 Is Held For Superior Court
 The city court was crowded this morning and had to be weeded out by Chief Egan before proper breathing space could be had. Judge Peasley was on the bench and a fuller house than that which faced Judge Burpee yester- day was to be disposed of.
 Michael Lyons and his sister-in-law, Mary, were found in company yester- day by Officer Cavanaugh travelling the town. Mrs Lyons has child and it was shown that she was not pro per person to care for it. Lyons was fined $10 and costs and his companion was sentenced to thirty days in jail. Her child will have to be taken care of by the poor authorities.
 Jane Conaty was found by Officer Bowling on Brown street drunk. FIX cepting the name the circumstances were precisely the same as in the Lyons woman case. Mrs COnaty said the officer was mistaken. She has q lame ''step," she said and this made the officer suppose she was intoxicated. The woman's husband pleaded for her and had the case continued for thirty days.
 Mary HOran was fined s and costs for intoxication and breach of the peace The last named offense was committed some time ago when Mrs Horan broke in the windows of a neighbor's house. This matter would have been forgotten had she not been found intoxicated yesterday by Officer Noonan- MT Horan asked to know how she could have been drunk if she had. which she says was fact work ed until a. m- in factory. How the wonder. as she seemed to regard it was accomplished, no one undertook to explain. but Chief Egan said that if the woman had been sober for twenty years she was intoxicated yesterday. She was fined S5 and costs on each complaint
 The case of Raymond Mianr. charged with non-suppOrt of his wife during the past four years generally. specifically the last month. annoyed the prosecut- ing attorney. The accused said he has been in the country ten years and is un- able to speak a word of it's language. The prosecutor said that such a man ought to be fined S1O and costs for be ing ignorant. It was plain that he failed to maintain his wife and his de- fense was physical weakness In the opinion of the prosecuting attorney a freight train run over the accused would not kill him. AIianr was found guilty and sentenced to thirty days in jail. with the alternative of furnishing a bond of $1O0 to pay his wife $4 a week for six months.
 A complaint against James Ahearn for theft of four chickens from John Shea 45 Poplar avenue and a case of Hunter whiskey from the saloon of Mrs T. Horrigan on Bank street. Ahearn pleaded not guilty. Shea was sworn and his evidence failed to connect the accused with the disappearance of his fowl. two of which he said he found after they had been just killed. Shea's story did not at all compare with that he had told Officer LineEdn, who ar rested Ahearn upon the strength of it, and at the request of the prosecuting attorney the case was continued to to- morrow morning.
 James Mooney, charged with intoxi- cation, settled for g.
 The court room was then cleared of all except those who had business there and whose official contact with crimi- nal life would exempt their morals from the severe jars that were expected to occur in hearing the case against Charles R. Judson, who was charged with intOxication and indecent assault upon Charles Witkowiski, the 4-years-old son of Benjamin Witkow- ski of 31 Abbott avenue. When this man was arrested he said his name was Jessel and the story became cur rent that the man residing on Camp street was the man who was arrested. The greatest sensation was consequent- ly caused and this was one reason why the court room was so crowded. This morning, however. the man said his name was Jackson. and when he was questioned further. he said he could easily be identified by Sheriff Rigney. having done business with him recent 1y. It then developed that his name was Judson and to this name he plead ed The particulars of the case are unfit for publication. The offense oc- cured on the veranda of Witowskrs house about s o'clock last night. The court decided he would be justified in holding Judson for trial by a jury and accordingly bound him over to the su- periOr court. next term under bond of S1 900. JudsOn claims to be a painter. He has been in town about six months. He hails from New Britain and at one time was photographer of some re- pute in that place
