Court Notes.
James E. Warnock, son of Georgia mil
ionaire and member of the class Of 'S7 in
the Sheffield Scientific school, who was
rested Thursday night, got into quarrel
with Edward J. Barry in Mag Connors' place
of ill-fame Thursday afternoon. After they
had grappled with each other friend of the
student interfered and the three lett the place
and went to the saloon under Bunnell's
Museum. There they commenced to quarrel
again and the proprietor turned them out.
They fought desperately in the rear yard ,rol-
ling over and over in the mud and slime.
When a wagon driver from Moeller's separ-
ated them Warnock was badly bruised and
Barry had black eye. The latter had the
best of the encounter.
A large number of students were in court
yesterday morning when Warnock appeared
in the prisoners dock with his shoes covered
with mud and looking in general like ayouth
of much dissipation. Warnock stated to the
court that he had been insulted in the Con-
nors house and had to resent it. Barry said
that he had been provoked to fight. John
Leary, who saw the fighting from his bill
lard room, corroborated the latter's testi
mony. They fought for fifteen minutes.
Barry was fined 81 and costs and " arnock
81 and costs.
When the fighting case was disposed of
Prosecuting Attorney Gable brought forward
another charge against Warnock; it was for
stealing gold watch and chain worth 5000
from James Heyworth, of Chicago, an aca-
demic freshman Also another charge of
theft which he had not fully investigated.
Time was given to notify the prisoners faith
er and the case was put off until March 19,
the bonds being $500. No bail was given
and Warnock went to jail. The watch was
taken from the vest of Heyworth while he
was exercising in the Yale gymnasium last
week Wednesday. The detectives had been
notified and the watch was found in State
street "fence." The proprietor gave de-
scription of the one that pawned it, which
correspondent to that of Warnock. The Off
GERS had searched well for the student. He
had not been at his boarding house at rec
itation for several days. He was arrested by
Policeman Herman after his fight with Barry.
Warnock is also supposed to be liable for
another theft. On Jan. Is Hervey Frank
lin, freshman, notified the police that
a suit of clothes and watch and chain
worth $125 had been stolen from him. War
mock was frequently in his room at that time,
but suspicion did not rest on him. Franklin
told his suspicious to the police after War
nock's arrest. While he was awaiting the
trip to Jail Warnock confessed to Detective
Brewer that he had stolen Franklin's watch
and told the pawn shop where he had placed
it. The officer recovered the property.
The student was very popular and well
known for his ability as an athlete. He had
taken prizes for light weight sparring
and wrestling. His father allowed him 5000
per month for spending money and paid his
board besides. Since the young man has
been yielding to dissipation he has neglected
his studies and gradually fell behind his class
until he was dropped from 'S6 into 81. At
first he seemed a student of great ability and
promise. He always dressed well and never
lacked money. Yesterday check for $3.50
was found at his boarding place.
