you want is not listed. The re-
quests will not be hard to remem-
ber because they appear on the
front cover of the new directory
issued recently.
The people generally affected
by these requests will be: (1) Wo-
men who do their visiting over the
telephone; (2) Those persons who
dial information for a number, in-
stead of finding it in the directory
themselves. ,
The first practice ties up lines
and adds a heavier burden to the
already overtaxed lines. The latter
practice not only ties up lines, but
it forces the company to hire girls
who could be doing vital work in
a defense plant.

Denies Rape; His
Refusal To Give
S5.00 Was Cause
By TED WILLIAMS
HOUSTON.—In an exclusive interview with an Informer
reporter, Willie Lee, 22, of 608 Andrews street, who is in
Jefferson Davis hospital suffering from the after effects of
having two inches of his person severed in an alleged ab-
normal relationship with a young woman early Saturday
morning, March 13, denied that ----—----------------—
there was any rape committed by the door. Lee said he wandered
him. He admitted, however, that
he had been the victim of teeth.
In giving his version of the af-
fair, Lee stated that he met the
woman in a cafe on Dowling and
she approached him in regards to
having a date with him. He took
her up on the proposal in as much
as she didn’t mention money in
the deal. It was the result of his
being unable to give her the
amount she wanted after the re-
lationship had been consummated
that she in retaliation bit off sev-
eral inches of his person. He em-
phasized the point that his rela-
tionship with her was a mutual
understanding rather than one
forced upon her.
Because of the seriousness of
Lee’s condition, authorities have
held him incommunicado. It was
not"untill Friday that the Sheriffs
Department granted an Informer
reporter permission to interview
him his condition permitting
It. Lee was found to be doing fair-
ly well when the reporter was per-
mitted to see him. He was reluc-
tant at first to give any statement
on the affair but after thinking
it over for awhile, he decided that
he should make his version known
to the public.
re-
He reports that he had been to
a dance at the Eldorado and stop-
ped by a cafe to buy a link. While
he was waiting for it to be served,
the woman, who was sitting on a
stool near him, began to talk to
him and asked him if he didn't
want to go with her. He told her
he might. After he had been served,
they left together. A woman call-
ed her and she told the woman that
she’d be back later. They walked
down Elgin toward Jack Yates
high school. When they reached
the school they leaned against the
fence and started to hug and kiss.
This is where they started the re-
lationship. Several cars passed by
‘ as they were in progress.
11 They decided that it was too
much traffic around, so she told
him to come on with her because
she knew a better place. He follow-
ed her to Douglas school where
they continued the intercourse,
Later she complained of being tired
and suggested that they rest. As
they were sitting on the step land-
ing, resting, she asked him for
$5.00. Lee said he was surprised
because she had not previously
mentioned money in the deal. He
told her, however, that he had only
$2.50 and that he would give her
a dollar of that. This did not meet
with her aproval. She inquired if
he didn’t work at the shipyard and
if he hadn’t gotten paid that day.
When informed that he didn’t, she
asked what was he doing in the
type of clothes he was wearing.
Lee said that he told her that he
had been to a barn dance.
All the time they were talking,
she was playing with him in an
intimate fashion. Then Lee asserts,
all of a sudden she bent down and
grabbed him. He tried desperately
to force her to release him, knock-
ing her against the building. When
he finally broke her aloose from
him it was as he said, "too late."
The woman ran off and replied,
“I’ll bet you’ll pay somebody $5."
In a daze, Lee continued, he
knew not where to gc He finally
ran on someone’s porch and knock-
ed. A man came to the door and
turned on his porch light and when
he saw Lee in his pitiful condition,
he cried out, “Somebody call an
ambulance quick,” and then went
back into the house and closed
Costumers Warned
Against Theft Of
Rationed Goods
The theft of rationed goods has
become so common, that the OPA
is calling attention to the fact by
having grocers post notices em-
phasizing the penalties for such
acts.
Those who steal rationed goods
are not committing a common
theft—but they are committing a
crime against the United States
government.
The penalty for such thefts is a
maximum of one year in jail and
a $10,000 fine, an OPA official
pointed out last week. All cases of
this nature would be filed in Fed-
eral courts.
Owner Of Abadie
Tire Company Passes
The death of Mr. H. P. Abadie,
part owner of the Abadie Tire com-
pany here in Houston, was a great
loss to the employees of that com-
pany and to all who knew him.
Mr. Abadie was a man who never
failed a friend regardless to color
or creed. At his funeral which was
very largely attended there was a
car for the colored employees.
Burial was at the Hollywood ceme-
tery.

had the driver take him home. His
brother took him to Jefferson Dav-
is hospital. There he was met by
officers from homicide and the wo-
man who told the officers that he
was the one who had raped her
and tried to force her into an ab-
normal relationship with him. Lee
went on to say that he was sur-
prised and amazed to hear her
charging him with rape.
Lee is being held in the prison
ward of the hospital where he is
under guard. He has been charged
with rape and his trial will be held
as soon as his condition permits.
