new EXPERIENCE FOR POLICE.

Clinton, July 17.-New things happen
at the police station occasionally, not
withstanding the dictum that there is no
new thing under the sun. A new thing
in bailers did happen into the Office of
Chief Bates this morning. He was
Robert Jones of Boston, who came to
furnish bonds for Martha and Rich
ard Bush, who are under arrest charged
with stabbing Harry Kennedy and
Thomas Ryan, as told in The Spy this
morning.
Jones was the best dressed colored
man the police have ever seen. He was
well supplied with bank books on Bos-
ton banks. The books represented more
than thousand dollars in cold cash.
But his chief popularity was his teeth.
These were glistening rows of yellow
gold. In one Of the upper middle in
cisors a diamond was set-a real dia-
mond, that snapped fire when he OPP
ened his mouth to speak. They may
do that sort Of thing in Boston, but
here the habit Of wearing diamonds on
the upper front teeth is not established
and the spectacle Of SO much wealth in
gold and precious stones caused Chief
Oren B. Bates to gasp with pleased
surprised.
Jones said he was brother to Mar
tina Bush. my business is battling
people he said with yellow smile
like small sun, ''but never expected
to bail my own sister"
IOnes was evidently business man.
He accomplished the formalities neces-
6ary to the release of his sister with
Clerk Frank E. Howard, in few min
utes Clerk Howard took one OF the
bank books for security
Chief Bates opened the cell doors and

. been imprisoned since 3 o'clock Sunday
morning. They were glad to be out.
The cells in the Clinton police station
are not the pleasantest quarters in the
world.
Richard and Martha had a hearing
before Associate Justice Smith this
morning. The man said:
IT am guilty 30 the extent that tried
to defend myself The woman said
she was not guilty. The court con-
tinued the case until Monday of next
week under bonds of $500 each.
Mrs. Bush Is a comely and interesting
mulatto woman. She is handsomely
clothed for person in her position.
Robert Jones left on an afternoon
train for Boston. He was smiling as
pleasantly as If he had not pledged a
few hundred dollars upon the fidelity Of
his sister AMI her husband. Every time
he smiled, a sparkle came from his
mouth, producing a faint blue, fami-
liar illumination, such as emanates
from a stud on the bosom of a prosper
Gus bartender. And Jones garments
were as natty as his teeth. He wore a
business suit made in one of the new
checks The diamond in his tooth was
still without competition from diamonds
on his hands or in his shirt bosom. For
small stone this diamond was Won
fully effective
Bush claims to be able to show that
he did the cutting in self-defense. Ken
nedy, the man who was taken to the
hospital, was doing well this after
noon.
With eyes boldly uplifted and shame
less face, Edward Carr told Associate
Justice Smith in the district court this
morning, that he, the defendant, was
not guilty Of assaulting Mary E. Kit
tredge.
His conviction followed fast upon the
unvarnished story of Mary and her
sister margaret as result of which,
aitnough he is out of jail, Carr Is bear
ing punishment greater than the
court in its mercy inflicted.
the story told by the young women
was conclusive They were modest
young women who had come into court
with greatest reluctance. In fact they
mad not appeared until they had been

ground that 1t was their duty to pro-
tect other young women from such
nruies as Carr, by helping to make an
example of him.
Carr, Margaret said had pursued her
with mis- attentions, and she was real
~ AFRAID of him. She was assured of
the utmost protection of the police in
the event Of any further attempt to
annoy her and at last agreed to come
tuto court with her sister
MARY hHtCedge displayed a disagree
able wound under her left eye. The
flesh beneath the eye was bruised and
inf1amed. This injury was the result
OF blow which Carr struck with mus
Gle and purpose to injure her.
In her testimony Mary told the story
of the assault, which happened Satur-
day evening. She was riding UP Main
street on her wheel when she heard
the voice of her sister. Margaret was
speaking sharply to some one, in evil
cent annoyance. She rode up boldly
&nd found Carr trying to force atten-
V1ons upon the girl, with the view of
escorting her to her home. Mary ask
ed the defendant to go about his bust
ness.
Then" said the witness, ''he called
me vile names and would not go away
and I slapped him as hard as I could
across the face"

with thrust which knocked the wit
ness down and wounded her face be-
meath the eye. AS she struggled to
her feet he struck her a second time.
Blood was streaming down her face.
Margaret interposed to prevent other
violence, Carr finally leaving them.
Margaret made an interesting wit
ness. She said that when she reached
the Houghton place on Main street she
took to the middle of the road to avoid
fellows who were drinking there from
a bottle. Carr stepped out and de-
manded to go home with her She de-
clined the honor and he threatened
her.
Carr asked few questions. One was
If the witness considered that he in
suited her when he asked If he might
see her home.
There was scorn in the girls manner
as she replied: II did consider it an
insult for you to ask me to let you 20
home with me-"
Haven't ! ever been home with you
before?"
You have, but it was in spite of my
objections"
His honor said: This is a serious
