SIXTY DAYS FOR CONTEMPT.
An Impertinent Augusta Policeman
Sent to Jail.

An Impertinent Augusta Policeman
Sent to Jail.
Augusta, Ga, Dec. 3.-Policeman Patrick
Brock is in trouble. He is in jail, and
when he gets out will probably find it
difficult to make satisfactory excuse to
the police commissioners for his long alb
sence from duty.
Policeman Brock was off duty last night,
and was arrested for being drunk and dis
orderly in a barroom. This morning ne
was up before Recorder Baxter and was
fined $3.50.
Judge, you have not proved me guilty,
and yet you fine me-" remarked Brock
Il disagree with you" remarked the
judge.
Then the policeman said to the judge In
angry tone:
IF I ever get chance at you, III fix
you"
Are you speaking to me?" asked the
judge.
Yes, am speaking to you" was the
answer"
Take that man out and lock him up
] change his sentenced to sixty DAYS in
Jail, and I want the sentence carried out
to the letter"
1t is claimed by the friends of the police
man that the Recorders jurisdiction does
rot allow him 90 sentence a man longer
than ten days, and it is said that at the
end of that time habeas corpus proceed
ings will be instituted to secure his lib
crty.
