Wicked Women: Notorious, Mischievous, and Wayward Ladies from the Old West.
According to the July 19, 1897 edition of the Woodland Daily Democrat, the soiled doves and wicked women of Hillertown have finally come to the conclusion that the officers mean business in attempting to rid the city of their class, and the afore mentioned doves have agreed to leave at an early date. This morning District Attorney Hopkins and Officers Lee, Hughes, and Dawson went down to Hillertown and told the damsels that if they would leave their cases of vagrancy against them would not be prosecuted. All the landlords and the inmates of their homes said they would go except Annie Goodrich, who became quite dignified and told the officers that she would think about it. The officers agreed to take her to a cool place to meditate over the matter and placed her under arrest. She was taken before Judge Lampton and after thinking the matter over, concluded to plead guilty. She was removed to the county jail to await sentencing. The Judge issued a statement warning all wicked women against visiting Hillertown again.
