wild Cat Sam Sentenced to Six
Months on Each Indictment.
The regular quarterly February term of
the City Court was adjourned yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, when the court
was convened ia regular order for the
May term. The attention of the court was
occupied until about 1890 o'clock in try
ing action on notes and accounts and en-
tering up judgments, but no business of
interest to the general reader was trans
acted.
The regular monthly criminal session
OF the court was held at 4 O'clock IN the
afternoon, when number Of cases were
called for trial.
The negro Sidney Clark alias e'The
Kid" alias "Wild Cat Sam" who was ar
rested few DAYS ago after attempting to
negotiate with Elias Muhlberg for an adj
vance on some chewing tobacco, plead
guilty to three separate charges OF lar
ceny and was sentenced for each offense
to be imprisoned six months.
About three weeks ago a conductor
named Ennis of the Barnard street divi-
sion of the CITY and Suburban railway
was, as he stated in the City Court yes
terday, in the habit of striking a
negro, named George Washing
ton, playfully on the breast whenever
the street car was stopped at the corner
OF West Broad and Anderson streets. 1t
appears the negro had repeatedly pro-
tested against ''de buckra shOwn' so
much familiarity and finally he showed
his resentment by throwing brick. which
struck Ennis on the left side Of the face,
causing not only a serious bruise. but
knocking some of Ennis teeth out. Wash
ingtOn was arrested for assault and bat
terry, and, on being found guilty and
brought up for sentence, he was ordered
to be imprisoned for 80 days.
f negro named John Harden plead
guilty to charge of vagrancy and was
sentenced to be imprisoned two months.
On April so a warrant was issued for
the arrest of negro named " est Palmer
to answer charge of adultery. While
he was in the custody of the constable,
Marcus Hunter, he attempted to escape,
but after a prolonged tussle was over
powered and lodged in Jail. The prisoner
was yesterday tried in the City Court for
obstructing a legal process, and. or being
found guilty, was sentenced to he i'm
prlsOned four months.
On April last well known mulattO
named George Guckenheimer got intoXi.
Gated, and while in that condition as
saulted and beat two coal black negro
women named Rosa Smith and Rebecca
Jones. He was tried yesterday for as
sault and battery and sentenced to pay a
fine of $40 or to be imprisoned two
months.
