officer SIN ollett Sentenced to Pay a
Fine of $40.
The Balance in the Hands of the
County Treasurer.

Officer Smollett appeared yesterday fol-
sentence in the municipal court, where he
had pleaded guilty to the charge of assault
aud battery upon W. H. eardsley His
counsel, j. N. Searles, addressed the court in
favor of leniency. His client, he said, had
entered plea OF guilty, merely because he
was, perhaps, technically guilty of the otfense
Charged, but there was no element of malice
IN his conduct. Fayette Marsh, of the pros
ecuuon, in his remarks, very plainly fore.
shadowed that he should apply to the city
council, asking Smollett'S removal from the
ponce force. In case he should not be dis.
placed, Mr. Marsh hoped defendant would be
hned heavily, though pending the action OF the
council he would advise suspension of SEN
tence. Mr.. Searles desired the fine imposed at
once, and Mr.. Marsh retorted that Searles SO
wished in order that he might go before the
council and say: my client has already
been punished by the COURT The court
hnally said that in view of the already con-
siderable costs, he would fine defendant $40
and the costs. The court gave Smolett un-
I'll to-day IN which to pay and allowed him to
go on his own recognizance. Mr. Marsh in
hmated that in case the fine was heavy he
(Marsh) would ask the council to remit the
same. and then would urge that body to de-
pose the officer.
