Madame Wilton's, No. 51 Pennsylvania Ave, near the corner of 22nd street, was raided by the police. Arrested were: Julia Sinclair, "an old crone apparently sixty years of age," Florence G. Harris, Ada Sheppard, Lizzie Richards, Elizabeth A. Forest and Cornelia Melville. Justice Drury "required them to give bond for their good behavior." Madam Wilton was not there "and the police suppose she is a myth."
