White women were among the group of defendants hauled into court on Tuesday morning, there as the result of raids made by police on Monday night upon a house of unsavory reputation. Bertie Holder, charged with operating a bawdy house, with Agnes Herndon and Elizabeth, charged with indecent exposure, were arraigned and their cases continued until Wednesday morning. Ada Paschall and Laura Wagner were fined $5 and the costs each for taking part in an affray.
D.M. Segrest, found guilty of illegal possession of whiskey, drew a fine of $25 and the costs as a reminder that the law no longer tolerates the hoarding of alcoholic beverages.
Acie Warren, declared by officers to have partaken too freely of intoxicants, was fined $5 and the expenses of his prosecution.
P.L. Pickett, charged with a violation of an automobile law, was given a suspended judgement. L.W. Cameron was given a like disposition of his case for violating a traffic law.
