Drink OR | SHOOT"
John Ducess Poured Whiskey Into
Children's Soda Glasses.
He Had Enticed Them TO Central
Park from the Bowery.
In Court To- Day He Was Held for
Carrying a Revolver.

John Ducess, sixty years old. who has
siven his residence as Flatbush avenue,
brooklyn, and also at Bowery lodging
house. was a prisoner in Yorkville Po-
lice Court this morning as the result OF
an lnpromptu picnic he gave yesterday
afternoon to some youngsters from the
Bowery.
The charges entered against him by
Policeman Anderson, of the East Sixty
seventh street station, were drunk and
dsorderly. violation of corporation
ordinance and abduction.
Ducess was drunk yesterday afternoon,
and wound up about o'clock at the
corner of Bayard street and the Bow
cry. There he saw some children play
Ing pussy in the corner" and he sat
down to watch the game.
When the game had progressed about
half an hour Ducess suggested that a
ride to Central Park would be good
scheme. Twelve-year-od Max Epstein,
of Bayard street, said he would go. He
went to the house and got his three-ycar-
old sister, Mollie, Bernard Ietter, twelve
years old and Louis Gerber, aged ten.
Ducess took the crowd on the Elevated
train, and they rode to f'ifty-ninth street
Then they started over to the Park.
The youngsters were delighted with
the prospect, for DucesS had promised
them soda water when they arrived
there On the way over Ducess dropped
in at several saloons, while the children
waited outside till he joined them.
The first soda water stand they struck
was at the Ffty-ninth street entrance
TO the Park, and there Ducess ordered
drinks for all. When the glasses were
TILED he took bottle from his pocket
and poured little Of the liquor it
contained into each glass. Young Ep-
stein smelled 1t, and being a Bowery
boy. knew il was whiskey. He refused
to drink and told the others to forego
their soda.
Then, according TO young Epstein,
Ducess whispered in his ear
IF You don't drink l will shoot you. y
As ne said that, he showed his pistol
pocket TO the lad. and there Epstein
saw the handle of a big revolver.
One glance at it was sufficient. and
the youngster ran. The Others followed
him.
Ducess chased the crowd through Six
tieth street, towards Park avenue, and
there Policeman Anderson stopped him.
After hearing the story told by young
Epstein, he arrested Ducess.
In the Yorkville Police Court this
morning Ducess wore a very detected
sir Justice Meade thought that he
meant no harn to the children, and
therefore paid no attention to the
charge of abduction. He fined him 81
for being drunk, and held him in 500
bail for carrying a revolver without a
license.
