NEGRO WOMAN IN ML PLEASANT BROTHEL
OLLIE GRANBERRY BURNS TO D EATH IN TENEMENT HOU8E.
WAS NOTORIOUS CHARACTER IN CRIMINAL ANNAL8 OF THE
COUNTY OFTEN BEEN IN DICTED FOR BOOT LEG ING.
Ollie Granberry, a negro woman or
about thirty years of age, was burn
ed to death about 1 o'clock Wednes
day morning at Mt. Pleasant The
woman was ln the second story when
the fire broke out. It is thought that
she was drunk, and that she could
not be awakened from her stupor to
get out of the flames.
The building was situated near the
depot, ln the rough negro section of
the town. In spite of the fact that it
was wet from the recent rains, the
wood timbers burned like tinder, and
the fire company was powerless to
put out the conflagration.
Ollie Granberry, the woman burn
ed, was a notorious character. There
had hardly been a term of the crim
inal court for the past two or three
years at which she had not been in
dicted for bootlegging. She had run
a close race with one or two others
in appearing most upon the docket.
She kept a low, drunken dive la the
vilest part of the city, and it was In
this brothel that she met her death.
