A Good Story About Three Nameless JUS

Good Story About Three Nameless JUS
tlces of tho Peace.
A good story is told by the New York
Sun of the adventure of three police
justices and detective employed by
one of the societies whose operations
are intended to brace up the law. 1t
seems that shortly before the holiday
season began a man who had been
active in politics for many years died,
leaving his family almost wholly I'M
provided for His home had been hand
somcly furnished, and the widow. COM
PEELED to move into more economical
quarters, determined to sell the heavier
articles of furniture. Three members
of the board of police justices took
hand in the sale. Among other devices
for helping their friends widow was -
rattle for her grand piano. The JUS
tees organized the friendly enterprise,
promoted the sale of tickets, and when
a sum representing the value of several
such pianos had been gathered in, they
superintendent the drawing.
This took place one evening in Har-
lem store. That was where the detect
i've came in, though some people are
bold enough to say that it was Com
stock himself. At all events, the
guardian of morality, whatever his
name, thought he saw q chance for q
grand coup, and accordingly descended
upon the store, made his way through
the interested crowd, and formally. ar
rested the three justices for conducting
lottery. The detective might have
been a martyr to his zeal if blank won
derment had not paralyzed the spec
tators and before Indignation coul, as
sert itself the justices had mastered the
situation. A police justice is author
lied to hold court at any place and time
that occasion may require. The de-
tectivc had forgotten this, but the three
justices hadn't, and one of them having
mounted table, opened court and sum-
moncd his colleagues to the bar to plead
to the charge laid against them.
Then the spectators began to see fun
in the episode, and when they laughed
the detective nervously tried to pass the
proceedings off as 4 joke-that is, the
trial part. He insisted on the arrest,
and the justice on the bench (tablc) in
sisted that he should swear in his evil
dcnce. This done, the prisoners made
their defense, and the presiding justice
promptly discharged them. Then he
got down, another justice climbed upon
the table and reOpened court, called the
case of the justice who had lately been
presiding, heard evidence and defense,
and discharged the prisoner. Then the
