A number Of the cases that
haven't been solved no doubt
will remain open forever. Rob-
berries are not easy to solve. Es-
pecially in Washington, the
tourists mecca, with its millions
of visitors, some of whom are
evil fellows.
How to Pull a Job
A transient robber bound for
Miami, say, from some place
north Of us, can stop off here
minute. stick up a grocer or
liquor store man or filling sta
tion operator. and be on his way
before the report is completed.
Such operations remain mys-
terieS unless the operator is a
smart aleck and tries to pull a
repeat or two, in which circum-
stances he stands more of q
chance of getting caught. The
hit-and-run play is infinitely
safer.
Robbers who use weapons in
their work generally favor pis-
tolls, but the shiv has it's follow
ers, too. A knife at your neck
is a powerful inducement to let
the man have your wallet.
yoke" robbers. or muggers as
other cities call them, use no
arms except the ones hanging
from their shoulders. Their
nickname comes from their
modus operandi. They grab you
around the neck-applying
yoke to you.
Yoking became popular in the
193Os. Capt. McCarty said, "be-
cause it's fast and it's quiet"
1t is also effective. Capt. Nc
Carly said he couldn't recall
any instance where the victim
freed himself by judo. The
caper is completed too fast for
heroism on the victims part.
Robberies at Ebb
Robbery cases are temporarily
at a low ebb, Capt. McCarty
said. The hot months here al
ways show a decrease, he said.
He wouldn't give any explana-
ton for it, but one may regard
1t a horrible commentary on
the enervating summers here.
One last point. Capt. McCarty
does not approve of using the
words robber or robbery loosely.
Second-story men are not
necessarily robbers. To be a
robbery. theft must be COM
mitted while the victim is
present. If he's not on the scene
at the time. it's not a robbery.

we could help Richmond or

any one or two engine planes
which have obviously just taken

They don't report Cub-type ci-
william planes, or one or two
engine planes not flying in for
nation. They do report all jets,
all four engine aircraft. all for
nation fights and "any un-
usual aerial activity"
Aircraft FIosh Message
Just then the whine of a jet
became audible. Mr.. Miller
whipped his big field glasses up
into the hazy blue yonder, saw
something, and made furious
entries on a sheet headed "Air-
craft Flash Message Record"
Meanwhile Mrs. Eunice Minor.
wife of the chief observer, had
picked up the telephone, made
a staccato report that seemed
to be over before it began, and
hung up. The whole operation
probably took less than As sec
onds. The plane was an F-80.
"You have witnessed" said
Mr.. Miller. with ill-concealed
satisfaction, "a typical report.
Two VOs of the CD'S DC GOO
saw a jet aircraft and reported
it to their FC, which is now
relaying the report to a GCI

"Then what?" asked your re-

Business has been brisk in the
robbery business here this year.
Heist guys, dips, Strong-arm
boys and purse snatchers have
been busy. The Metropolitan
police robbery squad has been
busy, too, hauling them in.
Pickpockets and pocketbook-
grabbers are rated as felons
here, and their activities are in
cluded in the figures the police
statisticianS are putting togeth-
er now for the fiscal year just
ended.
In the first six months this
year. GIT robberies were report
ed. In the same period last
year, 516 were reported. In each
period. 81 were what the police
call "unfounded."
It's just a coincidence that
81 false alarms were sounded in
each period. The victims"
don't pull repeat performances.
FoIse Reports
The robbery squad is resigned
to wasting time on liars who
claim some one stuck them up,
when in truth they dropped
their bankroll trying for a four
in a crap game, or Strewed it
around in a night of Merry An
drewing they don't want their
wives to know about.
There were 68 reports of un-
successful attempted robberies
the first half of this year. Six
were unfounded. Last year. 43
unsuccessful robbery attempts
were reported the first six
months. and three were un-
founded.
There have been $50 actual
robberies in the first half Of
1852. During the same period
last year there were 479 actual
robberies.
That's an increase of 101 sue
cessful jobs this year, and %
flubbed tries over the 1851
period.
One wonders why.
Cont Exploin Crime
Nobody" said Capt. Rich
ard McCarty of the robbery
squad, "can explain crime"
The increase this year would
seem to indicate more holdups.
but the figures are misleading
because they include the depre-
dations of purse Snatchers and
pickpockets.
The first half of last year,
there were 157 purse Snatchings.
This year there have been 229.
The sport is gaining popularity.
In the 1851 period, 80 pick
pocket cases were reported.
There have been six fewer in
the first half of 1852. The reader
may make up his own remark
about tax collectors.
But out on the streets and in
little shops and stores, the
stick 'em-up crowd was also in
dustrious. Some knocked off siz-
able prizes but most were BUSH

risk.
