• 1 ■ ■» Isabella's Indecency. ,\; . .'Two Trafficking Touts. '"'• (FiW "Truth's^ Ihinedin Rep.) ». . . V ■ Isabelia Jolly, of Athol-placo, despite her deplorable doings and tho wasters she is mixed -up with, the law baa ' always dealt' leiicritly with. Thero 'arcs many of Isabella's pestiferous profession inttie door town, but hardly ,any o£ thorn haft such a mob of nowork, trafflckhig shameless touts as the unfo^ttftiaf^^'jjiman; She may bo ■ moro shured against than sinning:, but thttf v cannot be" saitt of the wilful wasters Liddell, and Ford, who havo been sworn,tq.b'o.*trafflcking toots of a most despicable breed. Poor Jamboree Jolly bears the brunt of exposure and public ,cpatnmi9lsr^l)ut;tho low, 111-bred mongrel mooti&ers who enter the game, and 'live 'on '!tMo proceeds of a putrid profession,- too' often go on their way Scot free. There aarte t more touts than Liddell and Ford, as a previous case from the- 'same locality disclosed not long ago. 'It can" bo readily imagined what 'a menace to well-being "ARE THE WANTONS AND ..;.... WASTERS who .are cursing Atbol-place and tho vicinity. The' police should continue . their gboa work persistently and sporo no efforts -until tWose touts and tap-room-tods arc either stone- jugged or completely, on *« ... Last week, Isabella Jolly appeared " before M*. "W. X -Widdowson, S.IVL. to - answer 1 charges of-loiterlng and impor-tuning'passers-by m King-street. Tho lady pleaded not guilty. Constable vßeoro" said he was with a comrade named Lean In tho said street, at- 10 p.m. on.Tuowday. Ho observed tho lady ifttho.fiaso conversing with three men, onoof whom, after a while, sho' took away down a right-of-way. In- about ten minutes she returned by men she had left bohind, and who wcro still standing i^bout; The three of them tbon moved away. Ho and his mate followed onj and" very •soonrtho push observed them. .Thtfl/wqiftaja. Jolly came over to witness and plumped her Indecent invltalfoh to him ' straight out, quoting live shillings." ■ - .»■ ' ■ , Isabella: did yon know 'what I was doing In tho right-of-way? You willed, mo to you when I waa waiting for Jack. Ford? — % saw you leave tho group with a man and go into tho right-of-way with him. ' Cop. Lean 'corroborated. , Inspector Fouhy: Who spoke first? — i Sho did. She. said, "How do you do, boys? _ ' ' YOU SEEM TO BE LOST ABOUT HERE," Sho was with two men. Isabella: As for them; they were Gcorgo Liddell and Jack Ford. C'Op. Bandy's ovidenco was very outspokon and to tho point Ho literally,' uncovered tho wirolo poisonous' push. \ "I know thts woman *and tho two men well." said Bill. "Sho is a very bad character and a common prostitute. Ford Ih her tout, and so also is Ltridcll. . Thoy ore always on tho prowl for . co^trymen, and thoy ask them if they . aro looking for anything. Isabella .Jolly is thon Introduced, and afterwards she, Llddclt and Ford spend tho proceeds m. liquor, Tho mob is a fearful nulsanco. The menaco practically llvo on Jolly's immoral earnings." Prisoner: Deal leniently with mo, your Worship, for God'a sako. Tho S.M.: For your sako you will bo committed to tho Salvation Army Roformotivo Homo for twelvo months. So Athol-piaco losoh a microbe for a time. ButrWhat about tho trafficking touts? If they ever corao tho txuik's way, "Truth" suggOHta rologating them to tho public destructor.
