THE FLINT SPOKESMAN

SATURDAY, NOVEMBI

i THE CREEPER

The weather is getting rather
cool, but still the Creeper is

_ able to make Creeps.

MW and not MTW had a rush
date the other p. m. but would
not tell us who it was. At first,
we thought that it was Kilroy,
but it later proved to be TD.
What's ta it, kids?

The Blue Star Girls didn~t
have too much to worry about
as far as the female situation

_Was concerned. FS easily took

>

care of more than half of the
~soldiers.

TB. is still making those creeps
upon evnaar This: iS) a | ge
deal.

TR has gone back to work; Now that his one and only is on

her way home. What strange
power does FR hold over him?

H. J. seems to be showing
GR more attention than usual.
Wonder if it is because of the. Rew Buick that is im the fam
~ily. te

_IM was it MTW or LP you
were with last weekend? Don~t
know because we could not find
you.

What made M. Mercury H.
take such a keen _ interest
IV all of a sudden? Could it be
because he lost out in Toledo?

DW seemed to be enjoying
himself very much at the Royal Gardens. Dor't blame you,
~she igs rather fine.

JVZ you were at: the ees.to entertain the soldiers. BT
it seems, did not approve of
this situation. Maybe he isn~t
So sure of himself anymore.

C. Spokesman T. was really
on the beam the other evening.
He appeared at the Royal Gardens in ~top spirits. Wher the
~band began playing I Don~
Know Why, he began sing:ng
iv beautiful. tones. We followed
him ta the~ ited Deb where he
outsang the jukebox or Be Fair
with Me.

Who was the young lady
that has. set TT~s heart to singing. All information wiil be apvoreciated.

The Creeper saw AP in Pontiac last week and also saw the
same car parked im your driveway and yet you deny all connections. Who are you trying
to fool? Surely not us. -

MP what happened to you
and. SH? You seemed to be
chummy at the dance. Or are
you really interested in HW?
CP the gay divorcee is home
again for another try at the
matrimorial life. More power

cr is

in

to you kid.

CH is home from the army
ready to take over his gay days.
Beware chicks.

JM was rather outdone the
other evening when on asking
to take a chick home, she refused but gave him three cases
of pop to take home in her
place.

EW had a heavy date the
other night and not to...-be
wrong, we waited until the dace
appeared. Yes, he really had a
~heavy date.~

I. couldn~t sleep a wink last
night ~ was the tune thar MH
wis singing when she appeared
in the Red Dog at 5 a. m. What
is the stary behind this?

Is it true that sweet little
PH has really fallen in love?
BD seems to be the lucky guy.
|They both seem happy about
the whole affair. This is a good
deal, because they make a
charming couple.

KF is always seen going to
the theater by himself. Is~ it
because he doesn~t lik: girls.
it because he is thinking~

JJ when did you and AP fall
oul? Is it because he is a Cornmando?

MJ, ward comes to the desk
tat) you have cast a spell on
a certain SW. We are toid that
he is a very patient man, and
keleves in the old saying that
~00d things come to those who
wait. Don~t disappoin: him, kid.
WEP red dog playgirl: The
first time that we have. ever
s~eir you with your mouth -clos~a was when a certain fellow~s
wife had you hemmed in a corner at the Red Dog. Take it
sesy, playgirl. CM hacn~t heard
@bout it yet.

JT is now creeping cut of
shell. This is a gcod deal,
she is really a great erick, and
can add a great deal tu cheer
the heart~s of the male populace.

The Creeper had a ride in

BG's car Miss Blue. It is a
great car, and shogild be able
to stand up over the bumps and
jolts, which it is sure to get.
MH is really coming or. She
makes ruff calls at the Red Dog
Coney Island for JB now what
about CS who ~took you home
fram the Royal Gardens?
TT is getting mixed up with
two sisters. The outcome is
doubtful since the sisters, Cr
and JT are forming a plot. Suffer TT.

had been arrested six times and

the witness said he had a good

Cupies of the watrants were
presented as evtence at the
tr.ol. They were sworn out by
Bigvers~ before the justice of
peace at Conveis, charging
Johnson with misdemeanor and
Securing money. under false
rretense. Johnsen testified that
cn one occasion he, went to
Conyers to visit relatives and

tftok. him by cone of his barns
and the sheriff turned up an3j
locked him up.

At the outset of the trial, the
government prosecutors. said
they intended to show that the
defendant had the Negroes arrested by swearing out warrants before a justice uf peace,
and -bailed them out to work on
his farm. They ~ also explained
that in swearing. out the warrants Biggers claimed the Negroes owed him a debt.. They
claimed that in some cases there
were no debts,while in others,
money had ben advanced and
was refused when the alleged
peonage victims attempted to
pay out.

Hal Lindsey, chief defense
counsel, said it was his intention to show that the Negroes
were not compelled to work out
of debt ahd pointed out that
they were not under guard at
night. He said he intended to
show that the five Negroes who
made the charges against Bighartds, were a biability, seldom
worked and never paid their

Mr. Willig Armour of 938 Indiana Avenue shot and killed
Mr. John Shaw, last Friday
evening in the home of Mr.
Shaw, 938. Indiana Avenue, in
self-defense.:

In an interview with Mrs. Armour, the wife of the assaliant,
told the Toledo Script reporter
that she and her husband tried
to enter the house but Shaw
was standing in the door-way.
She marraged to squeeze through
and went tdward the kitchen.
She then heard Shaw say to
her husband: ~If you come in
this door I will kill you,~
her husband said: ~Why can~t I
come in, I pay rent here?~

Mr. Shaw, according to Mrs.
Armour~s statement, then eased
his hard from his pocket and
came out with a revolver. I
tried to warn my husband but
by that time he too saw the
revolver and fired on him.

~

Mrs. Armour said that Mr.
Shaw came to them last spring
and asked them if they would
move to his home and take over
things as he and his wife were
moving to Oklahoma. She -and
her husband consented to Mr.
Shaw~s_ offer, pravidimg he
would sell them the furniture.
He sold the furniture to them
at the price of $500.50, and
then the Shaws moved to Oklahoma.

During the time he was there
the Armours sent him $40.00
per month for the rent of the

Now I hope that Mr. Pearson
prediction is correct, however,
I am very doubtful about this
prediction. ~Mr. Pearson is not

Washington for many years and,

that he is right this time. But
reserving the right to make my
qywn prediction in my own meek
way. I predict that Sen. Bilbo
will be seated in the senate
next year. I base my prediction
on this fact: that no Senator or
Congressman like the idea of
contesting the seating of a
member who has been duly
elected by the voters of his respective state or district. In this
case Bilbo was elected by the
citizens of Mississippi, therefore, no member of the Senate
is likely to stick his neck out to.Junseat him..I. do~ expect the

senate investigating committe
to make some kind of an investigation of Bitbo concerning
his much talked about mansion.
It is reported that he built this
home through some kind of a
crooked deal. It is also reported
that he received a car on this
deal. Speaking of his car reminds me that he has wrecked it in the State of Arkansas
and he is naw, in.a_ hospital.

a home and was waiting for the
family to move out, when this
confusion came up between he
and Mr. Shaw. ~

On Thursday night, November 14th, Mr. Shaw raised such
a disturbance with them until
the Armours said they left and
went to spend the night with
a neighbor. Mr. Armour also
went to work from the neighbors home.

During the day Shaw was
said to have been going around
telling various neighbors of his
intentions to kill Armvuur. When
Armour returned from work ard]
