Greensboro, June 19—Jimmie Moseley, alias Jimmie Hackett, alias “Silk Shirt Jimmy,” was bound over today to United States Court grand jury, December term, on charges of white slavery, after a hearing here before United States Commissioner W.S. Lyon.
He wanted to plead guilty on condition that they let the girl with him go. Jail life is the ruin of girls, he said, merely preparation for the penitentiary, and he asked to be allowed to take his punishment and the girl go free.
But she refused to allow that. She was sentimental, too, and when the officers pointed out that she could go, she refused to go. As a result she is held in jail as a material witness under $1,000 bond, the same as the bond of the man.
It was charged that the man bought tickets for himself and the girl, known as “Mrs. Moseley,” at Richmond and transported herself here for immoral purposes. He was arrested at the O. Henry Hotel here.
It is stated by policemen that Moseley, or Hackett, sawed out of the city jail here some time ago when he was being held for Norfolk authorities.
