The Atlanta Constitution,

Tuesday, 9th December 1913,

PAGE 5, COLUMN 2.

Joe Moore, a youth, was sentenced to ten days in the stockade Monday afternoon by Recorder Broyles for alleged criminal mendicancy.

He was arrested on Marietta Street Saturday night by Policeman Covington, who testified that, although Moore had been soliciting alms with a deaf and dumb sign on his breast, he had been caught talking to Detective Rosser.

Moore, it was stated, went into a Marietta Street saloon following the alleged conversation with the detective.

He extended a pad which contained the writing:

"I am deaf and dumb. Please contribute."

"Better beat it, bo! That was a detective you were talking to."

Testimony was to the effect that the mendicant had been caught as he was "beating" it out the rear door on the bartender's tip.
