who lives on West Main street, was
assaulted in the alley in the rear OF his
residence, beaten in brutal manner
and robbed OF his watch, valued at S2O,

old man and frankly admits that he
might have been slightly "full, but he
never gets so "full' that he dOeSn I
know what he is about. The attack
was made about 10 o'clock at night. Mr..
Green recognized his assailant as james
Williams, who has already served one
term in the penitentisry for beating a
man. Williams was arrested, but sue
ceeded at the preliminary hearing in
proving an abb.

ALLOWED TO SELL BEER ON
SUNDAY.

The Widow Schneider keeps road house in the
little square known as 'Highbridge Park" bounded
by Tenth avenue. l75th street and Harlem River.
This breathing spot is controlled by the Department
of Parks. Last Sunday officer William Hahn. of the
Carmansve police while strolling through the Park
noticed that Mrs. Schedler's bar open and that
liquor was being sold without restraint. He APP
preached the bartender, Charles Steffn and,
laying his hand the latters shoulder, told
him to consider himself under arrest for
violating the Sunday Excise law. But Stetin de-
cned go with the officer. saying that Mrs. Sched-
Ter had received full authority from the Park Com
missioners to sell liquor Sundays the as
other days. As Stefiu made the remark Park
policeman in uniform up and informed his
brother of the regular force that Mr. Sten had told
the truth and that he 1.-THE Park keeper had received
instructions to protect the widow, and that her
place open by courtesy of the Commissioners.
officer Hahn made no further attempt to arrest
Steffn but reported the facts to Captain Harry
Steers. at the Thirty-second precinct station.
Yesterday the Captain called upon Justice Wheeler
and stated the case. A warrant at once issued
and yesterday afternoon Mr. Stetfin, the widows
Police Court. He admitted the charge preferred
against him, but threw the responsibility for his
conduct upon the Park Commissioners. Justice
Wheeler held him in 800 bail to answer in the Gen
eral Sessions aud sent the papers to the District At
torney with the following indorsement:-
This should be attended and settle the question
to whether the Park Commissioners can legally
thorize sale of liquor parks Sundays
whether policemen Jurisdiction in parks
to the exclusion OF the municipal police.

A PADRONE'S VICTIM.

Officer Chiardi. of the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Children, yesterday appeared in the
Court of Special Sessions with small Italian boy
named Laynio Feletti, only thirteen years old,
wretchedly clad, his left foot badly deformed and
using stick to support himself He testified that
the boys father Nardo Feett was the padrone. and
had imported Nuzzo. his own son. and eleven other
cripples to this country from Italy They arrived in
Philadelphia on the 18th inst and Nuzzo, young Fe
letti and another sent here while the others
were taken to Chicago by Nardo Felett. The reason
the padrone did not land his crpples in New York
owing the strict regulations enforced by the
Commissioners OF Emigration.
Counsellor Racey appeared for the prisoner,
Nuzzo, and asked that he be discharged on the
ground that. although he seemed to have had the
boy in his charge he was himself victim OF the
padrone system. The crippled boy cried bitterly in
the court room, and Mr.. Chiardi said that one or
the padrones had told him he would be- sent to
State Prison he gave any testimony against Nuzzo
The prisoner could not speak word OF English.
Justice Otterbourg said Tine Court has no doubt
OF Nuzzo's guilt. We induced. however, for GER
tain reasons to adopt an unusual course. The pris-
oner Is remaIded tor sentence which Will be regu-
