And dishes out justice, fair aud square,
| In monstrous doses.

youth OF eighteen years was charged by Mr..
J. ]. Guthrie of the Methodist Book Con-
cern, with insulting several young ladies in
the employ of the Concern while they
passed to and fro from their work along
Home street. The ladies testified that
Wiegleman's conduct towards them was
most outrageous Judge Wilson asked the
prisoner if he had anything to say about
the charge against him. He replied that
he had not, "Well, then" continued His
Honor "the sentence OF the Court is thirty
| Io, H. -
| the full extent of the law; if could give
you a heavier sentence should most GER
tainly do So"
Christian Schemp, the keeper of the sa-
loon at the foot Of Lawrence street, was
tried for assaulting Henry Swope, gentle
man from Lexington, KY. From the testi-
mony it was shown that last Monday
Swopc, who was on his way to Newport,
dropped into Schemps saloon for glass OF
beer, which he paid for. Upon leaving the
room Schemp called upon him to pay for
the beer again, which, to avoid any diff
Guilty, he agreed to do; but before he
(Swope) could get out his money Schemp
jumped upon him and assaulted him fear
fully. Besides this he set large blood
hound upon him, which bit Swope several
times, and tore his clothes all to pieces.
The evidence further showed that Schemp
has very bad character; that he is dreaded
by the police, and has been arrested several
times for various ofenses. Judge Wilson
in disposing OF the case, made the following
remarks:
From the evidence in the case itseems
that Swope entered the saloon of Schemr
and called for glass Of beer, which he paid
for, but that Schemp was under the i'm
preston that he had not. Now of course
when man goes into bar-room and calls
for glass of beer, the bar-keeper expect:
his pay; but then he must not assault the
person so ordering the drink. From the
testimony VIM. Schemp is guilty of assault
and battery; but there are two circum
stances which prevent me from giving
: him the full extent of the law one il
that believe Schemp was under the i'm
preston the beer was not paid for; th'
other is that don't believe Schemp set th,
dog upon Swope. This man is very vic.
lent man; l know him well; he has beer
arrested and convicted several times; once
for shooting at a little boy and then throw
ing him in the river; at another time o.
firing a musket at Officer Mckenzie wher
he went there to arrest Schemp. The &C
cused has even told me himself that he KEEP
that dog there for the very purpose of set
ting him on persons that refused to pay fol
drinks. The sentence OF the Court will
therefore, be three months in the Work
house."
Schemps attorneys immediately filed {
motion for new trial.
