Recorder Wilson held a lively session
OF the police court yesterday morning.
The hearing OF the charges preferred
against J. c. Brown by Alderman FaIli-
gant furnished the sensational features.
DR.. Falligant gave his statement OF the
meeting between himself and MT. Brown
Saturday and the circumstances which led
up to it. fun account Of which has been
published in the Morning News. r. L.
Brown made a statement concerning DR..
Falligant's visit to his store, tending to
show that the doctor was in a very ex-
cited frame of mind and made use OF very
unparliamentary language. The Browns
made frequent sarcastic illusions TO Dr.
Fallisant. bringing in matters of several
years ago, rejecting upon him. and also
claiming that Dr. Falligant had an old
grudge against them. The recorder re-
proved them several times for these al
lusions and threatened to send r. L.
Brown from the room if he did not keep
quiet
J. c. Brown gave a very spicy account
of his two meetings with DR.. Falligsnt
and ended up by charging that DR. Fall
gants action was due TO an old grudge
against him and his brother. He also de-
clared that DR.. Falligant had stolen a
loaf of bread from his house on one occa-
sion.
You're a liar" exclaimed DR.. Fall
CANT.
You are another" replied Brown.
More compliments OF this kind were
passed, and there would undoubtedly have
been fight but for the interference of
the recorder.
NJ. y. Buttimer contractor for the O.
r. NJ department. stated that he had on
one or more occasions instructed his wag
oners to empty their wagons on Browns
place when in their neighborhood, and
Mr. Brown had nothing to do with IL
and was not responsible for it. No places
had been designated for the deposit of the
screenings Of the vaults, he said, as re-
quired by ordinance and by his contract
with the city, and this left it optional with
him 10 select the places OF deposit.
The recorder did not view II that way.
