No. 27 Orchard street, is entirely too
fresh, so Justice Potts in the First Grim

blocking the entrance of a Newark ave-
nue. store by rolling large casks into the
doorways. The officer made the young
fellow put the casks back in their place.
The officer decided to let the young man
go and was roundly abused for his kind
ness. The patrolman was called the
vilest of names. Baldwin then ran away
and was pursued by the officer and was
caught.
"You are too fresh, remarked the
Court as the fine of IS was imposed. Not
having the necessary money, the fresh

faith with Justice Nevin in securing the
release of the men on writ of habeas

stood that the case was reopened and
would be disposed of Tuesday morning,
but he did not understand that the men
were to be locked up.
Only the evidence of the State was TAX
en- this morning. The men all admit
brea4iing the ordinance against reckless
blasting. They were paroled again until
tomorrow morning when the defense will
be made.
Mr.. Hendricks though denied the privi-
lege of appearing as counsel for the men,
through Counsellor Mervyn Armstrong,

moved for a change of venue and de-
manded trial by jury These motions

together are good: money and refinement
are not a specially favored condition, as
