Two footpads attempted to hold up f.
B. Lacey at 2:30 O'Clock this morning, but
did not make a successful job of it, as
Lacey refused to give up his cash, and
putting up a stiff fight, beat off the high
waymen. Lacey is proprietor of the NJ
& M. eating house in South Main street,
and caters particularly to the all-night
element. For this reason he is usually
on duty until a late hour This morning
between 2 o'clock and half-past he made
up his cash and started for his room at
the Will house, corner of Broadway and
Arizona street. He reached home at 2:3O
and found two men standing in the door
way of the main entrance on Broadway.
He paid no attention to them. but started
to go in, when they both jumped him.
He had about 500 with him, and having
no especial desire to part with it, he
struck out with such vigor and such good
effect that his assailants, fearing capture,
quit and fled. Lacey proceeded at once
to police headquarters and reported He

Lord Curzon, with thu assembled officers,

WAS NOT A TEST CASE
The Doctors Gave Good and
Sufficient Excuses.
IN THE POLICE COURT
They We're Charged With Failure to
Return Death Certificates as Re-
quired by Law-The Cases
Were Dismissed

There was a doctors matinee in the
police court yesterday afternoon when
the physicians who had been arrested
at the instance of Health Officer DR..
Shultz appeared to tell the court the
facts with reference to the specific al
legations made in the various coG
plants charging them with having
failed to return death certificates to
the health officer in compliance with
the requirements of a city ordinance.
Contrary to expectations, test case
was not made of any of the cases. but
each doctor gave such good and SUI
ficient reason for failure to send in a
death certificate in the particular case
in which failure to obey the city law
was charged, that the court was una
BILE to see why the physicians were ar
rested, and dismissed all the cases.
In the cases of Drs Freund and
Whitford the cases were dismissed
without being called up. In the case of
DR.. Isabella Glidden. Mrs. Glidden
stated that she did not see the pa
tient for three days prior to death, and
that the patient was dead and buried
two days before she knew of it, and
she was never called upon for a death
certificate. Judge Terrell thought Dr.
GliddenS reasons for not issuing a GER
tfcate were ample and dismissed the
case
DR.. Leggat said he had been attend
ing Patrick Enearv but the family did
not follow his instructions, and he
warned them that they must or he
would cease to treat the patient. The
family then notified him that they did
not want him any longer, and he never
saw the patient again. He had no
means of knowing whether he was the
last physician who saw the patient,
Dismissed.
DR.. Mcdonald was charged with fall
ure to return death certificate in the
case of Mrs Thomas Driscol. He
ceased to attend the patient two weeks
before she died and knew of no rea-
son why he should sign certificate.
In this case Dr. Shultz testified that
no certificate had ever been issued and
the woman had been buried and no per-
nit for burial had ever been granted.
DR.. Shultz said it was the law that the
doctor last attending should sign the
death certificate. and it was to enforce
| the law that the arrests were made.
