FERGUSON DISCHARGED
He Proved That He Could Not Have
Robbed the Jap.

AAC L EONSu IHhI ne AOuIu NOD nave
Robbed the Jap.
Warren Ferguson, who was charged
with attempting to rob Japanese on
Third street, between l. and NJ, on Fri
dry night. was examined in the Police
Court yesterday.
kuhei Miyabara, the victim, testified
that as he was going down Third street
he met Ferguson, who tried to take his
watch and money from him, and when
witness resisted cut him on the wrist
with a peck knife and knocked him
down. Some persons who witnessed the
affair came up, and Ferguson ran away.
He was sure it was Ferguson.
\ man named Duffy testified that he
saw the scutfle, but thought it was a
couple of Japanese at first. He heard
one of them say: "Go GU are my friend
l want some money ~ and it sounded
like a Spaniard from his accent. They
got up and he saw that the hand of
the Japanese was bleeding. The man
snatched at the coat of the Japanese,
which was on his arm, but did not get it,
and then ran away. He could not swear
the assailant was Ferguson, but he re-
SENT led him very closely. Witness was
within fifteen or twenty feet of them.
officer Greene testified that he heard
cries for help, and went to investigate.
DlIIN lOlu MIN tIldI the COlOGou man, or
Spaniard, who had made the assault, had
run into a door in the alley. He could
not catch him that night. The Japanese
Identified Ferguson the next day when
Greene arrested him.
John Donovan testified for the defense
that Ferguson came to him with couple
OF ladies' about half-past S, and witness
went with them and played piano for
them to dance till after IL O'clock. Fer
guson was not out of his sight during
that time.
Being asked what night it was, he said
he was not sure. but it was the one pre-
cedlng Ferguson's arrest.
Phil Stewart went to the saloon about
quarter to II or later, and found Fergu-
son dancing there. They went boat
riding about Y o'clock.
l.. Biancalini, who keeps the saloon,
testified that he came back to his place
some time between 10 and half-past, and
found Ferguson there. He could not
recollect whether or not he told Officer
Greene that he did not know what time lie
came back to his saloon, but he might
have done so.
Lily Brown testified that she met Fer
guson early in the evening, and they
went to the saloon and danced until they
went boat riding. The only time Fergu-
son was absent was when he went to
order refreshments.
Manuel Oliver and Joe Perrin testified
to much the same, the former being de-
cidedly hostile to Ferguson on account of
his relations TO Lily Brown.
The defendant took the stand and told
story similar to those regarding his
movements on the night in question.
The Court concluded that Ferguson had
proved an alibi. The witness Oliver. al
though unfriendiy to him had testified to
the same facts as the others. He thought
the prosecuting witness must be mistaken

Crushed coke is now being introduced
into the eastern part of the United States
IN competition with anthracite coal for
domestic use. There is much less gas
and bad Odors from it than from the hard
coal. 1t is also being used in locomotiv es
OH the passenger trains of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad between New York
and Washington. 1t will probably be
used very largely in the future in Pitts
burg, now that natural gas is becoming
scarce, as its freedom from dirt and small
amount of ash, as compared with the
bituninous coal formerly used before the
days OF natural gas, make it preferable

An ingenious automatic switch is now
applied to the electric lamps in the guests
room in hotel, whereby the locking of
the room door from the outside (but not
from the inside) turns off the lights.
Many travellers, it seems, doubtless with
