There were four charges against “Mother” Sol- omon, but Mr. Mullowney said he had been unable to secure any direct proof against her. The woman was Seeeeetine by Attorney Shillington. A plea of not guilty was en- tered and a, jury trial demanded in each case. It was declared that Mrs. Solomon received a quantity of silver ware stolen from Mr. John T. Devine, proprietor of the Shoreham, a lap robe from Mr. James F. Manning, a lap robe taken from Mr. David E. Buckingham and a gold watch stolen from Mr. Thomas Smith. Mrs. Solomon’s house, 502 14th street, was raided January 29, on the suspicion that it was a fence, and a large quantity of property was found there. The raid re- sulted in the trial this afternoon. ——___. Metropolitam Church Officers, At the quarterly conference of the Metro- politan M. E.

A “Division” Housekeeper Goes to Jail for a Crime Done in Her Place, Judge Miller expressed himself thost em- phatically in the Police Court today re ganiing the houses of the “Division,” and also had a few words to say on the subjeat of “knock-out drops.” The matter came up when the case of Mrs. Linden, charged with keeping a bawdy house on 13th strect, was called. It seems that December 15 last a man, whose naine was not mentioned, claimef to have been drugged and robbed while in the house with one of the inmates, Mabel Moore. When a policeman went in search of the latter he was informed by Mrs. Lin- den that the woman wanted was not at the house and did not reside there. The girl had lived there, however, and therefore the proprietress was placed under arrest, al- though the charge of robbery was nat prosecuted. Judge Miller took occasion to remark thet if a case of giving knock-gut drops was proven before him he would impoee a sen- tence that would forever knock-out thi practice in this city. The court also state that the opening of houses of ilJ-fame is in direct violation of law, although for some unknown reason the action is permitted, But, added Judge Miller, when the matter is brought to the attention of the court the law will be sustained. Mrs. Linden: was sentenced to thirty days in jail and te pay a@ fine of $50. = = == —= DIED.
