the hotel.

judges, and bail was fixed at $4,000.

was released.

consent TO marriage. Then the Captain

"Well, Jennings, how do you feel
after you've been in Jail four or five
days." was the greeting Judge Miller
gave to Richard Jennings, man who
had lost both of his legs, as he stumped
into the dock of the Police Court this
morning.
Pretty well, boss. But de Catholic
League is still after me. and they want
me, too. Soon as | git out O. here
they'll be after me again.
"Oh, no. Since you've got some of
that whisky out of you they let you
alone. Now, tell me what you wanted
with that carving knife?"
IL was going to kill de Catholic
League, that's what, said Jennings,
craZily.
The man is a bootblack, who works
about the Pennsylvania Station. He
was found with large carving knife
concealed on his person, and to-day DR..
Strickland examined him as to mis-
sanity. Upon his recommendation the
case was certified to the Secretary of

member a cent for their votes, and what
money he gave was given to the State
committee in bulk to be distributed as
they thought best. For few years
past Brice has given money to the State
campaign fund, but in no very extrava-
CANT amounts, and he has also helped
some of his personal friends in close
