THE Law IND FACTS.

Both Were Introduced in the MunicinaI
Court Yesterday, and Acquitted Them
selves in a Manner That was Both Ad-
mirable and Effective.
Quite an audience, and one more geuer-
ally tinctured with responsibility than
usual, assembled in the municipal court
yesterday, in anticipation of the arraign-
ment and preliminary examination of
Thomas Hanley, the slayer of Thomas Ry-
| an. Ire accused was not present when
the case was called, nor did he make his
appearance until several complaints for
the violation of city ordinances had been
disposed OF. Upon his appearance before
the court an attorney in behalf of G. D.
| OBrlen, of counsel, submitted that the
prisoner desired to waive any
preliminary examination. Thereupon
his honor committed Hanley without bail,
to await the action of the grand jury, and
the latter was returned to Jail. Though
neat and seemingly in the enjoyment of
returning health, the accused bears the i'm
press of man afflicted with a mind dis
eased. He speaks to no one, and if spoken
to, smiles in the faintest way and indicates
his acknowledgment of the inquiry by a
motion of his head. When he was notified
by the balliff that it was time to go back to
the bars and bolts of the county jail, he
| glanced up from the floor at which he had
been gazing, cast hurried look at the
open window, as at picture set in frame
of withered boughs, picked up his hat
with istless air of weariness, and me-
chanically followed his conductor.
A man bearing the highly aristocratic
patronymic of Peyten, family name that
is still preserved in the history::of Virginia,
an enduring epitaph to its founder, was
arraigned yesterday for the crime of at
tempted larceny. From what was let drop
| prior to the case being called, Peyton, is
no doubt the assumed name of an &C
| compllshed hotel sneak. He was found
under suspicious circumstances in the top
| story of the Merchants hotel, and failing
to furnish reasons of a convincing charac-
ter for his presence, was arrested. The
| prosecution was not ready for trial and
Peyton was held to await the examination.
txed for next Tuesday morning.
Charles Olsen, from whose appearance
and language the unsophisticated observer
would regard as off his cabase,
was presented in count, as a veritable vag.
Officer Peltier made the charge, and cited
the occupation of a stable loft near the
corner of Eight and Wacouta streets by
Olsen,as evidence. The prisoner remarked
that the birds were singing and the grass
was growing for him out in the country,
and that he yearned to go out there and
put his hand to the plow. The court told
him to go, but said if he returned to the
city before harvest, he'd have to pay $25
into the treasury.
John Gotaffki grave digger at one of
the cemeteries was called upon to plead to
a charge of beating preferred by his wife.
From her account of the trouble, given
through an interpreter, it seemed as
though the wedding feast had scarcely
been served before John began to lock up
extinguish the lights and beat
her without provocation. He stated
that he had not beaten her more than she
deserved, and gave as an excuse for his
brutality that Lena the wife passed too
much time with her sister, and supplied
the latter with too much of the staff of life
from his larder. He was unable to sup
port but one family at time, and endeav-
ored to impress this fact upon Lena's at
tention with a strap and his fist. The
severity and fined him $40; beside bonds
to keep the peace. The order of court was
complied with and both plaintiff and de-
fep1ant went each his way to their respec-
| tive homes.
| Frank West, accused of stealing watch
and chain from an employe in the stable
of Nichols & Co., was discharged, the evil
| dence being so thin, that surprise was ex-
| pressed that his arrest had been permit
| ted.
Mary Hajek and Mary Pavolick we're in
court yesterday morning according to ar
rangements entered into the day previous.
One of the Marys said the other Mary had
worried herself into a pale and yellow
melancholy because the first named had
stolen away her fellow, and after letting
the worm of jealousy feed on her better
| nature for several days, slapped her mouth
and raised Cain generally. The other
Mary denied all this, averring that
she Lad remained passive under indigni-
| ties that would enrage a priestess, and
called names unknown without the vocab-
ulary of Petticoat Lane. The court, while
both girls were taking an inviting rest,
got chance to tell them their conduct
was disgraceful, and if they didn't go
home and put on the wings of angelic
sweetness, one toward the other, he'd
put them where they'd suffer
more in a minute than they could relate in
an hour. That settled the business and
both left the court room smiling.
Charles Bressler, an old ''sojer,'' was ar
rested yesterday afternoon for the larceny
of a coat and hat, and before dusk had
been sentenced to the bridewell for ninety
days. E. Kielburg, for sleeping in the
park, accompanied Bressler to the resort
Of impecunious buns for similar period
of time. j. johnson and o. G. Alcrist
were brought into court just before tea time,
charged with disturbing the peace of Sew
enth street. Their cases will be heard
this morning.
