GHOST OF HANCOCK'S "SIG.1
NOTED DAVID HOAR BECOMES A
VICTIM OF HABITS EARLY
ACQUIRED.
AMBASSADOR YuR1s is FREE.
Judge TvOhy Hears, Handles and
DfspOses of Many Grades
of Offenses-

distinguished families from the OLD
Bay state contributed examples of
the scientific fact that an intellectual
temperament is readily unbalanced
by alcoholic stimulant. John Han
cock is alleged to have thus become
so Disseminated from the dreary
commonplace of life that he saw his
ancestors glorious signature repeat
itself upon the walls, the ceiling, and
the floor of a certain saloon. The
historic spectre quite unnerved Mr..
Hancock and he entirely forgot the
$40 note by which he had promised
to keep his appointment with Judge
Twohy.
David Hoar was the second scien-
tific example. Mr.. Hoar's mental
equilibrium is excessively delicate
and he constantly suffers from ex-
ternal hypnotic suggestion. Once
upon a time, many years ago, Mr..
Hoar became actually intoxicated.
He was then admitted as the first
inmate of the ST. Paul workhouse.
On several hundred subsequent oc-
casions the mere presence of a police
Hoar's first misadventure and all
the original symptoms have been
promptly repeated. Mr.. Hoar eX-
planned yesterday that when he met
Patrolman George Smith Tuesday
night the old trouble came back, and
again his delicate Massachusetts
brain became filled with the fumes
Of that single glass of whisky taken,
strictly for medicinal purposes, long
years ago. Judge Twohy, however,
had not received from the printer
the latest ordinances on drunken
ness by Interrogation, and he
again sent Mr.. Hoar out to Como for
thirty days in accordance with the
old ink-spotted book with it's back
torn off.
Isaac Yurs, the diplomatic Russian
rag merchant, was discharged Mr.
Yuris was alleged ITO have been con-
Quoting negotiations at the house of
Mrs. Wellund, on Mississippi street,
at the identical moment that the
lady's purse, containing $50, under
went mysterious process of lev:ta-
ton and waited itself out of sight.
Although the phenomenon remains
unexplained, the court did not feel
justified in countenancing further in
dignities to a stranger and gentle
man just because the latter could
shed no light upon a problem that
has puzzled even Editor Stead and
Annie Besant
John O'Brien, alias John JONES' a
youth who loves the national game
was charged with diverting the atten-
ton of the players at one of Comis-
keys matinee by keeping a score on
theface of a scompanion. THE games

ferred the case until today.
John Kenaley, alias John Heffernan,
and William ]. Ladine, who are said
to have rented a room at the Norwood
house on Eighth street merely that
they might try on certain clothing left
m the apartment by a former guest,
will report to his honor tomorrow
whether the trousers are too long and
whether any buttons must be moved
on the waiStc oa.t.
Joe Walthers, a young boy, was ex-
amtned, when court adjourned, ON the
charge of violating the stringent state
law against appropriating or disturb
ing logs in the rivers of Minnesota.
Walthers is charged with taking a log
ashore and carefully protecting it from
the rheumatic influences of further
dampness. Attorney Stan Donnelly ex-
planned, however, that it was g. crime,
under the law, to take any personal
liberties whatever with the inchoate
lumber. Today will decide whether, as
test case, Walthers VIII be held to
the grand jury.
Samuel Greenberg, accused by I.
Seigle of using abusive language, re-
ceived permission to depart In peace.
The witnesses made 1t clear that Mr..
Seigle had accepted as literal and ma
lignant fact the soaring Oriental meta
phors which Mr.. Greenberg had en-
ployed in Difference to the poetic tradi-
tons of his race.
Gustave Carlson was held guiltless
by a jury who investigated the charge
brought by Marie Gjutman that Carl.

to the door of his Jackson street res

Emerson Stockwell, arrested for kill
ing q st. Bernard dog belonging to J.
M. Partridge, was yesterday dismissed
by Judge Twohy. Mr.. Partridge felt,
upon reflection, that a st. Bernard is
not primarily devised to chase small
spring chickens, and he therefore did
not appear to prosecute the case.
Charles K. Smith and Nellie Brown,
who had forgotten the marriage cere-
mony in the prolonged delights of a
six-year honeymoon, announced to
Judge Twohy that the trifing omission
had been repaired. They were there
