CASE WAS IN COURT TODAY
SMITH ACCUSED OF AssAULTING
CARR AND PLEADED GUILTY
JOSEPH WEBSTER HELD ON A
SERIOUS CHARGE - OTHER
CASES.
When Isaac Smiths brothers dog
barked at William Carr on Garasche
lane on Thursday morning last, it Gre
ated a deal of trouble and caused the
arrest of Isaac on a charge Of assault.
Smith, who is of a dusBy hue, was
the first prisoner arraigned before
Judge Ball in City Court this morning.
He was charged with striking Carr, a
respectable looking white man. He
pleaded guilty and was fined s. and
costs for the offense.
The facts of the case, as brought out,
are as follows On Thursday morning
last William Carr was walking in the
vicinity of Garasche lane in a peace
able manner, in pursuit of his daily Oc-
cupation. AS he neared the house oc-
cupied by Smith, his sisters and bro
theirs, he encountered a dog, which was
attached to a rope held by a cOlored
child The animal rushed at Mr.. Carr
and attempted to bite him, but did not
succeed, owing to Carr's vigorous foot
movements.
After the first attack the dog retired,
but renewed the assault a few mo-
ments later. AS he did not come with
in kicking distance the second time,
Carr picked up half brick and threw
It. The missile did not strike the dog,
but came within an ace Of hitting one
of a number of cOlored children who
were cOngregated in the vicinity. The
animal ran when Mr.. Carr threw the
brick, and pulling on the rope upset
the child holding it. In its fall the
yOungster knocked down several
others. Their cries attracted several
colored women to the scene, who sur
rounded Carr and demanded an expla-
ion of his conduct. He tried to give
e. statement of the facts, but it was un-
satic -actory, so one Of them summoned
l-Aac Smith, who was in bed, to
straighten out matters.
Isaac descended the stairs and en-
gagged in an alteration with Carr, the
result of which was that he "poked
him one in the jaw" for which he was
arrested. The result has been mem
toned.
IN HEAVY BAIL
Joseph Webster, colored. aged 10
years, was charged with using 13-year-
old Mamie Briggs, also colored, Of No.
909 Orange street, for immoral pur-
poses. The court at first supposed it to
be a case of rape, but upon hearing the
evidence held the prisoner in 81 600 bail
for upper court. Sergeant Black made
the arrest, and Webster admitted the
Offense to him.
