case.

by his mother in the presence of the
officers of the court and many spectators.

ing about ninety cents from Mrs. Simon.
HAVE NOT QUALIFIED.
The question Of whether the police will
qualify to serve as deputies for the City
Sergeant IS yet unsettled. The small
amount paid for their services is the
kick, and there may be a special man ap-
pointed by the judge for this position.
Several years ago. for escortns pris-
cners from the Mayors Court to the city
JAIL two officers received $500 each. Now
the four of them receive something over
So! each. This they do not think is suf-
lcsent and may not qualify to serve
again in this capacity. The new Ser
eeant goes into office on July list.
