Teeny's Misdoings and a Man's Bluff in Kansas City
Joe Norman, a colored man with sporadic work, was tried in police court for keeping a disorderly house near the Missouri Pacific yards. The evidence showed boarders engaged in improper acts when he was away. Norman was found guilty but sentence suspended on condition he “eat up his place.” He explains his poverty and the confusion of events leading Teeny Williams to stay, insisting no crookedness occurred. Judge Ferry spared him further punishment, giving a chance to reform.
