SEPH REILLY AND HAS HIM
LOCKED UP
JUDGE HINE RELEASES HIM
In the Opinion of the Temporary
Prisoner, Who Is Witness I'm
the Policy Shop Cases, Mr.. McIn-
tire Is Too Fresh-Charge Against
Him Was Threatening the In
spectOr-StOry of the Latter.

License Inspector McIntire, who, sew
eral days ago, assisted Mayor Kiefer in
the policy raid, jumped into the saddle
again yesterday, and, single-handed and
alone, made an arrest. The prisoner was
Joseph Reilly, one of the quintette ar
rested in the policy shop raid. McIntire
took his prisoner to the central station
where he was locked up on a charge OF
threatening an officer. His bail was
fixed at $25, but Reilly sent for his attor-
ney, Stan Donnelly, and was brought be-
fore the municipal court shortly before
o'clock. Judge Hine, who was on the
bench, decided that as Reilly was al
ready under bonds to appear in the court
today additional bail would not be neces-
sary.
Mc1ntire explained yesterday afternoon,
before the arrest was made, that he had
good notion to get a warrant and ar
rest Reilly. According to McIntire, he
saw Mrs. Wireacre at the corner of
Fourth and Cedar streets, shortly before
noon. The woman is the mother of the
boy who was wanted by the police to tes-
tify in court against Reilly on the charge
u conducting d pOLlCy SHOP.
when he saw Mrs. Wireacre, stopped her
and Informed her that the police did not
want her son as a witness as the case
was over. He said he did this simply to
impress the woman with the idea that her
son was not wanted, thinking the lad
might return. Before he could hold any
further conversation with Mrs. Wireacre
on the subject Reilly stepped up and,
taking the woman by the, arm, led her
away calling out to McIntire that he
would fix him If he was inclined to be
too fresh. -.
TWO hours later McIntire was about the
city hall, telling how he had thrown
Reilly into a cell at the central station.
L met him in front of 63 East Seventh
street" said McIntire land asked what
ne meant by saying he was going to fix
me. lie said was no officer and could
not arrest any one. So just threw him

could not threaten me-"

Judge Hine, said McIntire was too fresh

threatening McIntire will come up this
AFTERNOON in the police court.
