Blacksmith A. Reide, who stole and
cached a blackboard belonging to
Painter Kerr, admitted his guilt and
was ready for sentence, which was
deferred on account of his wife's- sick
ness and multiplicity, of reasons that
the police thought they had discovered
in a scheme of outsiders trying to
erolr' Reide for all his earthly pos
sessions, including horse. Ot1cer
Shannon and Prosecutor James pre-
scented an argument that a person pur-
porting to be a lawyer representing
Reide, had eXtorted an order for $IU,
also an agreement for the giving OF
horse to Kerr toward settlement.
After the lawyer" explained his po-
sition of mutual friend, la Frank
Moulton, the court threw out all such
arrangements as Irrelevant to the is
sue of sentence and Reide was fined $35
or tflirty-five days.
Il am making this sentence very
light because of your family, Reide,"
said the court. 1T is not because I
have any feeling for you. I have rea-
son to believe that this is not your first
offense.'
Eyes it is. your honor" interrupted
Reide.
well, we have reason to think
otherwise, and this fine will have no
bearing on any settlement you may
wish to make, or have made, with Mr..
Kerr. How much of fine can you
pay?"
Il have nothing; [ can pay nothing.
I may have friends that would help
me, perhaps" replied the prisoner,
tearfully
''Well, I'll fine you $35 or thirty-five
days That is not as much as l ought
to fine you, but your Wife's condition
saves you. If you are ever brought
here again and convicted it will go
hard with you and Reide was sent
to prison to serve out his time.
Croy Held in $3.50 Bonds.
H. F. Croy, who made the murderous
assault on Chef Sharpe of Wey's res
taurant, was arraigned and plead not
guilty through counsel, and was held
for preliminary hearing next Monday
in the sum of $3.50 bonds. The bond
was reduced from $500 in order to al
low the accused to get out and return
to work at the Acme restaurant pend
ing trial. There seems to be two sides
to this cutting incident but the eye
witnesses to the affair claim there was
no provocation that would warrant
Croy in using his deadly butcherknife
in the manner he did.
Mann VS.. sfdeboothan.
There was not as much spice in the
mill when it ground the Mann-Side-
boothan grist as was anticipated, and
the large audience Of curious hoodlums
were sorely disappointed.
Little Gertrude Mann told the story
of the burrs that We're rubbed in her
face besides being slapped and
pounded by Mrs. Sideboothan last
Tuesday. She told a well-coached
story of the terrible abuse she had
received, while her aunt sat and lis
tened suffused with stage tears. After
Gertrude went through her lines her
aunt, Miss Ne'ttie S. Mann, wiped
away the imaginary tears and got onto
the witness chair and also ''recited'
the lines on the broom episode, where
she stood on the top of the stairs and
''shook the broom at Mrs. Sideboothan
who was at the bottom of the stairs"
Mrs. Sidebootham told a convincing
story to the effect that she did scold
Gertrude for punching her mosquito
bar screen all up into a wad 9th
burdock burrs, and that Gertrude
screamed for effect, and that the
spinster aunt rushed down the Rtairs
with a broom and would have be-
labored her. Mrs. Sideboothan, in true
Irish shanty style had not she lodged
and gotten away.
Attorney ]. E. Darmer represented
Mrs. SideTboothan, and when she fin
ished her testimony Judge Smith dis
charged her.
Miss Mann, spinster. jumped to Ter
feet and wanted to have Prosecul-.-
James examine a paper containing
twenty-efght names testifying that
"Gertie was q truthful little GIRL but
the city prosecutor was too Disguised
to play any longer IN such a farce,
and he told Miss Mann she had better
retire with her gossip and paper char
acterS.
