ing this morning in the Police Court. District
Attorney Coyle claimed that case had been
made out for action of the grand jury. Mr..
Darlington for defence claimed a dismissal of his
client on the ground of variance between the
allegations set forth in the warrant and the evil
dence before the court. Mr.. Coyle claimed that
the warrant was immaterial, and upon the main
facts the case had been made out The evidence
had fully sustained the charges. 1t will be
timony given by Pearson in case OF charges of
diSOrderly conduct against SturgiS and O'Bren.
The court sent the case to the grand jury, bonds

was much too common in this District Here is
case when the penalty Is but $5-a case OF dis
orderly conduct. He thought the courts should

has been quite business done in transfers, by
