kcm,r Learned Recorder.
John Noble of No. 619 Willow avenue,
Hoboken. was returning from a ball at
Odd Fellows Hail early yesterday morn
ing when he heard a pistol shot on Fifth
street. Noble hurried towards the spot
from where the report came, and says
he saw a mar thrust a revolver in his
pocket. There was a woman with him,
who was begging him for Gods sake"
not to kill her. Noble called Chanceman
Kardell, whom he SAY a short distance
away. and the officer placed the nan
under arrest upon the charge of Noble.
At the station house the man said he
was David F. Morrow. thirty-three years
old, of No.. SOB Bloomfield street. No re-
volver was found upon his person.. and
he emphatically denied the charge. He
also said that the woman with him was
word to him about his sparing her life
or for him not to shoot. He also thought
that Noble had fired the pistol himself
and accused him of 1t to say himself.
When arraigned yesterday morning,
Morrow again denied the charge, but
Noble still stuck to his story and told
such a straightforward one that Recorder
under protest n said he would sue the
city to recover 1t.
He said that he was a boss carpenter
of Binghampton, N. Y, and was only
stopping in Hoboken for a short time.
He never owned a revolver in his life, he
said.
To those who heard the case in court
it appeared strange that II Morrow had
attempted to XII his wife she did not APP
pear against him.

Lawlor often Arrested Though Al
WAYS InnOcsnG. He says.

John Lawlor was called up this morning
in the General Sessions Court to be SEN
fenced for stealing seventeen chickens.
The prisoner made a strong plea for elem
ency. He said he was forced by hun-
ger to steal the chickens.
sYou can investigate my record, your
Honor he said. and you'll find that it's
all right
The Court had evidently anticipated the
request, and Judge Hudspeth produced
accuracy which astonished Lawlor.s
The record showed that he had been
arrested a dozen times on more for larceny,
and a variety of other things The pris-
oner said he had been accused of all the
crimes on the record but was not. guilty.
Judge Hudspeth sentenced him to three
years and a half in States Prison.
