of Liveryman Riley Edwards drivers
from spending last night in a station

gret that the aforesaid magic circle in
tervened.
Ike Seidman. runner" for the Union
Transfer company and incidentally a
special officer, was chatting at the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
station at midnight with Detective
John Moir. when George Lance, EN-
ployed by Liveryman Edwards i'm driv-
ing the mail wagon, happened along
and it is alleged, gave evidence by his
actions of having helped. in very ma
terial way in the violation of one of the
Sabbath laws.
Seidman made some joking remark to
Detective Moir about the condition
which the mail driver was in and Lance
overheard it. He retorted in angry
tones, but was quieted by the detective
and told to go about his business.
SEIDMAN OvERTAKEN.
About ten minutes later, while walk
ing UP Lackawanna avenue, Seidman
was overtaken by the mail wagon,

commenced to assail Seidman with OPP
probious names. Julius Coons, another

wagon. jumped off and advanced to-

Sedman warned him that he was a
special officer and that if he created
any disturbance he would be arrested
| This only made Coons the more turbu-

Ger. Sedman warned him again to de.
sist and, when he refused, told him ht
could consider himself under arrest
and reached his hand out to take hole
of him.
At this Lance dropped the reins, de.
serted his wagon with it's precious bur
den and pitched into the special of.
ficer. Coons lent a hand, and between
them they gave the unfortunate Seid
man a brutal drubbing. He was hal
conscious and his face bruised and Gov
cred with blood when Detective Moi
and Patrolman Boland pulled his vic

The law that forbids the arrest of {

Coons was taken to the station hous
and locked up, while Seidman was as
