The Dundee Murder - Suspect Arrested in England
A man said to be Charles White or Doherty "wanted" in connection with the Ann Street murder has been arrested by the Cheshire Police. So satisfied are the Dundee authorities that the person in custody is the object of hue and cry which has traversed the country that last night two officers - Criminal Officer Charles and Superintendent Detective Lakie - left the city to bring the suspect to Dundee. They travelled by train at 9.15 from the West Station. The arrest was made at Northwick, which is about 12 miles from Chester.
Sunday Football on Dundee Streets
Sunday football and disturbances on the part of the youth of the city are becoming so common that strong steps are being taken to have such conduct put down. At Dundee Police Court on Saturday three batches of boys came before Baille Crichton for breaking Sunday quietude.
In a back court in Dallfield Walk four boys were interrupted in an enjoyable game of football. Three of the lads were fined 1s, while a previous offender had finded 2s 6d while the alternative being on days imprisonment. The residents in Little John Street for weeks have been disgusted that spectators of both senior and junior Sunday football matches, and matters became unbearable that an "anonymous letter signed "A Disgusted Spectator" was sent to Chief Con. Dewar.
On Sunday 1st March two plain clothes constables captured eight lads engaged in "horse-play". A fine of 2s or one days imprisonment was imposed on each. For fully half a hour ten boys indulged in "kick" in Market Street. When the police came upon the scene over 100 persons were watching the proceedings. A nominal penalty of 1s or one day, was also imposed.
