of to-day's session.
THAT EXPLAINED Try esterday morn
ing, in the Police Court, when the case of
Barney Norton, charged with keeping
disorderly house, was being heard, the de-
PENDANT explained that he always endeav-
ored to keep the patrons of his saloon from
being noisy and profane, especially late at
night. He remarked that sometimes he
amused them by singing and their ap.
plause was occasionally too demonstrative,
perhaps. An elderly attorney who was sit
ting in Court, but not engaged in the
case, got up and corroborated the defend
ants statement. " Your Honor, he has
most remarkable voice, soft ard sweet, and
his singing always attracts a great many
people to the saloon, under the belief that
it is a woman singing" " Indeed " re-
piled his Honor, can well understand
now why the attorney visits the place so
frequently !"

mitted in the State of Ohio, and from that
time he has been travelling under an as
sumed name A full confession will be
made upon Saturday evening, God willing,
by the criminal himself. The criminal
when he left Ohio did so very suddenly,
having broken from the county jail with
two companions, from whom he has never
since heard, but has reason to believe that
they were captured and returned to prison.
