Miles, then on the police force IF he city
of Portland, was indicted for receiving
brides from persons accused Of crime, not
to arrest or prosecute them. One count
in the indictment charges him with not
arresting one John Murphy accused of
being concerned in lottery, for whose
arrest he had a warrant, but let him go
on the payment of S.. Another account
ing to one Lewis Levi and letting him
go for $40, without putting him before
the court. Another account charges him
with accepting bride from one William
II. Lord for not prosecuting him under
the liquor law. A demurrer was filed
to the indictment which was overruled
and the case went to the law court on ex
captions. A demurrer to an Indictment
admits to be true everything that is
stated in the indictment, so that II the
Indictment is 0verruled the defendant
stands in the same position as if no had
pleaded guilty. The demurrer In this
case was overruled by the law court and
yesterday morning Miles was brought in
for sentence. Judge B Quincy sentenced
him to three months in the county Jail.
Edward GRAHAM, convicted at this

same offence was sent to State prison for
three years.
Judge Bonney said in passing sentence
upon Patrick that he made difference

criminal record as his brother Thomas
had. But the duty of the police officer
was hard enough at times and they
should be protected from such ruffianly
| assaults as this seems to have been,
where the only provooation was that the
officer was merely attempting to quell
