HIS INVOLUNTARY GUESTS IN The POLICE COURT
THIS MORNING.
Eight o'clock this morning was the hour set
for Judge Niiler's reception at the Police
Court. The guests assembled long before the
hour designated. but the failure of Messrs Pad
gett and Shillington to arrive in time caused
more than an hours delay. There were nine
teen specially invited guests" who were given
seats in an ante-roOm. where they had ample
time to arrange their toilet, but without the
aid of light or a comb and brush. There were
six women among these, all white.
The first to pay his respects to the judge was
Richard Losano, resident of South Washing
ton. Il deny the charge / am not a vagrant."
he answered. Then his aged mother appeared
and sadly told the Judge that her thirty-yeaT-
old son was born tired" She told of the good
situations she had obtained for him, and how
he soon wearied Of them and gave them up.
Richard, denying the charge. said that he had
worked at the Sherman house. Chicago. and the
Gibson house. Cincinnati. lie was always will
ing to work, but had to give up his last posi-
ton because the labor too hard for him.
Sixty DAYS in the workhouse was his sentence
Vim. Hoffman admitted that he was drunk
last night, but denied that he disturbed any,
body. He remembered that on Christmay day
the judge trusted him for IS. which he had not
yet paid, and he therefore expected no further
credit. The judge added another IS to the
bill. but would not trust him any longer.

colored men who have faced the Judge before

Franklin Street Baptist church last night. but

neighbors awake all night crying: '.Hurrah for
Cleveland" She will not be visible or audible
