(ln> large ntunhor of riistahouts wore
given warn in?;, and groups could ho
seen collecting on stroot corners
watching intently the progress of the
various arrests.
Policemen evidently forgot that
they had a boat to patrol, for they
stood at the corner near Murphy's
Hotel with open mouths asking what
was the meaning of the entire affair.
When they learned that no informa
tion was forthcoming and that the
aid of the police was not requested,
nothing else was said. However they
continued to gossip ahout the mean
ing of the raid and in a short time
the streets were full of wild rumors
ahout thousands of soldiers having
"hit Richmond and painting the town
rod. arresting everybody in sight."

While on his way to Richmond last
ovening Captain DeCatnp became
suspicious of a house at Stop IT. on
the l'etersbnrg Turnpike . lie stopped
his automobile and ordered that the
place be investigated. II was learned
that ii was a hoarding house run and
managed by Mrs. Fra.vser Smith wife
of Dr. Krayser Smith, of Richmond.
Mrs. Smith said that she was runnim;
a legitimate boarding house and thai
she. had three couples staying t*ilh
her at t hat t ime.
The house was surroumleil and
raided. Three couples were found
upstairs in adjoining rooms, scantily
clad. All of the, inmates of the
house were at once arrested. The
names and addresses given were:
Mrs. Vickerv. living at the Virginia
Apart incuts, Fifth and Main streets;
Lillian Clay, living a' I West Cla>
street, and (Matlvs Donald, living at
I !i I ti d rove avenue. The men in
company with these women gave
their names as Smith, .lohnson and
Austin, living at Rocky Mount. N. <'
At the direction of I'niled States

prisoners, together with Mrs. Smith,
were taken before Magistrate IJowen
of Chest ertield county, where war

I A i this tunc a large number ol'
people had (locked around I ho hotel,
standing aghast. As they attempted
to enter the hotel they wore blocked
by guards standing at the doors with
orders to allow no one in. The oilier
boMhovs escaped, but Kobert Jones, '
! colored, was arrested, and lie made a
clean breast of his connection with
the matter. 1
1 lie confessed his guilt, and said
that he was willing to implicate the
j others and tell where he obtained the
whiskey. Captain DeCnnip now has
the addresses of a large number of
houses in the city which will be kept
under constant surveillance.
Walter Coy Winston, colored, bell
boy jit the Richmond Hotel, was then
arrested later, having sold several
pints of whiskey to soldiers.
