such was the pathetic tale told by aged
James Morris in the Police Court yes
terday, and as a result OF the evidence
introduced. Justice Robert w. Tomlin
held Nv. Gilbert, a barkesper at No.
% Brewer street, for the grand jury on
the charge of embeZzling $50 left In his

for safe keeping with Gilbert. After a

had cared for Morris as long as he
could, and asked for relief. Believing
the barkesper's story the chief took
measures to have Morris admitted to
