HELD FOR
PERJURY |
The Case Grew Out of a Marriage
License.
PARENTS OPPOSED TO A UNION
Mrs. Miranda Smith Causes the Arrest OF
James Kinks Charging False Swear
ing as to the Age Of Her
Daughter Story of the
Accused.

case Of perjury tried before Justice
Toomey this afternoon aroused no little in
terest An irate mother who is trying 70
prevent her daughter from marrying young
man the former does not like was the prose
cutor and the defendant made q novel de-
Tense, or rather answer to the charge There
were number Of spectators in attendance
and they seemed to enjoy the proceedings
immensely.
The complainant in the case was Mrs.
Miranda Smith, who resides at the corner of
Chestnut and Lloyd streets james Kinks a
young man residing on Glovers' Hill, was
the defendant. Mrs. Smith seems to regard
Kinks as the Cuban insurgents do Captain
General Weyler and the cause of her feel
ings towards him is that he persists in pay
ing attention to her daughter, Dora. Cupid
has evidently been playing strong cards with
the latter, as she has clung to Kinks despite
the opposition Of her parents.
Yesterday Mrs. Smith heard that Kinks
and her daughter were about to get married
and that was the last straw The mother
made an investigation and learned that ON
the oath Of November last, Kinks procured
marriage license through Justice Cardin
upon the sworn statement that Dora Smith
was 2l years of age. This, Mrs. Smith saws
was ialse ana she procured a warrant for
Kinks arrest ON a charge Of perjury. Ex-
Justice Cardin was among the witnesses
subpoenaed for the hearing before Justice
IOomey this afternoon and he gave testi-
mony confirming Mrs. Smiths statements as
to the issuance of the marriage certificate
and the representations made by Kinks
under oath.
When the time arrived for Kinks to plead
he said that he never intended to marry the
girl, and would not wed her even if she was
lined with gold, although he admitted that
he had been paying attentions to her for
three years. or more. He was asked why, in
view of such declaration, he had procured
a marriage license. To this Kinks replied
that he had been playing game to tantalize
the girls parents The father and mother.
he said, were opposed to him aud he procured
the license to launt in their faces and show
them that they could not keep him from the
girl.
Justice Toomey remarked that Kinks per
haps got considerable satisfaction in tantal-
izing the old folks, but the explanation
would not go far before jury in court on
trial for perjury. He said Kinks took big
chances to tantalize. Bail was fixed in the
sum of $500.

BEFORE THE JUSTICE.
Several Cases Disposed of Last Night and
This Morning.


Justice Toomey's court was crowded last
night by litigants who aired troubles of
various degrees, some of the cases hinging
ON ohenses Of serious character and many
partaking of such trivial nature that the
Justice frequently gave vent to exclamation
Of impatience.
The most important case was that Of Millie
Derr. whose home is in VIM. Penn, but who
has been living as domestic at Lithuanian
boarding house ON North White street. The
woman is a German Pole and gives
her age as 80 years, but looks older
She made the serious charge Of rape
against Joe Katchinsky, hoarder in
the house in which she is employed. The
story Of the woman was that at about eleven
o'clock on Monday night she was on her way
to 60 to bed when Katchinsky intercepted
and forced her into his room. After taking
the depositions of several witnesses Justice
Toomey dismissed the charge made by the
woman and held the prisoner in $500 bail to
answer the charge of fornication at the
September term of court.
The next case to arouse interest was one
instituted by Harvey f. Kindt, the pretzel
baker. against August Waukhaus the West
Centre street saloonkeeper, whom Kindt
charged with selling liquor to minors and on
Sunday. The accused waived hearing and
entered 5000 bail for trial. He says Kindt
is his tenant and that the suit is a piece of
spite work following some trouble they have
had.
Jennie Reilly, a we'll known young woman
of town, was also a complainant before the
Justice. She resides on West Raspberry alley
with her parents. Her complaint was made
against Carl Constantine, a neighbor, and
the charge Is one of assault and battery.
Miss Reilly is a victim of st. Vitus' dance
and the disease causes her to frequently
make involuntary exclamations and gestures.
1t is charged that Constantine and his friends
make practice of mOcking the young
woman aud yesterday he spat In her face
Constantine was put under $500 bail
John and Andrew Messawitz were defend
ants on a charge Of highway robbery on
complaint of John Gitraitis, who alleged
that on Saturday night, last, the defendants
attacked him on the highway at Brownsville
and, while one held him by the throat, the
other robbed him of FIVE dollars The ac-
cused we're put under $500 bail, each
Mary Patchkis was arrested on oath of
Mary Binfsky for assault and battery. The
testimony showed that after an exchange of
compliments more forcble than elegant one
Mary punched the other Mary on the nose,
and the suit followed. Mary, the puncher,
was put under $500 bail.
Ellis Darvish an Arabian, was before
Justice Toomey this morning, charged with
trying to defraud John COnry out of rent.
The complaint was that Darvish leased a
store room and dwelling from Conry for a
year and remained in it short time over a
month. At late houl last night Darvish
vacated the premises.

The minoiz Mine STRIKERS.

Carterville, Ills, Aug. 1S.-The coal
strike, so far as Williamson county is
concerned, is almost a thing of the past
The st. Louis and Big Muddy Coal
company's mine has been. recognized
as the key to the situation all the time
and an effort was made yesterday to
turn the miners of this mine back as
they went to work, but without sue
cess. The crusaders then seemed to
give up all hope, and at once began
leaving town. All of the mines here
were run yesterday with full forces.
All the mines at Marion are running,
and the shaft at Johnson City which
has been idle almost a week, resumed
operations.
