A Long List Of Offenders in the Police
Court Yesterday.
Patrick McHale Stands Off Mrs. Nc
Cam and Goes Free-Those
''Deadly'' Weapons.

There was crowded calendar in the
Police Court yesterday, and the court
room was filled with offenders, witnesses
and interested spectators. Most of the
more important cases were continued for
witnesses or for other reasons.
John Doe and William Edrawf pleaded
guilty to having been drunk, but were
discharged as they showed fair measure
of regret.
Handsome" Brady was tried and
found guilty. for the hundredth time, of
being a common drunkard and was
sentenced to thirty days. Brady tried to
defend himself, and claimed that he had
just served year. but three or four offi-
GERS appeared against him and the pre-
ponderance of evidence was too great.
j. II. Maxwell, was arraigned on two
charges of battery for assaulting peddler
OF lines and throwing a stone which
struck boy named James McGrath. The
latter appeared and showed very badly
injured face, the stone having struck him
near the eye and on the cheek. Maxwell
claimed to have thrown the stone at boy
named Addison, and that he hit McGrath
by mistake. Judgment in the case was
withheld until the 18th, when both cases
will be heard and decided.
VIM. DeverauX and Tom Clark, two of
the three men who tried to steal pair of
shoes from NJ. Litzberg's store on
street, were found guilty of petty larceny
and battery, respectively, and will re-
celve judgment to-day.
Jose Casa, who was arrested for shoot
ing at Thos. Gomez on Saturday night
was arraigned and charged with assault
to murder. His case was continued for
examination until to-day, with his bail
fixed at $500.
"a William Durham and II. Armbuster
were arraigned for carrying concealed
weapons. The men created disturbance
on ) street, in front of the Salvation
Army barracks, late on Sunday night
The trouble was over woman, said to
be ArInbuster's wife, and Armbuster
struck Durham with cane.
When arrested both men had revolvers
of about the smallest and most harmless
pattern known. One of the weapons was
shown in court, and when held up on one
finger by City Attorney Post it caused a
general laugh.
Armbuster said he got it to defend him
self, as his wife told him Durham was a
live, walking arsenal" and was thirst
legged weapon aghast, and protested that
ne never carried pistol before. He
thought his life III danger, and, in the last
extremity, he purchased box of cart
ridges and the dealer made him present
of the gun"
1t looks very much as though Mrs.
Armbuster was having good deal of fun
with her cavaliers and melting them to
desperation, canes and popguns. The
case was taken under consideration by
Judge Buckley until Thursday next.
"a Patrick McHale. charged by Mrs. Nc
Cam with battery, was tried. Mrs. Nc
Cam testified that horse belonging to
McHale disturbed sick woman at her
house and she went out to drive the ami
NAL away. McHale appeared on the
scene and, according to Mrs. Mccain,
threw bowlder which struck her on the
arm and side and nearly "kilt her in
toirely."
The bowlder was produced in evidence.
and was about the size of watermelon.
McHaIe swore that he never threw it
at Mrs. Mccain, but that, on the con-
trary, she was pelting valuable colt of
his with powders. When he appeared
she threatened him, and he got his colt
away as quickly as he could. He swore
Mrs. Mccain was very desperate char
acter, and that she had clicked" three or
four men in great shape. Mrs. Mccain
looked old and frail, but was evidently
not entirely harmless.
McHale was found not guilty, and
amid protests from Mrs. McCann he left
the room, followed by the complainant.
All Toy and All You, Two highbinders
arraigned for robbery, had their cases
continued until the 18th inst.
