Victory for Marin County.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. SIT took a jury
about ten minutes in Judge Angellotti's
court here this afternoon to decide that
the county was not indebted to the con-
stables and justices of Sausalito for work
performed by them in catching tramps.
The suit against the county was for
claims aggregating more than $1,000. The
trial lasted several days and the methods
of tramp catching were fully exploited.
In his charge to the jury this afternoon
Judge Angellotti disposed of about $500 of
the claims by ruling that the justices
could not recover fees when their records
were incomplete or when they had sim
ply ordered man to leave town.
