perjury in swearing that he owned real estat.
on G near 18th street to the unincumberec
amount Of $4,000. in order to become bonds
man for one Edward II. Flaherty.
The case was called in the Police Court this
morning before Judge Miller. Howard was with.
out counsel and asked a postponement Of the
case, claiming that he did not on the occasion
referred to in the charge make oath. as alleged
Judge Miller stated that he would grant nc
postponement on such a fimsy excuse.
Howard voluntarily stated that he was
drunk at the time and happening in the
Police Court obliged Faherty by going on his
bond to the amount of 81. 1000.
In answer to Judge Miller's inquiry, Clerk
Potts stated that Howard was not drunk and
understood perfectly what he was doing. Com.
hitting Howard to await the action of the

said that it was the first time that such a case
had occurred during his experience on the
bench. He was confident that Howard did the
thing simply to make money.
