said she wanted him punished. How is
this" said Judge Stone. tMr. Fuller
told me you and he had patched it up.
That he was to let you draw his pay,
and not beat you any more" u can't
trust him." replied Mrs. McEvelley.
"Well, want to keep this family to-
gether, and Ill continue the case for a
month, for sentence"
AfcEvelley asked to say few words.

cautioned him not to commit any other
offence in the month, lest he be pun

Paul Poll, who threatened officer
William Johnston with q pocket knife,
last night, had his own idea of Ameri-
can justice. He said not guilty when
he was charged with assault and with
being drunk. He could not talk Eng
lish and the court operated through an
interpreter. The examination was evil
IDENTIFY little irksome. He hesitated
when the interpreter, instructed by the
court, asked If he wanted to make a
statement, then jabbered something.
The interpreter hesitated.
What does he say"' asked his
honor.
"He says" replied the interpreter,
that he don't want to say anything.
He says he has the money and that he
wishes you would get through, so he
can pay you Off" Even Judge Stone
smiled. The court said IS for the
drunk and IS for the assault. Polls
friends were equipped with $5, but they
hadn't $40. They were much surprised
to learn that the courts price was not
S. flat. Later they raked together IS
more and saved Poll from going over.
John F. Rice said not guilty to be-
ing drunk. He succeeded in bringing
out the fact that Officer James Craig,
who arrested him, was a little more
patient than Job, and was fined $40 in
stead of the usual price
