The Richardson Case Dismissed


James Richardson, the Union mission con-
vert who was arrested on charge of ycgrancy
preferred against him by Charles G.. Torch,
another convert was tried in the Police Court
this morning. According to the evil
dence of Mr.. Wheeler of the mission
the defendant came there four years ago
and has been attending their meetings ever
since. For the first two years the witness said
Jimmy" did pretty well, but then he took
unto himself a wife, which intensified his beg
ging propensitles, because he then had two
persons to beg for instead of one.
Mr.. Torch charged that Richardson had been
annoying persons at the mission by begging.
and said that when persons refused to- give him
money he abused them.
Mr.. McMichael testified that Richardson
threatened to put him in his grave if he had
him arrested. He also accused the defendant
OF having disturbed the meetings.
The defendant made q statement in his own
behalf, saying he had the names of thirty-seyen
business men attached to a paper certifying to
his good character; that he had been sick for
long time and was unable to do any hard work
and had been selling stationery.
Judge Mills said that the charge had mot
been sustained. Begging in the street was the
SPECIFIC charge and there was no PROOF TO sus-
tain it. II he disturbs the meetings he should
be SO charged. The case was dismissed.
