HELD UNDER $600 BAIL ] Joanna Adams, colored, proprietor of the Douglass House, was investigated | on Monday under charges against her of receiving stolen goods arid of mal- 1 practice with women. Counterpanes | and silver marked "Hotel Capo May" were found in her possession and fine goods of various kinds were in evidence { everywhere in the bouse. She is believed to be a "fence". I The investigation of an alleged premature birth and death of an infant due to malpractice, resulted in no discovery. The yard was dug op in a bant for clues but none were found. Since the alleged incident occurred last August, the remains, if any, are likely to have faded away. The investigation was conducted under the direction of Prosecutor. Lloyd. Strange to relate the womau was "tipped off" by someone who obtained a hint of the investigation and there was some curiosity as to who may done it. She was held under $600 bail to aplet ore the next grand jury. The charges against the woman were made Charles Jacox, colored, who has on friendly terms with her until - recently and various discoveries may 1 lead to a strenuous investigation as to ' where other goods In the house came from and as to many other things partially unearthed.
