WON'T GO TO NARRAGANSETT.
Judge Miller Interfered with Mildred Williams' Summer Outing.
Mildred Williams was the name of a tall, willowy young mulatto who was defendant in the police court yesterday to charges of threats, disorderly conduct and assaulting two policemen. Her garments were bright in color, and her hat caused Judge Miller to suspect right away that she was trouble-hunting. Victoria Wells, the woman whom Mildred had threatened to murder, told her story in a very excited manner on the stand, and Mildred looked on superciliously. "What do you do for a living?" inquired the judge. "I sew in the winter, and every June I go to Narragansett Pier to work." "Well, you won't go there this June," said his honor, and he announced that Mildred might pay a fine of $20 or spend sixty days in jail for being disorderly, with an additional sixty days for assaulting the policemen and personal bonds to keep her hands off Victoria.
