POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Michael Cronk Fined $15 and Costs
 for Assault


 City court to-day was long and tc- dious, the greater part of the time be- | ing occupied with the case against Jo- seph Betz. Judge Burpee presided. The first case disposed of was against Timothy Ryan, who was charged with intoxication. Ryan appeared to be under the influence of some drowsy drug.
 Were you drunk yesterdayg he was asked.
 Was l drunkT' he repeated, in a half sleepy tone, HSure, I've been drunk for the past month." Hc was not wholly sober then. Judge Burpee without any hesitation thought thirty days in jail would do him good.
 Michael Cronk WAS charged with assaulting Lena Coheu. These par ties live on Town Plot. Cronk is em- ployed on William Knowles farm. A chicken was the cause Of the trouble. Mrs Cchen's story was to the effect that she had lost the chicken and Cronk said 1t was in bis barn and he invited her to take it away. When ne got her in the barn yard he threw ! her down, Jumped on her. pounded her With stones, called her gypsy" and sheeney," and said he would kill her because he had no use for "sheeneys" around the place. Cronk's story was that tho woman annoyed him and he merely threw her down. Ill support or her story, however, Mrs Cohen ex- niplted the wrapper she wore at the Iime or the assault, slowing that she Dan undergone rough usage or had Ioiied herself around in the mud Of tne yard Mir Knowles testified for oronk. put 1t did not save him from hne of $15 and costs.
 lhe case against Betz was then called. Ambrose 1T. Buckley. husband or the woman involved. and a plio- tographer on Bank street. was the nrst witness. The gist of the testi- mony was that the Buckieys parted about two years ago and have not been reconciled. Buckley has now petl- tton Tor divorce. based on alleged aauitery, pending in the superior court, Before the separation they Kept roomers, After the separation the roomers left also. During last [ December. the time the aileged act is sald to have taken place, Mrs Buckley hved at 284 North Main street, and kept roomers and boarders.
 The effort Of the prosecution was to prove Betz was the father of child born to Mrs Buckley year ago last August. It was shown that Betz summoned Dr O'Hara to the house giving him the name Bates" One of Mrs Betz's children paid the doc- tor. William Scully was the chief witness for the prosecution, but At torney Cole showed that it was inn possible for what Scu1ly had testified to have taken place. In disposing of the matter Judge Burpee said jury would never find Betz guilty on the evidence presented and lie would therefore have to discharge him.

 wife, and whom second woman sub- sequently claimed as her husband, was discharged by the city court of New Britain yesterday, whither he was taken from custody of the police in this clLy. The woman on Whose compldAnL he was arrested stated her marriage with Desmond took pace In Mer4uen, and that there ther baby was Dorn At the instance Of the New brl.aln city court search was made of the Meriden records and no mention of the marriage was found there, nor record of the birth of the ch1ld The feco- ds of the Episcopal church, where the so- called Mrs Desmond said the child was baptized, were also searched, and they failed to throw any light upon the pa ternity of the child. They had no rec ord of it's birth. The court said it was a lamentable case, for under the cir cunstances the law was helpless As there was evidently no marriage noth- ing could be done to make Desmond maintain the woman and child. Be- fore leaving the court room the woman showed an insurance policy showing that Desmond's life was insured for her benefit. The second woman who claimed to be Desmond's wife did not appear in court.

New Haven County Will Erect One
 to Cost $5O,OOO.


 New Haven, Oct 21.-A hospital for the consumptives of New Haven coun- ty will be erected in this county at the cost of at least S50,O00, if the plans of the New Haven County Anti-Tuher- culosis association, at the meeting, last night, are successful This associa- tion, which is composed of fifteen well known physicians and philanthropists, will be organized this evening One of the first steps of the association will be to appoint a committee to look into the chances of establishing a tu- berculosis hospital here, modelled after the $500OO hospital in Hartford, which was established in that city by the tuberculosis society.
 Prominent among the incorporators are: Drs Oliver T. Osborne, Carl F. Munger, Henry l.. Swain, Francis Ba- con, Frank W. Wright, John F. c. Eos. ter, Professor Irving Fisher, Max Adler. Judge Townsend, the Rev An son F. Stokes, State Auditor James F. Bree. and the Rev Edwin S. Lines. The society has felt the need of a hospital to be devoted to the care of consumptives, of whom there are many in this county. The purpose of such a hospital is to more especially take under it's care those consumptives who are not yet in hopeless condi- l ton. By receiving proper treatment, l in time, it is now thought by the best authorities that tuberculosis is not an l incurable disease. To this end the newly incorporated Anti-Tuberculosis association of New Haven will work
