| The Swatll that Encountered ud.e FIJI nt's
Scythe Yesterday Morning.
The municipal court room was unusually
well filled with spectators yesterday mora
ing, although none of the developments pre-
sented were of any considerable moment.
William Jones, colored, claimed that GER
tain moneys were due him for certain SER
vices performed. In default of obtaining
his wages, he seized barn door lock belong
ing to his employer and otherwise behaved
himself unseemly. He was fined So and
COSTS but proceedings were stayed until to-
day.
John Smith-the name is somewhat for
eign in sound-confronted Judge Flint with
one pepper in mourning and with the other
very blea1y. He stood up and said he was
guilty of being disorderly, and 80 Topped
over $3 and costs.
John Gabriel is German who seems
to be pretty decent sort of fellow
when sober, but q devil incarnate
Wien intoxicated. His brother-in-Iaw
said Yesterday that the defendant threatened
one d " last week to ''make him (the wit
9ss) into ten thousand pieces.'' The de-
| fandant's wife declared her own brother was
| the cause of all the trouble, and she other
wise demonstrated the truth of the thrice told
tale that some wives, however shamefully
they may be treated, will yet testify in behalf
of their brutal LEG. lords. Gabriel was fined
$50 and costs, which he paid.
The case of John Lyons, continued from
| the day before, was resumed. The testi-
mony adduced was with one exception, on for
| the defense. Patrolmen Gibbons swore to
Lyons and his companion, Meier, being in
the savings bank at CLIO or 6:15 P. M John
Minor saw them on Third street between
4:3O and. 5 P. NJ. Ed. Stahlmann proved that
the two partook of lemonade in Stahl-
mann's saloon, 81 Wabashaw street, at 5:15
P. NJ. Maurice Lyons, father of the defend
ant testified that his son was at supper at
his home on Sixth, between jackson and
slbley, during the time between little be-
fore $50 and 700 p. NJ,
when there was nothing unusual
about his appearance or manner. Another
witness saw Lyons in Rec parkat PM.
Mrs. Pepper, aunt of Charles Koch, the man
shot at, testified to the original knock-down
and to the shooting. She felt certain that
Lyons did the shooting, but was entirely at
sea IN her assurance as to the minute grounds
OF his identity and declared she could not
identify his two companions in any case,
although they stood close to him. The case
was continued until this morning,
Michael Daley, charged with an assault
and battery upon one florence, in the Sixth
Ward, on Sunday night, pleaded guilty, but
explalne that he was sitting outside LANCE
WINS saloon when Lauderdale and Terrence
came out. They were struggling and fight
ing. The defendant went forward to sonar
ate them, but, as Lauderdale was cripple
and was getting the worst of it, the defend
ant sailed in, or in his own language, 81 hit
him CTorrence) along the jaw, I guess
Daley paid $40 and costs.
Michael O'Brien and John Green, Sixth
warders accused of rowdyism some DAYS ago.
ard whose case was continued from time to
time, were discharged on payment of costs.
Neither defendant appeared; not a witness
was sworn. In point of fact, it has all the
appearance of being another case wherein
the power behind the throne has been again
exercised.
Mrs. Grant and her son Richard appeared
to respectively answer charges of disorderly
and assault, alleged to have been committed
at about IL P. NJ. of Sunday last. Two young
men named Martin and Amos were passing
Mrs. Grants house on West Third street,
when Richard Gran. was standing in the door
with young lady. Deeming some remark
uttered by Martin and Amos applied to him.
Richard Grant waded in, but only succeeded
IN getting thorough thrashing. Then Mrs.
Grant commenced the wading-in process by
yelling police and raising the whole neigh
borhood, which induced Officer O'Keefe to
lock her up after doing all he could to pacify
her. Mrs. Grant called some dozen wit
nesses to prove she had never been drunk or
dlsorderly, and the way the witnesses dis
claimed ever having been in her honsa or
even knowing her at all, in some instances.
