BRAKE HIS FINGER.
Judge of Kangaroo Court Assaulted
by a Mooden-L equed Defendant,

Louis McAvoy, convicted of attempt
ed rape and other Offenses, and who
has been prisoner at the county Jail
so long that he has forgotten when he
was locked up, is suffering from the eff
fects of broken finger.
A reporter happened to drop in at
the Jail today while DR.. Stevenson was
dressing McAvOy's hand and for the
| first time learned the particulars of the
accident which occurred three weeks
ago.
It seems that during their long
hours of confinement the prisoners Of
ten seek to amuse themselves in
various ways. One of their fsvorite
pastimes is holding kangaroo court
and trying one another on various fake
charges. In this manner some of the
prisoners become quite familiar with
the procedure of real courts, and when
they face the bar of justice are at an
advantage.
During these trials McAvoy was Of
ten selected as judge of the fake tri-
bunals. Whether this was because of
his superior attachments and thorough
knowledge of the law. CLEANED during
his many trials in the courts of this
county, no one seems to know.
However, since the session of the
kangaroo court was held three weeks
ago, with Judge McAvoy presiding,
that dignitary has taken q solemn VOW
that the next trial he participated in
would be the real thing.
At the kangaroo session referred to
wooden-legged man was arraigned
for stealing the food of another prison
err. Everything went we'll until the
time came for the judge to charge the
jury. The wooden legged
man riz up and swore that he
was not being given square deal. He
didn't like the law as interpreted by
Judge McAvoy and proceeded to as
sault the court. 1t required the COM
biped efforts of the lawyers, jurors
and witnesses to pull off the
man with the cork leg and he was not
pacifed until he had foored McAvoy
and stamped on the PROSTATE mans
right hand, SCATTERING the bone of his
index finger so that his arm has been
in splints ever since.

PLEAD GUILTY.

Francisco Gonzales Made q Clean
Breast OF 1t And Was Given q
Light Sentence.
A special venire of SO men had
been summoned to appear at the dis.
trict court this morning from which q
jury was to be selected to try Francisco
Gonzales, an aged Mexican, charged
with outraging twelve-year-old Vicen-
ia Lira.
Soon after court opened, however, it
was announced that Gonzales was
ready to plead guilty and he did So.
He made a clean breast of the whole
thing, and throwing himself on the
mercy of the court was given an ex-
ceedingly light sentence, considering
the enormity of the offense with which
he was charged.
1t WAS ordered that he serve five
years in the penitentiary.
In telling the story of his revolving
crime, Gonzales said that he was not
guilty of criminal assault, but the child
had been intimate with him for some
time before her parents found it out
and caused his arrest. He seemed to
take his conviction philosophically and
to be thankful to escape with SO light a
sentence.

in the district court this morning and
by his council, w. D. Howe, plead not
guilty to the Indictment.
Thereupon the court ordered the

to trysGarcia.
The date of the trial has been set for
November 20 and will probably take
place in this county for defendants
attorney has not yet signifed his in
tention of asking for change of
venue.
It is said that circumstantial evil
dence will be chiefly relied on to Sc
cure a conviction of Garcia and, owing
to the prejudice alleged to exist
against the prisoner it was thought for
Q time that q change of venue might
be asked of the court.
The defendant protests his innocence
and as his people have some money, che
case is likely to be fought to the last
and all possible legal stepstaken to Sc
cure an acQuittal.
