In the Tombs police court, in this city, as a
complainant on petty case, being drunk at
the time. He had sufficient respect for his

drunken carousals. In hotels where he
stopped he invariably registered himself as a
physician although when in trouble he
paraded himself as Catholic clergyman in
order to help himself out of it.
