Finally Land Him in jail.
L. B. Harris pleaded guilty in the city
court yesterday to the larceny Of SIS from
Mrs. Bertha Jacobs, from the residence of
Richard Robinson, on Feb. IL, and was
sentenced to six months in the county Jail
Harris has succeeded in gaining notoriety
In this city, aud has now run the gamut
of all the local courts, beginning with the
mayors court, next III the superior court,
and lastly the city court Some three or
four years ago, when q prisoner at
the barracks, be attempted to
commit suicide with a revolver, and was
prevented only by the timely act of an
officer, who struck up Harris arm, and the
ball was buried In one of the walls of the
sergeant's Office, where it is pointed out to
the curious.
In 1888 Harris, as it will be remembered,
was arrested in this city, suspected of being
Ward, the safe-blOwer, WAC had burglar
lied Davis Bros safe, was captured in
victed, sent to the penitentiary, and made
his escape.
The arrest Of Harris was a case of mis-
taken identity. although there were not
few who were positive that he was Ward.
and when he was brought into the superior
court on writ of habeas corpus, it was
only after q thorough investigation and
proof that Hon. F. G. duBignon, then the
solicitor general, consented to the discharge
OF Harris
By a strange coincidence it turned out
that Ward had married a stepdaughter Of
Harris. The latter is a hotel steward, and
had been under the eye of the detectives
here for the past few months, who suspected
him OF being a crook.

The Police Secret Service.

Fourteen prisoners were before the mayor
yesterday morning. Eleven were sentenced
to fines or imprisonment, two were held
subject to warrants, one was held for a
further hearing and one was dismissed. The
most of the prisoners were an all-around
hard lot, arrested for drunkenness, fighting,
stealing, stabbing, boisterous conduct, and
reckless driving on crowded streets. Five
of them were white. The police depart
ment has adopted the plan of keeping the
names of the prisoners secret until they are
tried. The plan was tried seven or eight
years ago, but was found to be preiudiclal
to the effectiveness OF the police work, and
Mayor Lester revoked the order. Chief
Green has returned to the old way.

A POINT OF LAW.
The Ejectment Suit Against Mrs. Nellie
Buckley Falls Through

An interesting case was decided yes
terday by a jury before Circuit Court
Commissioner Wolcott.
Mrs. Nellie Buckley, in June, 1878,
rented from F. Immen the store and
basement No. s5 Monroe-st. A lease
was drawn. This lease was renewed
the following year, but not afterward
until June 10, 1887, period of seven
years. At that time lease for one
year was drawn out, because the rental
OF the premises was then rai sed from
$1,000 per year to 1920. In this lease,
thus drawn June 10, 1887. was q clause
debarring the tenant from sub-letting
wlthO ut previously having obtained the
consent of the landlord. At the expira-
ton of the lease, June 10, 1888, no new
written lease was drawn, but Mrs.
Buckley continued in the possession of
the premises, and Mr.. Immen received
the rental therefor. On September l6,
1899, Mrs. Buckley rented one of the
show windows TO the American Watch
Club Company who, therein, displayed
their wares.
About two weeks ago. through some
unexplained cause, this window was
CldChtu. IL WdS tNOu7nI Dy SOillc lndI
the natural settling of the building was
the cause, but nothing is known with
certainty, as IL occurred in the night.
The question then arose as to who
was to pay for the damage and replace
the glass. and IN ITS discussion consld-
erable hard feeling was engendered,
the outcome of which was an eiectment
notice to Mrs. Buckley to quit and va
cate the premises on the ground that
she had violated her lease by sub-let-
ting, and. this Mrs. Buckley declined
90 40.
Al the trial of the case Yesterday
Mrs. Buckley's attorney, F. ;. Donald
son, held that there was no lease nor
had there been since the expiration of
the one drawn in 1887; that Mr. Immen
knew of the occupancy of the window
by the American Watch Club Company
and had made no objection thereto and
that as he had been duly rendered and
accepted his rent as it fell due, he
could not legally eject his tenant. The
jury thought the same way and Mrs.
Buckley will continue doing business
at the old stand.
