WOULDN'T SERVE TIE sUBPOENABs

Constable Had More Respect for
Ciergymen Than the Lawyers.
Through some mistake the ummons for
the jury in the Burns-Fitzpatrick bastardy
case in the Hoboken Police Court were not
served yesterday afternoon, and thus was
averted an insult to three ministers besides
the other gentlemen selected for the jury.
AT three o'clock yesterday afternoon Re-
corder MeDonough waited for the jury. 1t
did not come and there were no excuses nor
apologies anywhere around. 1t TRANSFERRED
that Constable Tommy Wrighte had be-
come afraid of serving the summonses on
the ministers and had them all in his pocket.
.sIm darned if Pm going to insult the
ministers, u CALCULATED Tommy, = and SO he
went to Justice Rusch's Office n sat him
self down for the afternoon.
Lawyers Young and Minturn, who repre-
sent Fitzpatrick and Burns respectively
were growing uneasy IN the court room.
Finally Young exclaimed

THAT'S what l told you all along" said
Recorder McDonough. @You couldn't get

Counsellor Minturn told a reporter of h

the case because they are above the ordinary
men chosen for a jury.
II am tired of having cases tried before q

His Dismissal From the Fire Depart
ment Looks Like Spite.
The Fire Commissioners last night rid the
department of George j. Brackner, foreman
of No. 9 Engine, and President Of the Fire
half dozen charges had been preferred
against him. One was to the effect that
during the months Of June, July, September
and December, 1898, January and February,

self present at alarms of fires when he was
ABSENT Another was made against hin
for the months of June. July, Septem-
February and April, 1894, of forwarding
to headquarters false reports of monthly
me etings. and inspections being held which
were not held. The other charges embraced
violations of every rule of the department.
When the accusations had been read by
Clerk E~sterbrook, Commissioner Kern gave
Chief Conway, who had preferred the
charges, a hard bit.
81 don't understand y said he, how it is
that this man has been going along yiolat-
ing the rules of this department, and that
not until this time have any charges been
made against him."
No one volunteered an explanation.
Finally Commissioner Mills broke the pain
full silence by declaring
81 nave investigated these charges and
have found them TO be correct. Brackner
has attended few fires, but still the reports
show that he has been unusually attentive
to his duties
Brackner was called, but he failed to re-
spond. Commissioner Mills then moved for
his dismissal with the forfeiture of all pay
supposed to be due him under the reports of
duty.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.

A FAULTY INDICTMENT.
1t saved Justice of Peace Mar
tfneZ.

tfneZ.
Justice Henry Martinez was indicted by
Record Grand Jury for extortion. The in
dictment charged him with having illegally
demanded and taken SITS from Alexander
Waltz, of No. 100 Essex street, for drawing
a complaint and issuing a warrant for the
arrest of Julia Smithowsky for assault and
battery. Martinez was tried yesterday, and
the ignorance of the law Of the Record Grand
Jury was again displayed and the indict.
ment thrown out of court by Judge Hubs
peth.
During the trial Counsellor Dixon, on be-
half of Justice Martinez, ELECTED the fact
that Alexander Waltz whose name was
signed to the complaint, was but ten years
old; that he could not write, and that he
never made the complaint, and further more,
that the complaint was made by Frank
Waltz, VINO signed his sons name, and swore
to it illegally. In directing the jury to ac-
quit, Judge Hudspeth said that the case is
dismissed, because the Indictment charged
that person who did not make the complaint
or pay the money, had done SO. II the
Record Grand Jury had caused to be pre-
pared a proper Indictment, Martinez might
not have got off SO easily.
