Conviction of the Defendant in the Police Court Yesterday—Women ‘Witnesses Decline to Answer. The first case resulting from the raids in the “Division” last Sunday night was heard in Judge“ Miller’s court yesterday after- noon, the defendant being Georgie Gilmore, who kept one of the houses on 18th street, in sight of Pennsylvania avenue. This wo- man was represented by Lawyers Forrest and Johnson, who availed themselves of every technicality. The women caught in the house when the raid was made protect- ed the keeper of the house as much as they could in giving their evidence. But the police knew of the character of the house and the women who lived in it, and they also gave the court and jury the tenefit of their opinion of the character of the neighborhood in which the house is lo- cated. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny made a strong argument, and the jury promptly returned a verdict of guilty. This verdict received the applause of the ladies of the social purity organizations who were in court. These ladies expressed a willing- ness to care for the women who would by the verdict be compelled to seek quarters elsewhere. The news of her conviction spread through the “Division” with remarkable rapidity and some of the women in that locality, fearing there would be raids last night, closed their doors. Testimony of the Police. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny, in call- ing the case to the attertion of the court yesterday afternoon, said that the defend- ant was charged with keeping a common, ill-governed bawdy house at the corner of 13th and D streets. The information, he said, charged that the defendant had vio- lated the law from the Ist of January to the 17th of this month. Precinct Detective Sutton testified to the circumstances attending the raid. He went there in company with other officers, and found in the house four women, besides the “madam,” and eleven bottles of wine. The raid was made, he said, because the propr‘etress was suspected of illegal liquor selling and keeping a bawdy house. “Madam” Gilmore, he said, complained that she was sick and said she supposed her house was raided because it was larger than some of the others and was probably more able to pay a fine. “When you made the raid did you find any men in the house?” asked counsel. “I did not,” the witness responded, “but 1 understand that there were three men in the house.” “Did you have a raiding warrant when you went the! I did not Witness was asked if he knew the char- acter of the women fcund in the house, and he answered that they had the reputation of being pro.titutes. The defendant, he said, is proprietor of the house. Policeman Williams, who is on the “Di- vision” beat, was next called. He said that the reid was made because it was sus- pected that the defendant was keeping an .nlicensed bar in addition to keeping a house of ill-fame. They did not get suffi- cient proof in the liquor matter, and so this charge was preferred. Witness said he participated in the raid because he was ordered to do so by Acting Lieuten- ant Shilling. Lieut. Amiss is out of the city. One of the women, he said, had only entered the house that night, and he did rot know much about her. “Did you see any men in the house?” “I did not.” Policeman Kilmartin gave similar evi- dence. Acting Lieutenant Shilling testified that he got information that liquor was being sold in the house after an order against the sale of intoxicants had been given. When witness went there and saw the defendant, she exclaimed: “My God, there's @ man_upstairs,” and went up to let him cut. Witness went upstairs and saw the man and a woman in a room. Down’ stairs, he said, there was another Ia, and he was talking to several wo- Fs The new girl,” said witne: nd had been run out of Parkhurst.

