Smack of Kiss Echoes Through Record of Court Judge Reverses Decision in Complaint of Pretty Girl Against Waist Shop . Proprietor. The “smack" of a kiss alleged to have been planted on the face of Ethel Laird. 17, 2721 Bristol street, by Ben Ross amid the silken finery of his New York Waist shop, 222 South Sixteenth street, echoes on. Judge Wappicli of municipal court has added volume to the ocsulatory echoes by reversing himself, rewrit ing records of the easq, and announc ing that in his opinion the position of Miss Laird has been vindicated. Here's the history of “the kiss:" Time—Last Saturday. Place—A dressing room in an under sidewalk section of Ross’ shop, which contains a wealth of women's unmen tionables and racks profusely hung with pretty clones. On Second Visit. Miss Laird mado lier second visit to the shop, according to her story, to try on a garment and went to a dress ing room. Ross followed her, sho testified in municipal court Tuesday. “He grabbed and kissed me, and said ‘Don’t be bashful,’ ” she testi fied. ”1 did no(,” 'Ross swore, “an Kaster shopping crayd swarmed the store.” And five girl employes of his shop testified Miss Laird and Ross were not alone at any time anft that the kissing diil not take place. Olga Bennken, 19, 2411 Harney street, companion to Miss Laird, said it did. Judge Wappich held the testimony was overwhelming In Ross’ favor and discharged him. Wednesda the judge reopened the case and wrote in the records that Ross was found guilty and placed under suspended sentence of 90 days. “It was the first time 1 have made such an announcement in court," he said Thursday, "but I received so many phone calls from parents who told me about the experiences of their daughters that I am convinced justice erred and that untrustworthy testimony was offered in Ross' be half. I can't call him back to an swer the charge again but I can re vise the records and give Miss Laird the justice I feel is due her." Charges Blackmail. Ross charged Wednesday afternoon that it was an attempt to "blackmail provable by three witnesses.” J. R. Laird, former county judge of Knox county, father of Miss Laird, said Thursday he was consulting other courts with a view to renewed action. “I have the utmost contempt for a father who would accept cash satis faction In a case of this kind.” ho said. “1 look upon my daughter's situation as entailing sacrifices, hut consider ourselves agents of Justice for society, and look upon it as our bounden duty to try to wipe out a social cancer." Miss Laird was employed at the If Omaha was still a frontier TOWN And if we might have a few “wild” cow punchers to ride in each pay day . . . not.to shoot up the tdwn, but to visit the un scrupulous merchant who sells falsely “branded” merchandise. Then we would read in the press of the man who tried to take money under false pretense, but failed. But why, you will say, should Pray ask for such times to return? Here is our answer: We are the Sole Agents in Omaha for The Genuine EARL & WILSON SHIRT. Years back these shirts were commonly called ‘‘E. & W.” shirts. They have deliv ered service, because they are honorably made of the finest materials. Dealers and manufacturers envy the Earl & Wilson reputation. Today there is a firm manufacturing shirts whose film initials are the same as those of Earl & Wilson. They, too, have chosen to call their shirts “E. & W.” Unscrupulous merchants buy these “sale” shirts. They hold false sales. The unthink ing and unsuspecting public rush in at seeing ridiculous prices placed upon their favorite brand eft shirts. They find later that they have been BUNCOED. That the VALUE was false. Sometimes these people never learn that a BUNCO game has been played. They turn against EARL & WILSON shirts un justly. They tell their friends of how they were STUNG on "E. & W.” shirts. § Now you understand why we want a few cow-punchers. It is a Pray Policy to sell Honest merchandise. To give Honest VALUES and HONEST SERVICE. We are proud to be the EXCLUSIVE dealer of such a wonderful brand of shirts. We are proud to advertise them. BUT WE DO NOT WANT the influence of our advertising to pave the way for BUNCO PLAYERS. BEWARE OF “E. & W.” SHIRT SALES. INSIST upon getting a GENUINE EARL & WILSON SHIRT and then you will realize just why this famous brand-marked shirt is so widely imitated. 1908 Famam Street TWO STORES— 1509 Famam Street m Ethel l.aird.
