lie started in 10 do Grand Rapids from
a moral standpoint, bat Grand Rapids
has done him from an immoral stand
point. tie was run IN on sunday, and
/ stood before the bar OF the court on
Monday q condemned man. Tie PAID
the fine and costs, and then went out TO
continue his career of inspection. His
! curiosity led where many curious eyes
have lured their victims down 10 grief,
all the while filing up and up, and more
] and more, until he was again ripe for
plucking. Again he was returned 10
the place from whence ne came, and
again went through the process of the
police court grind. Yesterday morning
Ills Honor laid ii on to the extent of s.
line aud 1886 costs, or twenty days in
jail. Martin felt IN his pockets, and
for the first time in this tour OF inspec-
ton he felt pang OF remorse because

lie claumed 10 have 800 IN the bank,
but had lost his bank book. He was
committed to jail, but in few hours
he found a sum sufficient 10 pay his
fine, and walked forth the possessor of
that precarious kind of freedom that is

Here is another case of moral con-
! fusion growing out Of failure 10
understand the difference between a
c0mmon lease and a deed Of convey
| snce. William Chauncey is a mulatto
of fairly intelligent appearance, but
not presenting the aspect of man who
! would find Sl2 cght-day clock
necessary to the existence Of humble
citizen like himself. Indeed, he did
not find Il necessary. and pawncd the
clock. The complainant. James Nj.
Wilcox, agent of the Metropolitan
Manufacturing Company, sold the clock
| TO Chauncey under a lease contract, to
| be pa'd for IN installments. The case
| is exactly like those that are constantly
coming before this court. If Chauncey
| had been a reader of the TELEGRAM
| HERALD he would have learned, from
the example of Ed. w. Williams, who
did with q watch precisely what Chaun-
| cey has now done with a clock; that he
was touching something that wo1ld 90
! off. Williams and Chauncey are both
| in jall now, and can talk the marterup
| Yesterday, Chauncey was merely ar
raigned ON charge of embezzlement,
and his case was adjourned to this
morning.
| George II. Brown is accused of two
| bad deeds, one day after another. Yes
terdav he undertook defense against
| the charge of keeping his saloon open
on Washington's birthday. Officer
George w. Wheeler testified to seeing
persons in the back room of the saloon
on that day. Every true" replies the
respondent, "but those fellows were
there cleaning up the place, Washing
dishes and bottles, and re-painting the
| furniture" The whole case will de-
pend upon the value His Honor will
! attach 10 Browns array of testimony.
/ If he don't try to prove it too much by
| too many witnesses, this scheme may
work. But when a man like the wit
| ness Daily swears that he remembers
that i WAS the 22d, by the fact that a
! friend put it down on piece OF
paper for him 50 he could remember
| Washington's birthday next year, 1t
| looks To a man up q tree as IT the de-
| fcnse ought to take a rest. The case
was not concluded Yesterday, and will
! be again taken up, together with the
/ Sunday violation suit, tomorrow after
| noon.
James Mcmahon was yesterday in
troduced To the readers of this column
as remarkable man IN appearance.
