ing in the Enrich assault case was re-
sumed. Lawyer Kuhn appearing for Chas.

prove an alibi. They live on Capitol Hill,
and they testified positively that Saturday
night, September 10, he came home at II &c
o'clock. They were sitting up, waiting for
the return Of another member Of the fam.
lily, who was expected from the country.
When the defendant came in they looked
at the clock.
Counsel for the prisoner. during the
course Of his argument, referred to the
fact that two shots had been fired, while
the pistol produced in court yesterday
showed that only one shot had been fired
from 1t.
THAT makes no difference" said judge
Miller. for / am Of the opinion that there
were two men there"
THAT 10 undoubtedly true" remarked
Precinct Detective Hartigan. There were
certainly two men there"
Judge Miller said there was enough to
hold the defendant for the grand jury. The
alibi was not enough to clear Phillips by
any means. for the witnesses located him
At home an hour before the shooting.
The case was sent to the grand Jury and
bond was fixed at 5000. In default Of Be-.
ourity the prisoner was committed to jail.

1t an offense to cry out fire in a theater
or a church where there is an assemblage
or to strike a match in crowded theater.
The ordinance has had an unusual effect
over the behavior of the boys who frequent
the Park Theater gallery. Yesterday and

gods was called to the ordinance and not
a match has been struck since. Some OF
the boys, bothered over the word ''ordi-

who pleaded guilty to having forged the
certificate Of a check on the Columbia Ma
tional Bank, of Washington, by which the
Lincoln National Bank. OF this city. was
swindled out of $500. was to-day sentenced
to seven years in States prison by Judge
Cowing. When arraigned for sentence
Brigham made a plausible plea for mercy.
Judge Gown observed looking over the
Indictment:
Brigham, you appear to have been after
large sums. There was no picayunishness
about your operations. Small sums OF
money did not satisfy YOU"
Then Brigham read his plea for mercy,
the hands which held the paper from which s,sa
he had to pause. II was crazed with rum. :
he said, when was arrested, and my
dition When first pleaded. Captain
OBrien charged me with SO many crimes
that thought might as well let him have
his own way. and made no deniais. He
tried to prove me an habitual criminal. but

have been pictured, but you seem to have
committed some pretty big forgeries. one
of 1913, 900 and another of $4,000. Your wife,
who is as old as you are, came to my house
and tremblingly pleaded for mercy for you
the other night, but must do my duty, and
so sentence you to eight years In State S
prison. That allows you two years for your
plea of guilty"
Gould you not make it three years of,
Judge?' Brigham asked, crying copiously.
II have done much good in my life and you
might consider that

and so I'll make the sentence seven years"
Brigham was then lead away. His SEN
tence closes the career OF a plausible swim

business men of all the great cities of the
country. HE was always after big game, :"
