AN INSURANCE SOUABBLE.
There Is Trouble Over Dividing o
Amount of n Policy.


The hearing of the case of Joseph
Evans, of Cayuga street, charged
by his aunt. Mrs. Margaret O'Hara,
with the larceny of a check Of $3.50,
took place before Alderman Howe
yesterday. Attorneys r. J. Bourke
and John H. Bonner represented the
defendant and Beale & Boyle the pros
ecutrix.
1t appears Mrs. OHoro and her nep-
hew bargained to divide the returns
Of policy she had on the life of a
Mrs. Brady, in consideration of Evans
having helped her pay the premiums
while her husband was out west.
The woman died recently and the
company in which the insurance was
held sent on a check for $3.50. For fear
Mrs. O'Hora's husband would interfere
in the bargain between herself and her
nephew it was agreed that the letter
should be delivered to Evans house.
Letter Carrier Jenkins did this but
when Mr.. O'Hora heard of it he threat
ened prosecution and the carrier went
back to Evans to get the letter. Evans
refused to give it up and still retains
it.
Mrs. O'Hora, 1t Is alleged, agreed
according to five witnesses that Evans
should endorse the check with her
name, get it cashed and divide the
amount. When her husband interfered
she went back on the alleged agree
ment and yesterday at the hearing re-
pudiated the whole alleged bargain,
Alderman Howe said he felt satisfied
that the case would get into court
sometime and decided in order to save
all parties extra annoyance to send 1t
there at once. He accordingly held
Evans in $500 bail to answer at court.
Z. f. Leonard became his bondsman.

ALWAYS Gives Justice.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The article in the Times of this
evening under the caption of Alderman
Kellow's Action Criticised" seems to be
the act of an over exhilerated person,
the main facts being that in civil cases
the alderman after hearing every witness
without being a member of the honor
able Lackawanna BARI gives his judgment
according to the evidence brought to bear
upon the case. Alderman Kellow always
tries to render justice 20 all comers and
without a doubt, II allowed by some
promising young attorneys, will succeed.
