SAY SIMPSON TOOK MONEY FROM AN OLD MAN.

Charlie Simpson, a young man whom the police call a Peters street 
rounder, appeared in court this morning to answer to the charge of 
being drunk one solid year.  Officer Ozburn, who made the arrest, 
stated that Simpson had not worked in a year, but was a hanger-on at 
saloons on Peters street. 

The direct cause of his arrest, however was the taking of 85 cents 
from the pocket of John Parks, an old white man with whom he had been 
drinking during the day.  Simpson was given a fine of $15.75 or thirty 
days in the stockade.  He informed the recorder that he thought he 
would be able to pay the fine this afternoon or tomorrow.

THREE GIRLS FOR CHARITY 

MRS. BLAKE WILL ASK RECORDER BROYLES TO PLACE HER CHILDREN IN 
CHARITABLE HOME. 

A hard luck story that tells of hard luck pure and simple, brought 
on by too much whisky and too much love for a worthless man, is the 
one that has been told to Chief Ball by Mrs. Mary Blake, wife of 
Harry Blake, who applied at police headquarters yesterday afternoon 
for a place to stay with her three children. 

Mrs. Blake has been married about nine years, and has three girls, 
one seven, one six, and the other five years old.  Her husband, she 
says, has been a drunkard for years, and was before Judge Broyles in 
the recorder's court last week, having been arrested on complaint of 
his wife.  At that time he promised to go to work, behave himself and 
support his family.  With this understanding the case was left open 
against Blake, and he was not fined. 

As soon as he left headquarters Blake left for Birmingham, and since 
going there his wife has not heard from him, and he has not sent her 
any money for the support of herself or the children. 

Mrs. Blake waited to hear from her recreant spouse, but as no word 
has received from him, she was compelled to apply to Chief Ball for 
aid.  All of last night she remained in the women's ward in the care 
of Matron Bohnefeld, and this afternoon she will go before Recorder 
Broyles and ask that her three girls be committed to the care of some 
charitable institution until such time as she, through working, may 
be able to provide for them.  It is a probable this course will be 
taken by the recorder.
