FoHTIWi: TKLI.EItS AURKSTED.
Three gypsy women, who have been
wandering around the city during the
past two dnjs grafting money from
susceptible people, claiming to tell their
fortunes by rending their palms, came
to grief yestetday afternoon when they
encountered Cunstuble John Davis, of
Alderman John's coutt. The wily ottl-cc-r
caught tlu dusky women In tho
act of "working their graft." as It Is
called, and placed them under arrest.
He took them before Alderman John,
whete a win rant was sworn out for
their arrest on the charge of fortune
telling, which Is contrary to the act of
assembly, and termed a misdemeanor,
nnd punishable by imprisonment or
line, or both. The women did not deny
their guilt, and offered the alderman,
whom the queen uf tho tribe called
"papa," one dollar each for their re
lease. This the alderman lefu.sed and made,
out a commitment and ordered the con
stable to take them to the county Jail.
When they realized that Imprisonment
stared them In the face, the women
managed to dig up $4.95 between them,
which they paid on their aggregate
fines of J6.
The gypsies thereupon secured their
release nnd ptomlsed to leave the town.
The hearing affouled much amusement
for a latgo uowd of wpectators and
despite their pleadings and compli
ments to the venerable nlderman, tho
unfottunate tilo lett the office In a
very dejected mood.
