The singular part of this case is that this
Chinaman was arrested at VOLTS instiga-
ton. John has been changed around on
the complaint and now figures as plaintiff
instead of defendant.
Wolf owed the Chinaman a trifiing sum
for arrears in his laundry account. and
when John presented his bill and would
not take no for ar answer but became
abusive. Wolf threw the laundryman out
of the house. The aggrieved party began
to tumble through his capacious Oriental
toga for a pistol, and then Wolf ran him
out brandishing an ak.
Officer Carson arrested the Mongolan,
but Wolf was too busy to swear to the
complaint of malicious mischief on the
following morning, and telephoneG to the
Police Court to let the Chinaman go.
This was done. Once at liberty, John
promptly sw0re out complaint of battery
the laundry mans debtor and marched him
up to jail.
The bail was paid and Wolf went his
way, cursng his negligence in not having
pressed the complaint he had against the
Monaghan, instead of being now with a
trial on his hands and his pocket money
put up for bail.
