Ed Hayes, Sara McFarland, Martha McNeil, D.J. Taylor, Dora Stone Arrested Dec. 27, 1924

Minor Matters Kept Police Quite Active

Police were kept pretty busy Saturday night with minor disturbances.

--Ed Hayes and Sara McFarland were “run in” on a charge of using a room for immoral purposes.

--Martha McNeil, a Wilson county negress, was caught in Elliott row with about a pint of whiskey, and is on the police blotter charged with the illegal possession of whiskey.

--D.J. Taylor, a well known lumber man of the city, was arrested on charges of drunkenness and illegal possession of whiskey.

--Dora Stone faces a duet of charges: assault and battery with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon. She is charged with threatening the life of Eloise Washington, a rival in the game of hearts.
