A Cleveland landlord has one of his
houses tenanted by a family that is out of all
proportions to the size of the dwelling. In
fact, he strongly suspects that there are at
least two distinct families in the house, and
he is quite anxioussto get rid of them. He
doesn't want to turn them out, and he has
been hoping they would take the frequent
hints he gives them and seek some other To-
cation Lately they have complained Of a
leaky roof, but the landlord has determined
to make no repairs until they leave
A few days ago the head of the household
waited on him.
.'Well, sor," he said, chat roof has been

SALES OF PAPERS.
Decision Affecting the PriviIeges of
the Newsboys.

the lNeWsDoSS.
Judge Scott rendered a decision in the
Police Court this morning which bears on
the rights of pewsboys and passengers on
street cars diminishing boy charged With
violation of the police regulations. The
question at issue involved the privilege of
newsboys to Jump on street cars and sell
rapers. Bicycle Policeman Duval was
complainant i'll the case Of small colored
boy named James Lacy.
The information was that the boy did
jump. stand and play on the platform of a
street car, he being a minor and not a
passenger The proof in the case was
that the boy was standing at New York
aN enue and 9th street yesterday, and when
q passenger on a car WhiStled he responded
and sold a paper.
Attorney Peyton argued that the boy had
not violated any law. 1t was ridiculous, he
thought, to assume that the lawmakers in
tended any such thing as charged. Such
a law would certainly interfere with the
public, and be a great inconvenience to
those who want papers when they are on
street cars.
Judge Scott agreed with counsel. The
charge that the boy played on the street
car he decided had not been established.
Il think" said the court, that when
tho Commissioners framed this law they
had no idea that 1t should cover such a
case as this
ly jumps on and off cars soliciting business
the law might apply. Boys who are called
by passengers, he said, jump the cars
at their own risk. and if one of them
should lose his life he alone would be re-
sponsible. The charge was thereupon dis
missed, and the boy was discharged from
custody.
Policeman Duvall told the court that he
had received instructions to arrest all boys
found jumping on street cars. Another
small colored boy, arrested by Duvall,
pleaded guilty to a charge of jumping on a
9th street car. He was fined 81, and not
having the money, he stepped back. In
less the fine is paid the boy viii spend six
days on the farm.

rea scnable provocation and in pursuit of
premeditated purpose. Frequently he re-
lnforced his assertions of Canty's guilt BIZ
reading from the typewriter record of evil
dence.
The District attorney declared that all
the evidence shows that Canty fixed I'D the
story that Rye had a knife, two hours after
the man mad been killed. He also asserted
that defendants counsel did not know that
CAVITY himself had a weapon until ii was
developed in evidence
1ou Know that is untrue" hotly cried
Mr.. Worthington, who stated the circuu
stances attending his first and previous
knowledge of it.
IF Canty believed that his life was in
canger and he would be killed, why in
Gods name, did he not pay this premium
on the Gay, the 18th, il fell due before the
shooting, and not let It lapse?' th;;ndered
Mr.. Davis, walking up and down in front of
notice to Canty
He passed the place several times He
even went by the bank in which he had on
deposit more than four times the amount
necessary to pay the premium when il was
due 1t is by just such little things as this,
overlooked IN a plan of elaborate defense,
by which men have been convicted of the
most heinous offenses.
The Revolver Incident.
Going to the method of carrying the re-
volver, Mr.. Davis said:
"Canty said he carried the revolver I'm the
front pocket of his trousers because the hIp
pocket was too small. and had him wear
than here in the court room in order to
Show you-and he did show you-that the
weapon fitted as well into the hip as the
front pocket. And I will tell you why he
carried 1t there" said Mr.. Davis, thrusting
mis- hands into his pockets and ,,lanting
himself in front of the jury because car
ned IN this way no man could tell he was
armed"

and testified that he was talking with Can
ty just before the shooting, and looking
over his shoulder, saw Rye near at hand
in an evident angry mood, does my Brother

Judge Wilson rapidly and emphatically
called off the name of witness after witness
who had shown Rye's nearness to CAVITY,
ard as he stated the substance of each
ones evidence he cried:

He assented that testimony given upon
two points would show conclusively that
Canty did believe his life was in danger
from Rye and that he feared the latter
would take his life. Judge Wilson rehears-
ed the threats of Rye to get his money
from CAVITY or he (Rye) would kill him.
He spoke Of the penknife which Rye bran
dished the day of the alteration, and TAX
ing it from Clerk Galley, he held it in his
hand before the jury, saying:
Let a man strike another over the heart
with even this weapon, and death would
follow. Rye was brandishing this, up and
down, as he threatened Canty, using lam
guage too vile to be repeated, saying III
