Robbery at the Police Court.

BOTTLE OF WHISKY, WHICH WAS To HAVE
BEEN USED AS EVIDENCE, STOLEN.
John OBrien, who keeps a grocery store on
Champlain avenue and Boundary street. failed
to obtain liquor license for the present license
year, and the police obtained information that
liquor was being sold notwithstanding. Officers
Slack and Mulloy looked after the case. col
ored man was sent to the store, and he returned
with bottle of liquor, claiming he purchased
it in the store. Yesterday, when the case
was taken to the Police Court, the bottle
of whisky to be used in evidence was placed in
a locker in the Police Court. but when the off,
GERS went to get it to put it in evidence the
whisky was gone. Policeman Slack called the
judges attention to the robbery, and said he
would like to have the man by the collar who
stole the whisky. He did not say who he sus-
pected. The case was tried in the absence of
the bottle of whisky, and the court imposed a
tine of S105. Appeal noted
THEY WERE FINED FIVE DOLLARS EACH
Bart Haislipp, a special officer, and Henry
McStay were in the Police Court yesterday
charged with engaging in an affray last week
near Cranfords concrete works, at the foot of
l street northwest. The fight which was a
severe one, was fought under the ''go-as-you-
please" rules, and blows above or below the
belt were in order. When necessary pistols
could be brought into use, and if by accident
ones finger would get in the others mouth it
was not a violation of the rules to close down
on it. The trouble started because one accused
the other of having told an untruth about him.
The specials pistol was brought into service,
and during the scufle one bullet escaped from
it, but, as it is claimed, only by accident
Then, as a witness put it, "Haislipp put his
finger in McStay's mouth" Judge Miller
thought it possible that McStay put his mouth
over Haislipp's finger. Messrs. Darlington and
Revells, who appeared for the defendants.
agreed to submit to small fine. Ten dollars
was the amount suggested by Mr.. Shillington.
Mr.. Darlington said that the defendants GER
tainly got so worth out of each other. The
judge was OF the same opinion, and fined the

into secret revolutionary organization. This
was for the purpose of breaking the force of
Parnelrs information about Piggotts antece-
dents.
But Piggott had no suspicion of the over
whelming completeness of the knowledge con-
veyed in the package to Parnell, and did
realize until he got into Sir Charles clutches
that no calumny could impair the fatal effect
upon him and on the Times case of what
Parnell knew. Had Egan not made the dis
covery the truth of the letters could only have
been denied, but their falsehood could not have
ever been demonstrated. The situation would
have been Times victory, and victory for
the Times would be the ruin of Parnell, IT, ?
home rule party, and the indefinite discredit of
the liberals.
NOT ALL FoRaERIEs.
In the Parnell commission in London yes
terday, Attorney General Webster read letter
by Piggott at Anderton's hotel on Sunday. In
this letter Piggott says: II informed Mr.,

The last batch comprised three letters
Davitts and O'Kellys-which were similarly
forged. Egan's letters were genuine. No
Egan letter that gave the Times or Mr.. Hous-
ton Is forged" Piggott further said he felt he
had treated the Times badly, but hoped the
paper would deal leniently with him.
On application Of counsel for the Tunes, the
commission adjourned till to-day.
