Will J. Robbins was busy being mayor of Richmond and sales manager of five municipal produce markets yesterday, but he found time to do a little job of sleuthing for the police, securing evidence which resulted in the arrest last evening of Madame La Verne, 106 .North Sixth street, charged with being a fortune teller. . Today Mayor Robbins swore in A. C. Lindemuth as special city court judge for the' hearing of Madame La Verne's case, and the mayor appeared against he as prosecuting witness. There was no question but that the mayor had the goods on Madame La Verne so Judge Lindemuth found her

guilty and gave her three days' time to leave Richmond with her husband, who does not work, and her three children. Madame Sends Out Dodgers It appears that Madame La Verne had handbills distributed about the city, announcing herself as a premier reader of palms and an adept In other arts of fortune telling. One of these bills found its way into the mayor's home. He investigated and found that the woman .had failed to secure a license to practice her profession. Mayor Robbins then offered his services to Chief Goodwin as a detective to secure Incriminating evidence against the woman. The offer was ac

cepted and the mayor went to Madame La Verne's parlors. Ushered into a plainly ' furnished room the mayor crossed the fortune teller's palm with a dollar. He confided to her that he wanted information concerning the outcome of an r ffair of the heart. "Write your name, the young lady's name and questions yon want answered on a piece of paper. I will leave the room while you ore doing this. When I return have the paper folded in your hand and I will tell you what you want to know," Instructed the madame, leaving the room. Mayor Pens His Questions The mayor began to write. He put down his name as "George Maines" and asked the following questions concerning "Jennie Lewis," a fictitious personage. "Can I get her?" "Does she love me?" "Will she be mine?" "Will she not give up Joe?"

Completing his writing the mayoi tapped a bell and the madame return ed to the room. , She did riot get Xx. look at what the mayor had wrltter but she promptly informed him tha' bis name was George Maines and tha' he wanted information concernlni Jennie Lewis. "She loves you. She do6 not cart for Joe. She cares only for you and you will marry her," said Madame L Verne. The mayor departed and upon his information a warrant was issued fot the arrest of the fortune teller.
