A PRETTY WIDOW.
She Incurs the Hostility of the Proprietress of the Albemarle.
Mrs. Helen Jackson, a prepossessing widow, was arrested yesterday morning by Officer Bevan, on a warrant charging her with having disturbed the peace of Mrs. E. L. Lewis. She subsequently appeared before Police Judge Owens for arraignment, when her case was set for trial on Monday next, at 3 o'clock p. m.
The complainant, Mrs. Lewis, is the proprietress of the Albemarle lodging house, on South Spring street, and Mrs. Jackson occupies one of her rooms. The former alleges that her lodger's conduct was such that she preferred Mrs. Jackson's room to her company; but when served with a notice to vacate the apartment, Mrs. Jackson absolutely refused to do so until she felt like it.
The irate landlady adopted other tactics, and raised Mrs. Jackson's rent to $5 per day, but even this failed to have the desired effect, and in despair Mrs. Lewis sought the assistance of the police. As the matter was purely a civil one, they were unable to aid her in ridding herself of her unwelcome lodger, but on Friday afternoon the matter was brought to a crisis by an exciting scene between the two women, when Mrs. Lewis was again defied, and as a last resort she had recourse to the law, with the result stated above.
Mrs. Jackson tells an entirely different story; and when the case comes up for trial on Monday afternoon it is not improbable that a small sized sensation will be developed.
