Mary Wade, who was CLEANED from
the side streets and byWays by Officer
Hutton. Saturday night, was ably de-
Tended by Judge Reed, who talked long
and loud in her behalf. Mary was put
on the stand and told the court just
how 1t happened She had been in
South Topeka visiting her sister, and
was returning to her cosy little home
back of Hank Lindsay's barn, by way
of Quincy street. Then she happened
to think about q citizen who wanted
a piano, and visited his home for the
purpose of selling him one. At this
juncture Mr.. Hutton informed her that
as he had run her in many times for
sufficient reason, he would just take
her once for luck AS Huttons repu-
tation is much better than Mary's, the
court preferred to take his word for
the affair, hence the SO fine assessed.
Mr.. Reed indignantly appealed the
case This is the second case of the
kind Attorney Reed has appealed.
Then came the case of the jovial
Peg McAdichael, Attorney Gregg at
the bat He went in to win: he saw
plainly that Mr. McMichael was per-
secuted man. He also spent two hours
trying to make the court see the case
from the same standpoint. He bitterly
denounced "spOtter" evidence as un-
constitutional. Attorney Urmy then
took up the disturbance where Mr.
Gregg dropped it, and fully explained
the other side of the case. Meanwhile
Mr.. McMichael slun bered peacefully in
a back seat. When Judge Lindsay
thought the attorneys had sufficiently
declared themselves, he began reciting
two or three numbers of United
States" to justify his course and prove
that ''spotter' evidence was legal. He
likened the eagle-eyed Topeka detec-
tives to the representatives of Scotland
Yard and the great PinkertOn. He also
related seven or eight interesting cases
which had come under his personal OBJ
servation in the state of Indiana. Just
and fined Mr. McA1ichael $500 and 90
days. Mr. Gregg fled the appeal bond,
and then McMichael woke UP and went
home McMichaePs fine was not made
so unusually heavy because he has but
one Leg
Several times during the course Of
the trial. a new victim was brought in
for the inspection of the court Mrs.
of local fame Judge Lindsay acSnow1-
edged the introduction and intimated
that he had met Mrs. Brown on some
former occasion. She gave bond to ap-
pear later and returned from whence
she was taken, 1909 Kansas avenue.
In short time another, druggist

Henry Hatche who was Matching var
ious kinds of trouble in the second
story of a steam laundry on Seventh
street, back of the National hotel He
was engaged in jerking the soothing
beverage from a keg and mixing gin

conversation and learned that the keg

The celebrated Pigg Bros, fancy mix
