Afraid Of No Man
(Noon.) NEW YORK, Mar. 28, Forty-one-year-old Mrs. Pearl Burrus today applied for the job of police chief of Evarts, a small mountain town in Kentucky, which has had five police chiefs since August.
In a letter of application to the Mayor, she wrote: “I want it understood that if I am employed as chief of police of Evarts, I will not carry a gun or have one in my possession. I am not afraid of a gun nor a man with a gun nor a man without a gun. I think I can arrest any man in Evarts or any place in Kentucky without a gun.”
