POLICEMAN AND LAWYER.
The Hewlett- kimmel Case Dismissed In
the Police Court.

The case involving the dispute between Law
yer Hewlett and Policeman Kimmel in the
Police Court corridor yesterday attracted con-
siderable attention in the Police Court this
morning. The lawyer who appeared as de-
PENDANT stood at the bar of the court with an
unlighted cigarette in his mouth. Policeman
kimmel accused Hewlett of having made use of
the expression toward him, you've got too
d much to say, you big bull-headed duffer. /"
The officer also accused the lawyer of obstruct-
ing the entrance to the building Cabman
Digney was then called. He was the man to
whom the policeman said the remarks of Hew-
lett were directed He made the case stronger
than the officer, and accused the lawyer Of
having used the expression "a bull-headed
Irish 8 of a b" Mrs. Chaplin said she
heard Hewlett call some one big duffer"
1t the most outrageous thing have ever
heard In court of justice, said LAWYER Hew-
lett. Then he made a wholesale denial of the
evidence Tor the prosecution and said he never
uses profane language. Lawyer Browning
gave corroboratlye evidence.
The Judge made few remarks which
prompted the othcer to call the courts atten-
ton 10 the rule posted in the corridor
Judge Miller said he intended to see that the
rule was enforced against persons wearing
SIX hats alike. de did not, however intend
to have that rule made a vehicle for the graft
hcatlon OF personal spite. The charge against
the lawyer Was dismissed.

WANT THE FENCE REMOVED.

Messrs. Parker and Dwyer have not been

they were at the District building bright and
early and presented the following letter 10 the
Commissioners:
'Your attention is called to the fact that Q

should be carried out and only asked for short
time to consider the matter. We have waited
Tor some months; the order has not been re-
voked or enforced aud the Illegal fence remains
through the non-action OF your Office 10 the
great detriment of the taxpayers OF that local.

that we have hled various petitions from those
directly interested praying for relief This

Inc law states very distinctly that there can be
no obstruction to street crossings; consequently
there can be no question about the duty of the

DECIDED TO BE SOLDIERS.
Saloon Keepers Who Sell Liquor to In
mates of Soldiers Home Will be Fined.

Today in the Police Court Judge Miller rem
dered decision that will greatly effect the
business of the keepers of the saloons on the
7th-street road and which if sustained by the
upper court may have the effect of closing
some of the bar rooms which are sustained
chiefly by the inmates of Soldiers Home. The
defendant i'll the case was Michael Liston, who
keeps a saloon at Whitney avenue and 7th-
street road. The complaint was made by Ser
geant Slattery in consequence of the repre-
sensations made against the saloons in that
neighborhood by the citizens. Sergeant Stat
terry called three old soldiers as witnesses.
One of them showed visibly the effects of liquor
drinking. They all agreed that they pur-
chased and drank liquor in the defendants
place.
Mr.. LrsToN SAID
he had no denial to make, but he desired to
call the courts attention to former decision.
Mr.. Liston claimed that the inmates of the
ing of the law. He said that
i'll 1861 there were some soldiers
stationed there and he supposed the law was
passed for their benefit. The Judge informed
the defendant that the law was not passed un-
til 1870, and it therefore must have applied to
these old soldiers who were then inmates Of
the home.
Mr.. Liston called the courts attention to the
regulations of the Commissioners reading To
a soldier or volunteer"
Prosecuting Attorney Shillington said that
the laws of the District we're not all embodied
in the liquor regulations.
THE COURT GIVES JUDGMENT.
Judge Miller informed defendant that anv
decision made by another judge or another
court would have no influence on this courts
action. He said that the old soldiers, inmates
OF the Home. were never known as ANYTHING
but soldiers, and they certainly came within
the provisions of this act The court gave
Judgment in the sum OF $50, but suspended
with the consent of Mr.. Shillington
who agreed with the court that the object Of
the prosecution would be accomplished by the
judgment being given.
