THE COURTS.

CRIMINAL C0URT-JUdge HdgneT.
Yesterday after our report closed Morris Con-
ner's, assaulting officer, motion for q new trial
oyerruled. The court in deciding this case re-
ferred to the abuse the police officers receive
The practice was becoming too common, he
said, OF abusing policemen, and when parties
room the faithful on1cer, who, as in this case,
was lenient, is spoken of as the party who should
be on trial and the assaulter WIS the poor un-
fortunate victim OF the police. Ghe manner In
which officers are spoken of Is calculated to
weaken the force and to make the public show
but little respect for them. The district At
torney here called the courts attention to Oficer
Layton having been shot by some party the
night before and the court said: 81 don't won
der at it. for Ii he Is the mScreant he was repre-
sented to be when last he appeared in court he
ought to be shot" He had no sympathy with
parties who are continually abusing the police
He thanked God that the assailants Of the police
are In the minority. There was only one thing
that prevented him from sending the accused to
the penitentiary, and that was that he fought
with his natural weapons and did not have q
pistol or the dastardly razor. The court imposed
q sentence OF SIX months. and advised him that
he should endeayor to teach bis associates to
respect the police.
