CASE OF MR.. COIN.
lntimation that He May Prefer Charges
Against Officer Baker.

The case Of Mr.. Henry Cohn. superin-
tendent of the Street-Cleaning Depart
ment and an active worker in Jefferson
Ward. charged by Police Officer Baker
with interfering with him in the DIS
charge of his duty at the second precinct
Thursday evening, was continued IN the
Police Court yesterday until next Tues
day. Mr.. COINS side Of the case, as
learned from witness who will testify
for him at the hearing, is that Mr.. Conn
protested against Policeman Baker al
lowing outside persons to go nearer than
the prescribed limit of twenty feet each
way of the voting place, and q charge
against Mr.. Baker may be made. MIR.
Bakers side of the controversy is that
Mr.. Colin tried to go inside this limit, and
that acting under orders Of Captain WHIT
lock, he prevented him from doing so.
At the time of the arrest Thursday night
there was q great deal Of excitement at
the polls, Mr.. COINS brother and MI.
Bakers son showing a disposition to get
int othe affair. When Mr.. Cohn's arrest
came MIR. Baker says q mob followed him
to the police station. When Mr.. Cohn ar
rived at the station house he sent i1nme-
diately for bondsman, and accused Mr..
Baker of being drunk. Whether or not a
charge against Mr.. Baker to this effect
will be made remains to be seen.
Mr. R r. Childress, man of some
fifty years. appeared against Mr.. Lee
Childress, to whom he is related, charg-
ing Mr.. Lee Childress, young man, with
assaulting him. The trouble between the
two men arose over the payment of a
debt by the elder man to the younger Ac-
cording to the elder Mr.. Clildress. he had
paid SAT to Mr.. Lee Childress, and then
later had discovered that he had paid
him too much. He went to the young
msn and asked him to return the S.
whereupon the young man. so he says
assaulted him. After the hearing Mr.
Lee Childress was discharged.
EDWARD Cuthbert, a youth claiming tc
be from Brooklyn and charged with being
a suspicious character, was sent to the
Refornatory.
