persons in the neighborhood before he came to
Mr.. Browns. He pretended to be parayzed in
his arm. Mr. Brown recognized him as an inn
poster, and attempted to put him under arrest,
when he ran and Mr.. Brown, who was bare
headed and barefoOted. gave chase and ran him
about half a mile before he caught him. At the
station-house he was found to be putting on the
paralysis, and on being searched $24.O2 was
found in belt around his waist. In the Police
Court this morning he said he was stranger
and was crippled. and did not know the law
The court told him the crippled arm business
was not worth a cerltin this town, and he would
impress the law upon his mind by giving him
twenty days in the w'orkhOuse.
