Negroes on Trial Accused of Living Off White Women in Seattle
The first quota of a list of allegedroes living off the immoral earnings of white women in Seattle appeared before Justice Brinker Momlay. Three men Roscoe Lane Harry Smith and Clarence Hetelle were arrested two weeks ago and on trial. Deputy Sheriff Scott Malone testified the men admitted they were not working and did not expect to work. Lane said he managed a Rex pool room on Jacksons. The pool room had one table and he roomed at a Jackson rooming house run by a white woman named May. Frank Hammond was the attorney for the trio with no comment on who posted bail. A similar charge against Durr Piackie Williams was postponed. Police estimate 160 or more of these Negroes in the city.
