| warrant and writ of scire facias issued
Armed with the warrant, Deputy James

kollock's store, No. 401 street southeast
The store is green grocery, and in Ait
Sprfngman found Kollock waiting on a
customer. The deputy informed Kollock of
his errand, and he was completely unnerved
and begged not to be locked up
Springman replied that he had no power
but to obey the courts order, but he wait
ed till kollock served other customers, who
came in and who were kept in ignorance
OF the little tragedy going on before them.
Then Kollock was taken to the marshars
office and the clerks in charge there told
the deputy to show him every consfdera-
ton. He was, however, ordered to be
taken to Jail. On the way, Springman
stopped with his prisoner at No. 302 D

grandmother, aged eighty years, are stop
ping. The mother is very Ill. Both women
were greatly distressed, the grandmother
wringing her han DIS and crying out, 81

oner also burst into tears. 1t was very
trying scene for the deputy, whose good
nature and kind heart are well known to
the thousands of prisoners he has handled.

women, and has remained unmarried in
order to fulfill his duty toward them. 1t
is said he is a member of a church, a young
man of fine habits and warmly Endorsed by
the prominent men of Southeast Washing
ton. Kollock, in spite of the effort of
friends, spent the night in Jail.
The court record shows that the prisoner

$3.50 total of fine and costs in two cases for
violating the oleomargarine laws. He APP
pealed, and Joseph Wilkins gave bond for
$1,000. December ., 1896, the Court of APP
peals issued a mandate affirming the judg-
ment of the Supreme Court of the District.
The sentence Of July was ordered car
ried into effect December IA of that year.
Nevertheless, nothing was done in the mat
ter until yesterday, when the defendant was
called to serve sentence and did not re-
spond
kollock must lie in Jail until he pays $3.50
or is released through other legal proceed
ings
