CHICKEN STEALING.-Last night at about
u o'clock special officer Howe heard a dis
turbance among the chickens upon the alley
between Eighth and Ninth, G and H
streets, and going to the place found two
Cinnamon, named All Quay and All Nuey,
coming away, and All Quay having a
couple of chickens in front under his
ulster. All Nuey started TO run when he
saw the officer but understood Eng
lish sufficiently Sc that when he was told
to halt or he would be shot, he
came to time, and was marched, with
his companion and the chickens, to
the stati0n-house. All Nuey asserted his
innocence very strongly, and claimed that
he had not been near the chickens, but
upon being searched by officer Ferral it was
found that he had just been underneath
chicken-roost, and at such an unfortunate
moment that he brought away with him
fresh evidence of the fact on the top of his
hat. They were both locked up for hearing
to-day.
CONFESSED VAGRANoY. Frank Booth, of
whose bilking operations an account was
given yesterday, in which he obtained aid
from the Towards for himself and "Yife,
and procured money as charity from others,
was brought before the Police Court yester-
day, and pleaded guilty to the charge of
vagrancy and of obtaining the various sums
of money as heretofore stated. He gave an
extended account of himself and his travels,
placing himself on the sunny side of many
places of distinction, and intended to convey
the impression that his present condition is
far below his real gauge. He says his real
name is James Franklin Marmion Booth.
There is probably more. but that is all he
mentioned. After hearing his statement, his
case was postponed until to-day, when he will
receive the Judgment of the Court. The
woman who is his companion in travel was
discharged from custody.
