Two Arrests on Slavery Charge in Washington
Commissioner B J Wright in Walla Walla heard J E James and Percy Croker on a white slavery charge. They are accused of bringing two prostitutes from Oregon, bound to the grand jury at $2500 each, and held in the county jail. They claim innocence and say they met the women in Pendleton and traveled via Milton and Lewiston. They admit knowledge of the women’s work but say they learned of it after arriving. They say they worked for a California newspaper. They allege fares were paid by James or jointly. They were not allowed contact with attorneys or family.