Women Decline to Answer. “T_under- few York by Lillian Chase, a well-dressed young wo- man, twenty-two years old, was then called. She was a very unwilling witness, and in response to certain questions she anstvered: “I decline to answer that question, because it will tend to incriminate me.” Under oath. the young woman told the court that she had boarded in the defend- ant’s house since November, and had paid $10 a week. She occupied room 15 on the upper floor, and paid her board with money had in a savings bank. Shs) sai she Walter ecieean mien call to see other women in the house. “I have friends come to see me,” she said. The witness was questioned about the cir- cumstances under which she was found in the room with a male companion, and she declined to answer, upon the grounds of her former declaration, as well as for the rea- son that it would disgrace her. Counsel for the defendant held that the objection was well founded, and cited a de- cision of the Iilinois court of appeals. Mr. Mullowny insisted that the woman should be compelled to answer, but Judge Miller recalled the fact that the Edmunds act is in force in the District, and said that the decision of the Supreme Court was clear on the subject. He thereupon held that the question need not be answered. Witness said she did sewing for a living, both here and also in Baltimore before she came here. Her hour for retiring, she said, is 12 o'clock midnight, and she has break- fast at noon. Cora Brown, a tall, stylishly dressed wo- man, was next put on the stand and asked where she lived. She responded: “I decline to answer.” “Why do you decline to answer?” “Because I don’t choose to answer It.” “We've had enough of this foolishness,” said the court, “and now you answer the questfon or I'll send you to Jail. Raise your veil and answer the question.” “I live on 1ith street.” When esked how she earned her living she said she had a gentleman friend. Witness told of her visits to Georgie Gil- mere’s house, but said she had never done anything wrong there. ‘a Neilson, who reached here from New = Monday and had been in the house only a short time when the house was raided, was sworn as a witness, and she said she was in the parlor talking to a man at the time the raid was made. She says she {s a dressmaker and lives in New York, at No. 237 West 43d street. “Did Dr. Parkhurst drive you out of New York?” “I don’t know Dr. Parkhurst.” “But didn’t you tell the officers that Dr. Parkhurst drove you out of New York?” “I never had anything to do with Dr. Parkhurst.” The witness said she did not know what a disreputable house was. This closed the case for the prosecution, and counsel for the defendant claimed that the government had not sustained the charge. ‘Counsel on both sides made arguments to the jury, for there was no defense offered, and the jury, after hearing the court's charge, promptly returned a verdict of guilty. Counsel gave notice of a motion for a new t and gave security for the appearance of their client. — Sons and Daughters of Maine. Major General O. O.

The annual session of the Baltimors con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South will begin next Wednesday in the Green Memorial Church, Roanoke, Va., and continue in session the better part of a week. Of late the conference has paid more attention to the territory around Washing- ton than for some yeers past, and in con- sequence it may take some action looking toward a more substantial recognition of the importance of this section of the con- ference field. ‘The most important feature of the Wash- ington work is the erection of the new edi- fice of the Epworth congregation on Capitol Hill and its dedication. In the Washington district, in which this city is situated, there are no vacancies by the expiration of the four-year limit except at Middleburg, Va. Presiding Elder Rumsey Smithson an- nounces that he has not decided upon the person to recommend for this position. Though there are no vacancies in this city by limitation, it is rumored that Rev. W. S. Hammond of Marvin Church may receive another appointment. Rev. John O. Knott, pastor of Epworth, has only served for one year, but during that time has built a new church, and as he is now in the midst of completing a better organization of the con- gregation, it is thought he is apt to be re- tained.

At the meeting of the National Geo- graphic Society, held last evening in the assembly hall of the Cosmos Club, two tech- nical papers were read before a large audi- ence. Mr. N. H. Darton presented an ex- haustive treatise on the physiographic de- velopment of the soil of the District of Co- lumbia, illustrating his paper with a num- ber of lantern slides and views. Prof. Gil- bert Thompson read a scientific paper on the use of geodetic control lines in geo- graphic work. Preliminary to the regular meeting of the society, the board of man- agers met to elect members and transact business. The following were elected active members: Mr. Perry Allen, Judge Victor Barringer, Miss Marie Byington, Mr. Henry A. Curtis, Mr. James A, Edgar, Dr. R. Farnham, Dr. Albert S. Gatschet, Mr. Henry F. Getz, Mrs. A. G. Hensley, Mr. ham, Roaroke, Lewisburg and Moorefield, and ‘the respective elders are: Revs. J. 8. Hutchinson, James E. Armstrong, Ramsey Smithson, David Bush P. H. Wisner, B. F. Ball, W. G. Hammond and George H. Zim- merman. The expirations by law are those of Messrs. Hammond and Bush, and many speculations have been indulged in concern- ing their successors. It ts the impression that one of the elders will be assigned to a church and a minister put into the eldership. When the report of the Baltimore conference was published last spring .t contained 213 ministers of all classes, 32 lay delegates, all representing a constituency of nearly 50,000 members, which latter figure is probably reached by this time. The conference has 619 societies, 496 church edifices, valued at over a million dollars, and there are 158 pastoral charges. ‘The presiding officer of the coming confer- ence will be Bishop R. K. Hargrove of Chat- tanooga, Tenn., who vas here this week. The bishop is comparatively a young man. Scott’s Emulsion has benefit- ed millions of people.
