ath. The affair was highly ludicrous and

Of obtaining u large amount OF goods under
false pretence, in connection with James w.
Jeflries, about the 10th of July, 1915, from Mr..
Benjamin Orrck, in the employ of Rcards s
Hoffman. The parties purchased goods to the
amount of Sl,6l9 50, on the faith of draft
drawn by Jno. Bowen, of Columbus, Ohio,
on Warren T. jenkins, OF New York, in favor
of James w. Jeffres, for the sum of SO, 60O.-
The evidence went to prove that Brady had
come to Baltimore in company with Jeffries,
from Bloomington, Iowa, for the alIedged pur-
pose Of purchasing goods, for the firm of JEFF
fries s Spencer, Of that place. That they prof.
fered for payment or as security therefor, the
above draft, which was subsequently proven to
have been forgery or fabrication, and that no
such person as Bowen was in existence, or
could be found. 1t was also in evidence that
Brady was in fact in the employ of the firm in
Bloomington, of Jeffries & Spencer, and wit
nesses on the part Of the State, swore to the
acceptance on the face of the draft, as being in
Brady's handwriting as was also letter which
the parties produced; aledging it to have been
written by Warren y. Jenkins, of n. I in
reference 10 the payment ofthe draft. The de-
fence contended that although Brady was in
company with JeitHes, he was not cognizant
of any design on the part of Jelfries to defraud
Rcards S Hoffman, the traverser being under
the impression that the draft was genuine. The
case was ably argued by the prosecution, and
counsel for the traverser when it was given to
the Jury, who after retiring to their room a
short time, returned with verdict of "guilty.'
Mr.. Richardson, for the State; Messrs. Pitts and
White for the traverser. The court adjourned
until this morning.

Fun Spoiled. Persons who live on the low
or end of Hartford Run, have been at loss for
several days past to account for the complete
stopPage of the water in the stream. Yester-
day, however, officers Ray and Gamble dis
covered the cause of the strange phenomenon,
in large dam, some five or six feet high, built
in the Run, between Monument and Madison
streets, by party of about one hundred uve-
nile specimens of men, for the purpose ofa
bathing pond. The construction of the dam
exhibited considerable skill in youthful engi-
neering, being perfectly water tight, and we'll
finished, and which the officers to the sad dis
appointment of the boys were compelled to des-
troy. A number were in the pond bathing at
the time of its discovery, who scampered off
zen dishabille,n at rapid rate. Hartford Run
is therefore at liberty to flow in its usual course,
until the boys may feel inclined again to dam
its waters.
CarsIessneSs. A small boy was knocked
down and run over by an omnibus, on the
Point, on Monday afternoon, but fortunately
escaped with but trif1ing injury. We wonder
that many such accidents do not occur, on ac-
count of the gross carelessness, and we might
add recklessness, ofthe drivers of various kinds
Of vehicles, In every instance the driver, uu-
less he could indisputably prove it to be acct
dental, should be punished to the full extent Of
the law; it would result benefcially.
