Police Raid Bawdy House, Arrest Women, Sept. 10, 1924

Five White Women in Tuesday Couret. . . Police Make a Raid Alleged Bawdy House and Take Inmates into Custody

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.
