MONDAY MORNING.

MONDAY MORNING..
The Array which 1t Brought at the Temple
Of Justice--A Good Deal Of Trial but Very
Little Convictfon--Jenny Green Not
Ready for Hearing.
Yesterday, as foretold in the GLOBE, proved
field day in the municipal court. The
attendance created by prurient curiosity,
was immense. The benches and aisles
were crammed with heterogeneous mass of
unwashed humanity, among which were
prominent by contrast the slick locks and
refulgent shirt bosoms of various "sports,''
attracted by the desire to see how some of
their pals would fare under the hands of
offended law and decency.
The decks having been cleared for action
by the disposal of the odds and ends Of
DRINKS and vagrancies, the case of
LENA JOHNSON
was called. Officers Nugent and O'Keefe
testified that Lena place was anything but
savory. 1t was the resort of women
Of a low order, of whom some four or FIVE
course, Lena denied all this, but she was
fined $15, and, in default, was forwarded to
the House of the Good Shepherd for thirty
days.
Samuel Quivilan and Andrew Smith,
pulled at the same time with Lena, con-
fessed they had just stepped into the house
on their first visit, when they were nabbed by
the officers. Their cases were continued
until Wednesday.
ELIZA BURDETT AND s. EDWARDS,
both colored, were the next candidates.
Capt. Webber and Sergeant Clark
detailed the sspull.'' The officers
stated the house had been the frequent SUBJ
ject of complaint. Eliza was foolish enough
to take the stand and testify in her own be-
half, and said she had ordered Edwards
away. He was only lying across the bed.
Then the city attorney wormed out of her
that she had not called in the police to take
Edwards away, but had concluded to let him
stay all night. The woman was fined $50
and costs, which were paid. Edwards dis
played considerable insolence, and the court
decisiyely said, Guilty, $40 and COSTS
which took the ginger out of S. E.
JENNIE GREEN
was soon temporarily disposed of by order
ing her commitment, in default Of $500
bail, until Wednesday. to which time the case
was continued.
BOB. BROOM AND PAT. CONNOLLY
were the next on the judicial gridiron. They
were tried separately. Broom's case being
called first, W. W. Erwin, Esq, said Mr..
Mead had been engaged as counsel by the
prisoner, but was not present, and post
ponement was desired. County Attorney
Rogers, for the prosecution, objected, and he
would only wait until messenger was sent
for Mr.. Mead, and returned. Mr.. Erwin
| then undertook the defense, and the trial
proceeded.
The only witness sworn was Kate Hutton.
She said Connolly came to her house some
where about one o'clock on Thursday
morning last. He called for bottle of ale
which she procured for him. There was no
one else present in the parlor where they
were sitting. Broom came in shortly after
Connolly, and the following conversation
Immediately ensued:
Broom--What are you doing here?
Connelly-What any other man is doing.
! B.-You had better take walk.
c., throwing back his coat-If you think
you can put me out, you had better try it.
Kate Hutton-Don't kick up row here.
am in trouble enough. For my sake, if
for nothing else, don't make fuss.
| Broom then picked up the ale bottle and
threw it at Connolly, but it missed the latter
and went through the window.
! County attorney kind of bottle
was it?
Z. HIT was common ale bottle.
| G. A.-Well, what kind of bottle?
e. H.-You know what an ale bottle u.s.
guess.
Witness continued: Connolly then drew
his revolver and fired. She heard the re-
port of the pistol. She had looked
since for the ball, but had been unable to
find it.
Officer Murphy said he heard the crashing
of glass and the firing of the pistol.
The court held there was not sufficient evi-
dence of felonious assault to warrant Broom's
being bound over to appear before the grand
jury, and dismissed the case.
The evidence in Connellys case was lust
the same as in the foregoing, excepting that,
in ecross- examination by G. D. O'Brien,
Hutton said that Broom was either out of
the room or just leaving it when Connolly
fired, and she was very indefinite as to her
knowledge of the direction in which Con
nelly fired.
Detective Brisette testified that he found a
pistol upon Connolly when he arrested the
latter. The case was then dismissed.
During Connelly's trial, Broom had taken
seat among the spectators. The decision
| Of the court being pronounced, he proceeded
to the door, which he had but opened when
Sergeant Clark called out,
GROOM, COME HERE
and the festive Broom found himself again
prisoner upon the penitent bench, charged
with frequenting house of iQ-fame. The
surprise and disgust of Broom at this unex-
pected turn of affairs were depicted upon
his countenance in unmistakable lines. The
complaint was made by Sergeant Clark, who
had been figuring away thereon while the
unconscious Bob was listening to Kate Hut
toms testimony in the Connolly case.
The evidence is understood to
be SO conclusive that the sergeant
feels confident of conviction. Recovering
from his establishment, Broom requested the
case continued until 3 o'clock on Wednes-
day afternoon. This request was granted,
and the bail fixed at 800. Broom then
passed 'roun de sasser'' among the ''sports''
in the audience, bat failed to secure bail in
the room, finally, however, succeeding, I'M
der the escort of an officer, in obtaining
Garrian Weaver to sign his bond.
The episode ended, the spectators began
to leave the room, the Sports as if each
was in fear it would be his turn next, being
almost precipitate in their exit.
PAT coNNELLY's SECOND CHARGE,
came up for hearing at 2 o'clock in the after
noon. This consisted in assaulting James
n. Farrell with pistol. Pat had the affair
all to himself, as neither the county attorney
nor the prosecuting witness appeared, and
