George Mccauley, all-round crook, burg

came near adding murder to his long list
OF crimes on Saturday last, when he at
tempted to shoot Detective Sutton, was
held by Judge Miller this afternoon on
the charge OF assault and battery with

hands as though he iongcd to clutch some
deadly weapon.
Lient. Brooke Arniss who's. bravery and
quick action, saved Sutton possibly from
death, testified first.
II saw Sutton talking to McCaulcy in
louisiana avenue Saturday. said the lieu
tenant. II came up and Sutton was trying
TO find out McCauley's business here"
Tell him straight story. / said to
McCauley. He refused, and l ordered Sut-
ton to arrest him.
The lieutenant then told how the crook
drew a revolver and pointed it at the de-
tcctiye's stomach.
II grabbed the gun" said Amiss coolly,,
Just as If such pcriis were an every da y bap-
pcning in h.s fifc. The sight caught in my
hand and il was discharged, the bullet
grazing my palm, striking the ground re-

Detective Sutton testified to the same
facts. as also did Special Officer Miles,
who assisted ~ oyerpowering McCaulcy.

A CHEMICAL TEST.
A half hours recess was taken at 1890
