“The way of the transgressor ia hard.’* That is what J. E.
Blackburn, unofficial detective and hia co-worker . ■
must have thought early Wednesday morning when the poiice
department vtwtKipH down uppn them in a room and arrested
them on the charge of engaging in prostitution. The fact that
the defendants at the time of their arrent, were occupying the
same room in compaav with another young man. and that the
whble i*rty were in diahabille did not tend to give the defendants
a very rosy outlook upon life in Wayne coupty. The further fact
that two of the defendants Blackburn and his co-worker, were
in the midst of. a t mmpaign to clean up the city, did not make
their own backaliding « bright .tpot in this campaign of law en
forcement. ’ ’ e
