up in the Police Court yesterday it was

yersation had with the prosecuting witness
defendants wife-that the matter had
been fixed up, so Mr.. Church said he wonld
dismiss the felony charge and make new
complaint for disturbing the peace. To
this the defendants attorney, A. A. Moore.
said his client would plead guilty. Evidence
was taken. which showed that the accused
had fiourished bntcher-knife, and Judge
Ogden, in passing sentence. said that he
could only conclude, from the evidence of
Mrs. Schwab, that a wife can not only for
give but also forget. he then fined Schwab
$50, with the alternative of $50 days i'm
prisonment Schwab's counsel was so sur
priSed that he could have been knocked
down with feather. He looked over the
complaint to discover flaw ON which to
base all appeal, but finally told the Court he
guessed that he would have to keep Schwab
for the $50 days.
