RECLTNED ON
CHURCH STEPS
Was at the Right Church But
In the Wrong Pew.
THOUGHT HE WAS ACQUAINTED
At the Next Place at Which He Arrived
and Nearly Frightened
Lady out of Her
wits.

Considerable excitement was created
at the corner OF Union and Cedar
streets early Sunday morning by calls
for the police and incidentally screams
from residence in the vicinity. A
telephone call to police headquarters
was responded to by Sergeant Wielandt
and Officer Mortesen, who succeeded
in arresting Thomas Richards, who is
said to have caused the trouble. Rich
ards gave his residence as Carroll
county and he was In terrible state
OF intoxication. Richards, it was
learned afterward, wandered down
South Cleveland avenue and on reach
ing the U. B. church believed he had
found good resting place for the
night, so he removed his hat, coat and
vest, and laid his watch on the church
steps preparatory to going to sleep.
During the night he awakened and
wandered away, turning up at Union
street where he walked upon porch,
raped on door, and finding the said
door unlocked he mechanically walked
into the house and searched for bed
room in which to retire for
the night. Believing himself
in the house of an acquaintance he hal
looed as loud as he could, nearly scar
ing woman, who was reclining on the
bed, out of her wits. A member Of the
family came running into the room and
finding the stranger he fred him out
and called for the police. Richards
stated, Sunday, that he did not know
what he was doing, or that he believed
he was in the house of an acquaintance
Sunday morning one of Hagenbecks
showmen was at the Fort Wayne
station. In his hands he carried a coat
and vest and the watch lost by Rich
ards. The effects were handed over to
an officer with the request that the
owner thereof be found. At police
headquarters Richards identified the
clothing and it was restored to him
He was released Sunday on security be
ing given by him for his appearance
before the mayor. The hat was found
near the church building, but it wa:
unfit for wear and new one wa:
secured for him by the police.

DECISIONS In
BIG CASES
Courts Hand Down Some Opin.
ions of Importance.
DUEBER STOCK AT ISSUE
And Certificate That Is Alleged to Have
Been Forged Interested the Diebold
Safe and Lock Company
Court Notes.

Judge Taylor arrived in the city from
his home in Carrollton Monday morn
ing. Judge Taylor handed down two
decisions that had been reserved for
several weeks.
In the case OF Piero against the Due
Der Watch Case Manufacturing Co.,
which was heard two weeks ago, Judge
Taylor decided in favor OF the plaintiff
in the sum of about S1250. The
case brought out the fact that
]. A. Coburn transferred certificate
OF stock OF the value Of 81 1000 to Thos.
f. Turner, who in turn transferred the
stock to William J. Piero. Piero Sc
cured loan from Mrs. Hecklinger,
who formerly resided in this city, and
and gave the certificate OF stock as col
lateral security. The Dueber Watch
Case Co. set up the claim that the stock
was not ,Coburn's property originally
and that he had no right to sell the
stock certificate.
Judge Taylor held that the books oi
| the company showed that Coburr
was the owner of the stock and rem
dered Judgment for plaintiff in the sum
OF about 81, ,250 or the certificates actua
value. The suit rlthough instituted as
Piero vs. the Dueber company, wa:
really Mrs. Hechlinger against the
company as the judgemnt is in hel
favor. Judge A. A. Thayer represent
ed Piero and Austin Lynch 81 j. q
Given, the defendants.
The case of Wise vs. Tyler was alst
passed upon by Judge Taylor. ThC
suit was brought to recover pay
ment on forged certificate of Diebolt
Safe 81 Lock Co. stock which Dominica
Tyler is alleged to have given securit,
to the plaintiffs who represent the Far
mer's bank. Several parties set VI
priority of liens put on trial. Cour
found that the main contention was be
tween w. w Clark and A. G. Nc
Dowell of the Farmers bank. Th
certificate was for $4,000. The cour
held that the certificate of stock was
stolen one and that w. w. Clark wa
the owner at the time of sucl
stealing of said certificate an,
that Clark was the tru
and that Mcdowell and the bank wer
not the owners at the time. The cour
decided that plaintiffs had an equity il
certificates No. 1877 and 1853, which
however are practically valueless bu
not in certificate No. $50 which wa
held to be the property OF w. W
Clark. The decision was favorable t
