PRISONER FEIGNED DEAFNESS,
But When He Left the Court Room He
Could Hear All Right.

There are a good many strange people
in the City Court during the course of n
year but in point of peculiarties Archie
Berry. or whatever his name may prove
to be, will rank well toward the head of
the list. Berry was arrested early Mon
day morning by officer Ryan, who found
him lying on his face in the rain back Of
Conlin's feed store in Dodd's block on Wi
nOoski avenue. He was awakened after
some trouble and supported to Jail. Berry
gained control of himself on the way to
the Jail but not sufficiently SO that Sheriff
Reeves when called as a witness could not
say that the man was very drunk.
Monday afternoon Berry was conduct
ed to the City Court room and feigned
deafness Grand Juror Macomber and
Judge Hawkins shouted at the prisoner
until their Threats were sore and hard y
made an impression upon his tympanum.
He said he was not drunk, that he only
fell OFF, that he got some liquor across
the lake, that it was his business and sew
eral other things. AS the judge ordered
him back to Jail and Officer Russell con-
Quoted the prisoner out of the room a
man sitting as "A spectator addressed Ber-
~ in ordinary conversation and he re
piled. He was recognized by Sheriff
Reeves and Officer Cosgrove as a man
often seen on Battery street who was
sometimes called by another name than
Berry. TO their conversation in ordinary
tones he also replied.

NO MONUMENT WANTED.
Effort to Restrain a Boston Priest From
Marking Father Lynch's Grave.

There was to have been a hearing Mon
day morning before Judge Taft on the
application of Bishop Michaud of the
Catholic diocese of Burlington for an in
junction restraining Rev. Gerald Pagan Of
East Boston from erecting monument
upon the grave of Rev. Father Lynch, la tie
of Fair Haven. The contract for the
monument was given by Father Pagan to
Hulihan Bros. of Center Rutland and it is
understood to be "A contract involving
$500
The application for an injunction is
made for Bishop Michaud by Judge NJ. a.
Bingham. The basis of the application is
the fact that the remains of Father Lynch
were inferred upon the lands of the church
which are the property of the diocese of
Burlington and over which the bishop has
control. No consent has been secured for
the erection OF the monument. No hear
ing was held in the morning and as no at
torney appeared for the other side the pa
pers were placed in the hands of Judge
Taft in the afternoon without argument.
He has not announced decision.
1t is stated in Rutland that Bishop
Michaud for the diocese has a claim
against the estate of Father Lynch
amounting to about 5000 His estate Is
valued at about $500.
