The father of Healy, and the mother of Hogan, both spoke for their boys. Judge Root said, that boys of their age, who get drunk, are williams and de- serve punishment. Healy was committed to the reform school and HOgtn 10 days in jail.
 Officer Bailey was then put on the stand | to offer further evidence in the Sylvester Higgins case, adjourned from yesterday. Attorney Lowe objected to any more evil dence coming in as the case was closed yesterday, Prosecuting Attorney Russell said he had the right to show that the ofli cer suspected a violation of the law and had the right to enter Lunny's Ilace with out interference. Judge Root allowed the evidence. The officers testimony was as follows: Went on duty at 10 o'clock, from then until II saw upwards of forty men enter Lunny's place. and made up my mind to go in This was all the state wanted as they proved yesterday the in reference of Higgins. Cross-examined he said the house was a lodging house and saloon, knew the men who went in dId not live there. Did say yesterday that he saw no violation of tn law in the readi 1g room, did not remember of say Ing he saw no violation at all. Higgins was fined Sl0 and costs.

 Judge Root this morning changed the sentence of Joseph NJ. Lynch, whom he sent to jail yesterday. He made the whole sentence twenty-one days Tn the almshouse. Lynch's mother Is making arrangements to send her son to the asy- | lum.
 The sentence of Charles H. Hurlburt Was also changed to 5 without costs. A complaint was Tn court against James F. Lunny, charged with resistance. It was adjourned until tomorrow morning. The case of keeping open on last Sun day then came up. When asked if he pleaded guilty to keeping open on last Sunday, Lunny had the whole complaint read 10 him before pleading not guilty. Officer Bailey took the stand and gave the same evidence as in the Higgins case. l He also testified that he saw groups of three, five and eight enter from the Jeffrey alley entrance. He got inside he said by standing outside the door and as three men came out he forced his way into the reading room. He looked through a small hole on painted glass door into another room and saw Luuny and four other men up-toeing around tho floor. Did not see any drinks. Saw one guard outside the Jeffrey alley entrance and one inside that door. The place has the reputation of being the worst place in the city for sell ing on Sunday. Saw several under the in fluence of drink, but not drunk enough to arrest Cross-examiued he said the en- trance iD front to Lunny's place was also the entrance to Turn hall. He was on the stand half an hour before excused. Lunny himself created some surprise l vixen he said that there were two doors Tn the Tear. put there by him. His reasons were that the door that was there was stolen by two police onicers. He could not say so positively, but he was certain Chi Egan's men took the door. There was nothing sold there and he always had from ten to twelve tr&nsients every Sunday. Clerk Webster and E. l.. AIaloney were put on to testify that Officer Bailey swore yesterday that he saw no violation of the liquor law. Judge Root said. the evidence here shows that there was something secret going on there, that would be the natural inference. The guardians and the tip-toeing around might be used in secret societies. but there was no explanation It IS natural to think there was A violation of some law. What law, the drunken men was sufficient ex. planation. He found Lunny guilty and imPOsrd a fine of SIUO and costs. An ap. peal was taken.
 A case against Michael Curley for keep. ing open September 9. wHs adj burned uu, til tomorrow morning
