AN UNFORTUNATE WOMAN.
When Annie Lower came before Judge
Crayens yesterday it appeared as though
she had not been idle III her own behalf.
She was represented by an attorney, and
had caused q number of witnesses TO APP
pear TO testify to her character and de-
portmenG.
But. alas! it is a cold, hard world, and
the Police Court is especially chilly.
Even Mrs. Annie's best friends were
obliged to confess that, although she
worked at odd times, she had one failing,
She looked upon wine when it was red,
and upon beer, and soda water and pop.
Whatever the color thereof, and not only
looked but touched, tasted. handled and
drank thereof-in fact, became drunk.
Not less than seven witnesses, inelud-
ing some of the most respectable NATIONS
of the neighborhood, who had employed
Mrs. Lower, testified. Her attorney tried
to show-but tried III vain-that his client
might drink and not get drunk.n An
unteellBg officer testified that he had
found her i'll an irresponsible state on
numerous occasions, and had taken her
home, but it had become HOMOGENEOUS,
and it was necessary 10 bring her at last
to jail.
The court said she was clearly the vic
tim of an uncontrolled appetite for drink,
and that she was guilty as charged.
Judgment will be given in her case to-
day.
INGRAM HAD LOST HIS ''DAwG.''
The case of Tracy Ingram, who tried to
slaughter with a razor several persons at
SERVERS stable few days ago. came up
in the Police Court yesterday morning.
Various witnesses testified to Tracy's
having razor, and that he chased SERVER
and two other men. Questioned closely,
however, only one witness seemed CON
tldent that it was razor.
Joseph II. Coffey said he was talking
with SERVER, when Ingram appeared
with a razor, and that he (Cofiey) at once
Withdrew-wcnt aWay-in fact, he ran.
Ingram was not so drunk but that he
could run fairly well, but Cotfey said he
was pretty speedy himself, and it took
a good Sprinter TO catch him-if there was
razor in the rear.
Ingram here questioned CofIey and
said: ''Pd like TO know who punched
me in the neck; was it you or Scriver?''
Witness said he didn't think anyone
had punched him. He SAID further that
Ingram had lost his dog. and was crying.
1t appeared that INGRAM was full Of
woe, war and whisky, had lost his dog
and wanted to get chance with his
razor.
The court thought the evidence INSULT
cient to hold him on the charge-of as
sault with deadly weapon-and sug-
gested that he be held over for disturb
ing the peace. A new complaint was
therefore filed, and the more serious
charge dismissed.
