TEMPLE OF JUsTICE.
The Rough and Tumble Fight on Hill
Street.-The Girls acknowledgement
about Load of Hay.
Long before the time for the opening of
court yesterday morning, every seat of the
Municipal Court was occupied outside the
rails by a motley crowd of young men and
hoary heads drawn thither, no doubt, by the
anticipation of a feast of sweet-scented gar
bage to glut their morbid appetites. When
the three female defendants in the Hill street
imbroglio made their appearance necks were
craned and eyes strained, while satyr-like
grin wrinkled up the parchment faces of
snowy-headed and grizzled-headed veterans
in eager anticipation of the orgie. They
were disappointed, however, for the man
Padden was not in court, and City Attorney
Murray rightly would not go on with
the case till he was there. An Off
Ger was accordingly sent for him,
but soon returned without him, bringing
| instead of his man letter containing a
medical certificate testifying to the fact that
| Padden was unfit to appear. Mr.. Murray
insisted upon the man being brought into
court, stating that a physician said that he
was quite well enough to attend. The
officer sent to bring the man in was ques-
toned. and stated that he went for Padden
and found him with his head bound up, but
otherwise appearing all right. He told him
that he must come, or forfeit his bail. The
reply was 81 won't come, and the bail be
After this statement Judge O. Brien ordered
the man into court and called his bail, Pat
Egan, whom he instructed to have Padden
in court by 9 o'clock, or the bail would be
| forfeited.
| Mr.. Masterson asked for separate trial
for the women asserting that it was an
injustice to place them side by side with the
two male prisoners. His application was not
admitted. and the five were ordered to be in
court at 2 p. m. The three women, Kate
Hatton, Eva Vernon and Perley Hennese
each entered complaint against Luke Pad
den and Yves. Ryan for assault and battery
and then withdrew.
The disappointed crowd now withdrew
not thinking the next case State vs.. Fabiesk
contained sufficient spice to glut their insa
tate and debased appetites.
