THE PEELEss' PROTAGES.

THE PEELESS' PROI1GE S.
A Large Number of Them Arraigned Be-
fore the Police Court Yesterday-A Scene
Bet ween Lawyer and the Court Which
RESULT to the Disadvantage of the For
mer.
Another ''scene" took place in the po-
lice court yesterday morning which to-
gether with the usual run of business,
made the circus quite animated and in
teresting. The case of August Lee, the
ringleader of the gang that raised such a
blooming row at the Central house dance
Saturday night, was called and MIR. W. c.
Goforth appeared as counsel for the de-
PENDANT. A large grist of testimony was
heard, being about the same as was sub
mitted at the hearing of the other de-
PENDANTS last Monday. The only addition
al testimony was that of Minnie Johnson
modest maiden with tiny blonde frizzes,
and another commonplace damsel who had
attended the dance. It was shown that
defendant had drawn knife ard that the
row had taken place because of the prefer
ences of certain of the young ladies. In
reviewing the case the court alluded to
| the former good character
of the defendant, in view of which he said
he would only impose the light fine of $50
or 60 days.
| Mr.. Goforth then arose and asked for q
rehearing and new trial. The court said
the motion would be denied.
The following short but pointed colo
guy then ensued:
Ennnsal-GTf the cnurt nlaasa0
The conrt-"The counsel will be seated
Counsel-"But, your honor"
| The coure-"Tdice O seat, SIR"
| The counsel refused the mandate and
continued standing, when stern express
sion came over the face of the court and he
said, ''the clerk will enter fine of $40
| against the counsel" The fine was after
| wards RENTED by the court.
The case of Joseph Gordian and Chris
tina Carrier presented some rather racy
and extraordinary features. They were
arraigned on the charge of adultery
the complaint having been made
| by Treffiee Carrier, the husband of the
woman and a very welldressed and good
looking young man. The defendant, Mrs
Carrier, is a blue-eyed buxom woman OF
perhaps thirty five, with rosy cheeks and
black hair; she appeared in court with heI
two children. On the other hand the de-
PENDANT Gordian is a sawed-off looking
man, with bushy, mutton chop whiskers
| and of the most commonplace appearance
but as the proverb says there is no &C
counting for tastes, and she may have had
her reasons. The hearing was continued
until Friday, but the parties afterwards
got together and fixed the thing up.
@. N. Conrose, little pale-faced old
man with a thin whisker like that worn by
the sage of Chattaqua, was up again for
drunkenness. He said he was not guilty
and that he had been sick, but as he had
been up the day before the court gave him
thirty days. Then he sat down by the ice
cooler and after adjusting his
false teeth he put on lar de da
cap and sauntered deliberately
up to the bench, another case being in
progress. About this time General
Shields got onto the crank and waltzed
him back to the bull pen.
Mike Rafferty, looked like bowery bum
or shoulder hitter. His mustache was
dyed black and so were his eyes. Ee sale
the officer had knocked him down and he
went up for five days.
August Anderson, another bum, was
tricked out in a blue blouse and his nost
was a beautiful crimson. He said he had
been sick and the officer said he had beer
paralyzed. He will do the grand act fol
five days.
John Becker is a tramp and bum o.
the lowest character. He was charged
with cabbaging coat from Abrahsmson':
store and will languish in dungeon Gel
for sixty days.
Tom White and VIM. Kettinger were
arrslgned for stealing sstchel and cut
ting it open. 1t WAS shown that White
was the guilty one and he received dosG
which will last him for sixty days. Tn,
other man was discharged.
The cases of Frank Kohant alias tn,
Bohemian Bull'' charged with assaultiue
Henry Fries, and Ohss. Loder, charged
with asssulting Thos, Brennan, were con
tinued until Friday.
