Many Complaints Against Hin.

At the time OF his last sentence there
were eight complaints against him for
er-driving horses, one only of which
was pressed, because he was apparently
good for five years at the reform school.
He had used these horses cruelty and in
addition TO the single-horse hitch-ups,
had obtained hack and a pair OF
horses, filled the vehicle up with girls
and started out on time with a driver
in charge. After a while he told the
hackman to drive 10 his house mat he
could go to his room To pay him. The
hackman hauled up in front of a Wash
ington street boarding house, and War
ner entering tie front door, passed out
of the rear one, vaulted a fence and es-
capped. The hackman stood waiting
half an hour before he discovered War
ner's trick.
In other instances Warner after driv-
ing the horses until they could barely
move, put them up at other stables, far
out from the city, and teller honed the
owners that II they wanted their prop
erty they must end for IL.
When Warner got out OF the reform
school in May he started on a new lay:
but that he was the crook was not
known until yesterday. A young man
began calling al stores. especially those
where boys and young men were tenn
porarily left In charge, and showing a
badge and representing himself to be
an officer inspected the cigar and to-
bacco cases, helping himself from some,
and in some instances giving large
orders. portions OF which he took away
with him, Of course, failing TO make a
payment

250 DAYS 10 Jail.

The 90 days and costs. and the $50
and costs fine, which must be worked
out, will keep Warner at the county
Jail for about 250 days.
He is a slick talker. a monumental
lar and can cry or laugh at viii. When
he was at the Sockanosset school no
became very plous and enlisting the
sympathy OF the st. Andrews Brother
hood, from the Church OF the Messiah,
in Olneyvjlle, claimed that another per-
son had mGsused horse and'that he
had been made the innocent victim OF
circumstances. One OF the brotherhood
called upon Agent Smith to ask him TO
use his influence to secure Warmers re-
lease
Mr.. Smith told the kind hearted and
well-intentloned gentleman that II he
Influenced the board OF state charities
and corrections to release Warner be-
fore his sentence expired, one OF seven
other warrants would be served. Then
he gave his caller a graphic account OF

a dsagreeable habit first before any
blasting is done of coming on the COM
plainants' premises and ordering every
one to get out OF the way Of the rocks.
An injunction is sought 10 prevent the
owners OF the quarry from operating

Begins New Career Of Crime
After Leaving Reform School.
Duped Young Clerks Left in Charge Of
Stores ARRESTED and Sentenced
on Two Charges.

A common cheat, common thief and
common nuisance, according to the
declaration made by the police TO Judge
Sweetland, was before the Sixth Dis
trict court this morning.
The individual who was given this
rather undesirable reputation, was Ed
ward Warner, who a few months ago
was liberated from Sockanosset School
for Boys.
Warner has long had the reputation
OF being light-fngered ana OF being
built on the lines OF regular crook He
has been repeatedly before the courts;
but not one-quarter as many times
as he could lave been, or would, had
he not made misrepresentation which
caused half a dozen complaints TO be
shelved.
He has been a continual nuisance to
stable and hackmen. from whom he
has obtained rigs, even 10 hack, upon
false pretences, and has driven the
horses until they have all but collapsed
These turn-outs he has generally OBJ
tained by calling up the stable men on
Telephones and ordering hitch-ups in
the names of other people.
Three times he has been sentenced
for cruelty TO horses. Once he was
fined SIS, once $40 and costs and the
third time he was given a minority
sentence. AT that time he represented
himself TO be Is years old, doing so tC
save himself from a Jail sentence. He
was actuallyj19 years old. and when he
did reach his majority his people went
out toSockanosset, presented proofs OF
his age and three months ago he was
liberated.

COUNCIL MAY SETTLE THE QUESTION.

An architect from New York, repre-
senting Miss Enid Yandel the emin-
ent sculptor, whose design for the Bal
notti memorial was chosen by the COM
mission, was in town this morning and
held a conference with Mayor Baker
and Commissioner OF Public Works
Smith. The architect came TO Provi-
dence in order TO secure some informa-
tion concerning the proposed location
of the fountain, but this point seems to
be still in doubt There has been a
popular impression that the fountain
would be located in the center of the
parkway in front of the new station,
but no action has been taken so far
Commissioner OF Public Works Smith
is OF the opinion that the proper place
for the fountain is In the center Of Ex-
change Place. midway between the Sol
diers' monument and the Burnside
statue, and in this view he is support
ed by several persons who have given
the matter some thought. Others. how
ever, favor the idea Of putting the
fountain in the park and thus the ma/-
ter stands for the present and prob
ably will remain until the city council
expresses its opinion, although this IS
not deemed TO be necessary by some
persons, for they claim the money is
available to construct the fountain.
While this is very true. the fact that
the fountain is 10 be located on city
property fully entities the city council
10 the privilege of saying where 1t shall
be placed.
This question also calls attention TO
the fact that UP 10 the present time
nothing has been done towards laying
out the land devoted to park purposes
in front of the station. The depart
ment OF public works is grading the
triangular piece on which the bell tow
er is located but is not authorized To do
anything more. The park commission
ers have no authority to go ahead. be-
cause the city council has not turned
the land over to them for park pur-
poses, and until this is done the rank
weeds will probably continue TO flour
ish, as they have been doing for the
past two months.
II has been suggested that when the
city council resumes business a reso-
luton be prepared directing the park
commissioners to lay out the land for
park purposes, and submitting an es-
innate Of the cost and this will prob
ably be done.

Got Rings and Umbrella.

Between the time he met her and
their embarkat!on on the Providence
bjund steamer, he had talked her into
letting him take care OF two rings and
an umbrella, all tj.tee articles being
her sisters property and as he had
neither OF them when he was taken in.
II is supposed that he pawned them
in Newport and got enough OF a loan
on them 10 pay their fares to this city.
Warner was taken to the city hall
and later lodged at the Central station.
This morning he pleaded guilty TO the
charge of larceny from Mr.. Williams.
Then IL was that Chief Baker gave
Judge Sweetland a little insight as TO
Warmers record, and the court i'm
posed a sentence OF so days in Jail.
Warner supposed that chat ended lis
troubles for the nonce; but he was
rudely awakened from that dream of
temporary ease by the preferment OF
the charge that on July 9Th he had
over driven Walter j. Nichols horse.
