Thomas Burns was before Judge Kimball

I'll sign the Pledge"
Such promises as that are made to me

seldom result in good. 1 think fifteen days

than signing the pledge"

CURIOUS CASE.
Edward J. kecgnn Pleads Guilty Of
Stealing.

Edward J. kecgan Pleads Guilty OF
Stealing.
Edward ]. keegan, a handsome young
fellow of twenty years, presenting every
appearance of responsibility, and of I'M
doubtedly good family, was a prisoner in
the Police Court this afternoon, charged by
several persons, including his father and
sister, with larceny.
The information set forth that keegan
stole a large quantity of jewelry from his
sister, Miss Alice Keegan of AL Rhode
Island avenue; mink boa from Miss
Noonan. friend of his sister and an over
coat from E. c. Crippen of 921 ID street
Without the slightest hesitation, Keesan
admitted his guilt. He took the stand, and
explained to Judge Miller that whisky has
been the cause of his trouble. For two
years past, said the young man, he had
been in the habit of drinking, and fire.
quently during that period was Intoxicated.
He pawned the articles mentioned.
Il don't know what made me take them E"
said keegan to the court. Il am a ste
negrapher and typewriter, and always earn
ed good wages" He denied, however, that
he was in the employ of Senator Stewart.
After giving Keegan a lecture that ought
to result beneficially, Judge Miller imposed
fine of so in each Of the three cases with
sixty days Imprisonment in Jail in default.

Held for the Grand Jurx.

Grace Bond, young white woman. was
heid for the action of the grand jury in
wv bonds this afternoon by Judge Miller
for the larceny Of a gold watch, chain and
charm from John M. Hale. the proprietor of
lunch room at 424 10th street.
The defendant claimed that she has been
living with Hale for several months. and
that he gave her the watch as a present.
Becoming jealous because she went driving
with another man. said the prisoner. and
also because she objected to his relations
with a colored woman, Hale brought the
charge against her.
The police record, Of the Bond girl was
shown to be not as savory as It might
have been, aid that probably had not a
little to do WITH the stated action Of the
court. d,

George Robinson, the colored man who
assaulted Policeman Emmett SO completely
October q last at the corner Of 14th and
G streets, was held for the action of the
grand jury this afternoon by Judge Miller
1t will be remembered that Robinson, the
driver of an express wagon, was standing
in front Of Sloan's auction house and re-
fused to depart when ordered to do so by
Mr.. Sloan and later by Policeman Emmett
The latter finally placed the man under
arrest. Thereupon Robinson viciously as
saulted the policeman, among other things
dislocating one of his shoulders and sprain-
ing his left arm. The affair caused con-
siderable excitement at the time.
Messrs. Charles G. Sloan. Washington
Danenhower and Brown who witnessed the
assault, testified against Robinson The
defense was to the effect that the arrest was
unwarranted, and that Robinson was justi-
fed in making the assault. Judge Hmball
thought differently, however, and ruled as
stated.

John Early, small colored boy, has
found to his sorrow that 1t is poor policy
to shoot cats, even though the felines
might have evil designs on a flock of
pigeons owned by Early. The latter was
in the Police Court today. charged with
violating the police regulations by dis
charging firearm. 1t was only by a mar
row margin that the charge escaped being
murder or manslaughter
Mr.. Bernard NJ. Bridget and Mr.. J. L.
Davis testified that Saturday and Sunday
last bullets crashed through the windows
of their residences, coming from the rear of
Pierce street. After striking the wall one
of the bullets glanced of and landed
against Mr.. Brdgets daughter. but luckily
the force had by that time been expended
and the young lady was not seriously in
jured.
Investigation by the police showed that
Early was the person who fired the Shots
His excuse was that he was shooting cats
and did not mean to do any harm. The
court explained that il is a violation of
law to discharge firearm within the Dis
trict of Columbia without a permit, and i'm
POSED fine of $40.
