Bel. Summers alias Anne Williams, Minus Travis Anna Adams, and Cors Livingston alias Mary Ellis, were brought up and required to answer the charge of being women of evil name and reputation, and occupying a private box on the floor of the dress circle in the Marshall Theatre, in a place set apart for respectable people.--The females are of the flash order, and well known about the city. It appears that on Friday night some person having a knowledge of their personal appearance identified them in one of the private boards. and informed the city police. The latter repacked to the private box and hutted his suspicion, when the inmates and a man who accompanied them declared they were respectable ladies resident of Culpeper county in the city on a visit. Other evidence being brought forward, the true character of the parties was established, and they were taken off to the upper station-house for the night. The Mayor required the escort to give $200 security to be of good behavior on the charge of associating with the above parties. The latter were required to give the same surety for their good behavior.
