AIR CURRENT; ENTICED
"The "wages of sin is death". A
bottle of whiskejr, an all night car-;
ou&al, the gleam of "easy money",
temptingly displayed in a show win
dow, proved the undoing of young
John Holland, a white youth barely
past his majority, convicted in the
Recorder's Court this morning of
having smashed the large plate glass
window in front of .the Grand Ice
Cream Parlor and taking therefrom
some one dollar bills placed there
for an advertisement. j Holland is
rather an intelligent looking fellow
and testified that he -had been em
ployed at a local buggy factory as
painter jatfd made $9 (week. He
was not represented by counsel and
none of his family were present to
render hmt any sympathy. He de
nied his guilt and told a rather weak
story of. his meveirtents last night,
which culminated i nhis arrest this
Inoromg a lifene after live, a few
minutes after officer George Jennings
of the local poliee force had heard ,
window crash, and upon investiga
tion ascertained it to - be at the
Grand. Two rolls of mey were
found on the young fellow; one con
taining about sixteen dollars and !
shown to officer Rous when the ar
rest was made, this Holland- claimed
and St was turned over to him by the
Court; the other ithe officer testified
had been dropped n route to the -jail
and Holland denied having, had it;
there were sx dllars -new ones -which
were identified as some of the
money displayed in the . Grand win
dow. Little or no doubt of the guilt
of Holland waa held by any who heard
the case. He was sentenced to twelve
months in the county, jail or to be
worked on the roads, f
There was about $10 in paper mon
ey in a pyramidical twine cajre in
an improvised display window in the
front of the Grand Theater's lobby
until this morning about 4:30 o'clock.
The money was kept rising and fall
ing in the daytime by a current of
lit from underneath, and was" a part
of a cigarette advertising display.
i Another unfortunate case before
the city tribunal today was that of
an , old negro couple . charged with
running a "rooming house." A young
white girl comely of appearance was
on hand and testified that she ' had
visited ' the house on several occa
sions with a young man said to be
employed on one of the shifting engine
forces of the local railroads. Decis
ion in the case was reserved until
Wednesday.
