Show IT US JUST REALLY TOO, TOO AWFULLY BAD This Is What Witnesses Say of Language Used by Mrs! Flora Young, "Oh, judge, before all these men 7'-'! cried Mrs. Lillie 1'enshaw in a shocked A-oice when asked to tell Judge .T..M. teowman in the city court on Friday afternoon .ptst what words Mrs. "Flora 'Voting used to disturb the peace last Wednesday afternoon. "Your houor. if yon will remove these male persons 1 will attempt to tell you what she said," was the dignified dig-nified remark of Mrs. Henrietta Bur-dick Bur-dick when she, too, was urged lo repeat Mrs. Young's conversation. So. to get at t lie real facts, I he court and E. A. Kogers. assistant city attorney, attor-ney, had to fall back upon F. "C. , Bur-dick, Bur-dick, the husband of the second witness. wit-ness. And after Bnrdick had testified it seemed that perhaps the women had some ground for their diffidence. If Mrs. Young said what Burdiek said she said, she was "going some." It was another one of those family jars which have been keeping Judge Bowman busy the last few days that brought Mrs'., Henshaw of ITo West Sixth South .trccl; her next-door neighbors, neigh-bors, the Burdieks. of Xo. 473; and Mrs. Young of Xo. -171, inlo court. A: u-Mial, the children were at the bottom of it. Mrs. Young's little girl pushed Mrs. Bnrdick- 's little girl away from the community hydrant. Then the Bnrdick girl pushed back. And so the row started. Perhaps there would have been no court, proceedings if Mr-?. Burdiek had not. asked Mrs. Young why she didn't move if she didn't like her neighbors. Then, to use Mrs. Benshaw's language, "Mrs. Young cut loose." "It was something awful, judge."' Mrs. Benshaw said, in her most ladylike lady-like manner. "If you will get nil of these men out of here I will tell you. But T couldn't dream of repeating it before nil these men." Mrs. Renshaw did consent to say (hat Mrs. Young called her a "nasty, dirty hussy." Also "Mrs. Young threatened to "'blow her heart out and cut her throat." Further than that she would not go. Mrs, Bnrdick was equally backward about telling the awful things Mrs. Young said. So Burdiek had to be called upon. Mrs. Young will tell her side Monday Mon-day afternoon. |
