THE WATCH WAS PAWNED.
A Stepson and His Friend Get Them
selves In Trouble.

The only important case before the
Police Court Yesterday morning was that
of shelton ID. Hobsou and Thomas W.
Mountcastle. charged with felonlously
stealing gold watch and chain Of the
value of S57, the property of W. Nj. Carter.
Mr.. Carter lives at No. 502 north twenty
fourth street. and Mountcastle is his step
son. Hobson is friend of the latter
Mr.. ID. G.. Richardson, who appeared as
counsel for the accused, asked that the
case be dismissed, and stated that Mr..
Carter had no complaint TO make against
the prisoners and that he did not swear
out the warrant nor did he know who the
prosecutor was.
Justice Crutchficld decided 10 90 into an
investigation. and several witnesses were
examined. The evidence was 10 the enect
that Mountcastle, who boards with ms
stepfather. took the watch and cham from
the room of the latter and gave II to Hob
son. whom he met on Church-Hul avenue,
and the latter pawned il at Bachrach's for
Sl5. which amount was divided between
the two When Mr.. Carter missed his
watch he reported his loss 10 the police,
and cave the number of the watch and a
description of il. Mr. Carter SAID he now
valued the watch, which he bought TWO
years ago for $50, on the lnstaiment pian'
at S25 He did not wish 10 prosecute the
ease. Mouncastlc said he took the watch
aud pawned IL, with the intention OF re-
deemng it when he got some money. Ito
needed money at the time, and had no III
tention of permanently retaining the time
piece.
Mr.. Richardson after raising the point
that there was no felony. argued that
his clients were illegally arrested. He read
the law bearing on this subject and held
that "A Mr.. Carter, the owner OF the pro-
pertv alleged to have been stolen, had not
made complaint as required 10y law, and
as he Carter now declines TO prosecute,
he asked that the case be dismissed, cspe-
ciallv rs the examination had failed 10
prove that the property was taken with
The intention of permanently retaining pos
session.
Justice Crutchfeld said to discharge the
accused would be to set dangerous prece-
dent. and he was compelled 10 convict
them, but would give them only fifteen
DAYS. the minimum punishment.
At the request of Alr. Richardson ludg-
ment was suspended until this morning so
as to give him time 10 look up other au-
thorities which he thought would conVlce
the Court that the charge should be dis

delegates 10 our next Legislature. They
could present a good representative ticket
which would command the endorsement OF
the entire Democratic party. II would save
the heavy expense of primary, and. now
that the delegates are elected, the expense
of holding ward-meetiugs. l he delegation
