THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Eighteenth Year - Number 52
Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, November 20, 1907
-----
INJUNCTION IS INVOKED.
-----
New Plan Adopted to Suppress
Disorderly Houses.
-----

       For several months County Attorney Connally has had pending in the county court criminal prosecutions against some white women at Rosebud who are alleged to be conducting disorderly houses in that town.  His prosecutions have only been partially successful in the criminal court.
       Now, however, the county attorney has adopted a plan that will probably produce more tangible results, at least for the present, as Sheriff Poole has closed the offending places up by servin writs of injunction, issued at the instance of Mr. Connally and granted by Judge Scott at Waco.
       The writs are made returnable to the January term of the district court in Marlin.  They were restraining, temporarily pending final hearing, Lena Moore and Margaret Welsch from operating or conducing disorderly houses.
