ELEVEN MONTHS IN JAIL.
A Negro Sentenced by Judge Miller for
Resisting an Officer.

In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing-
ham, this morning George Reed, colored, was
placed ON trial for using personal violence on q
policeman, Mr.. T. c. Taylor for the defendant.
Officer Paul Kirster testified that on the 3lst of
January about IL As o'clock at night he arrested
Reed for vagrancy and also because he knew
OF a warrant being out for him for assault with
intent to kill; that witness was in citizen
clothes but showed his badge; that Reed re-
sisted and fought him and at one time got on
witness and gave him kick, from the effectd
of which he was laid up for seventeen days ans
still suffers, and it was not until he blew the
distress call and officers come to his assistance
that Reed was subdued The officer testified
also that he had been looking for Reed for five
months to arrest him for the intent to kill case
The defendant denied that he had resisted the
officer except to ward OF his blows, which he
tried to infiict with, the butt Of his pistol He
denied that he knew the man was an officer
and says that after he was pulled out Of the
store he was struck with the pistol On cross.
examination Reed admitted that he had served
two terms in Jail and had been several times In
the work house.
Mr.. Taylor claimed that the prisoner had the
right to resist the arrest, he demanding that
the warrant be produced.
Mr.. Lipscomb claimed that an officer had the
right to arrest for vagrsncy without warrant
The court instructed the jury that vagsant
may be arrested without warrant, but Il was
at Els (the oficer's) risk. He should, however
know that the party was vagrant. They had
heard the testimony and should determine In
the defendant was u vagrant-an idle, dissolute
the of6cer vas justified in making the arrest
without warrant II they found the defendant
was not Q warrant and the officer used more
force than necessary they should acquit.
The jury found verdict OF guilty - In

POLICE COURT LAWYERS.
How Some Of Them Manage to Secure
Clients.

II won't hurt my throat this morning calling
collateral cases." said Bailiff Hooe in the Police
Court today when he discovered that only two
of the persons charged with violations Of
the law had been able to secure the loan Of q
'V" each and deposit it as q guarantee that
they would be in court for trial. In the dock
were thirty-one persons who had to answer as
many charges. Although there was not much
doodle" in the crowd lawyers were plentiful,
and even before the court opened we're stand
ing about the dock waiting for clients Many
persons who entered the court were accosted
by one Of the waiting lawyers with the jocular
remark: "Good morning my man, you don't
come here often?" or the sympathizing query:
"Are you in trouble?'' In this way clients are
got and often the lawyer receives as much as
80 cents as a fee. OF course some fees are
larger, while there are occasionally even smaller
ones
There is another sight witnessed about the
court more than three hundred days in year,
and sometimes more than once day. 1t il
that of a crowd of lawyers, loafers and others
who sit on the ratings around the steps and
watch the unfortunate persons on their way
from the "Black Maria" to the dark holes be-
meath the court building. The lawyers are
prohibited by rule Of the court from calling
to the prisoners: do you want to gee me?'
and 80 they have to depend upon the prisoners
calling to them: 'Mr. -, want to see
you"
The above statement does not apply to all of
the lawyers about the court.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March ls.-The full text
OF the protest py the three Catholic bishops Of
Wisconsin-Heiss, Flasch and Catzer-against
the Bennett school law was made public yester-
day. The gist Of the long document issued by
the bishops 10 that the law goes 20 far as to
leave it to the decision of the state school
board as to whether any school is to be re-
garded as having legal existence or not. The
bishops say: I'VE have, indeed, nothing against
the demand that reading, writing arithmetic
and United States history be taught in the En-
glish language, but we do object to the power
granted by this provision to school boards to
decide whether our schools have q right to
exist before the law" The bishops explain
that they cannot but apprehend That the ulti-
parochial system altogether. They add: "We
have never received one single cent Of state
help for our schools; we want no state inters
ference with them, either"
