Another of those unsavOry cases, that new
er fail to attract a large crowd of loafers and
men out of employment, occupied the at
tention of Judge Holmes yesterday. The
case was that Of John Fitzgerald, the iasman
at the Third street railroad crossing, who. a.
before noted in THE TELEGRAM, was arrest
ed upon the charge of attempting To raj e
Carlotta Plander, a twelve-y ear old g,rl. The
details in the case are too disgusting for re-
petition, but during her testimony the girl
admitted that she rather loved the man.
Fitzgerald and his attentions: that she had
stayed away from school parts Of two days
that she might visit with him in the staion
house and that her mother had requested
her to testify so and so. The examination
will be continued this morning IN Police

that of former years as to induce the
