#MittieMoore Captured | Roswell Daily Record April 5, 1917
The present city administration, carrying out its program inaugurated some time ago for a better and leaner Roswell, yesterday caused the arrest of Mittie Moore, a colored woman living on South Virginia avenue, charging her with prostitution. She was arraigned before Judge Parsons yesterday afternoon and entered a plea of guilty at which .tune her case was set for hearing at 3 'clock this afternoon. Mittie Moore is an old offender' against the city and a character well known to the city police department. For many days she has been under the close supervision of the city police and yesterday night policeman Jim Johnson secured the last link in the chain. Mayor Mullis and the present administration are to be highly complimented on their efforts to "clean-up" They are making long 'strides in the right direction and many other offenders are at present treading on rather slippery ground and unless either right their ways or depart from these parts forever will one day find themselves before the bar of judgment and the judgment is to be no, joke either.
