HIS BLOW
GOT HIM
IN JAIL
Thomas JsnnIns, a Bartender,
While Drunk, Struck a Man.
Was No ProvOCatlOn.

1t is OF no avail 10 plead drunkenness in
extenuation OF lawlessness In Judge
Sweetland's court
His honor rightly considers that man
has no right to put himself in a condi-
ton which invites trouble and then rest
all the blame upon the liquor he drank.
Thomas JenaIas,- a bartender. sampled
his own goods too often for his own good
yesterday. and going into an express Of
flee, without provocation. assaulted Sd
ward McKenney
lie Knocked McKenney through a pane
OF glass cutting and bruising Mckenney's
head.
Today Jennins pleaded that he was
drunk, had no recollection OF what he had
done and wanted TO get out of the trouble
as easily as possible.
mo doubt said Judge Sweetland.
'men who get drunk and pound other
people think that they can escape the re-
sponsfbility OF their acts simply because
they were drunk. They think that they
can go about knocking people down, and
II called TO account and have $50 I'm their
pockets they can pay, a fine and that ends
the business.
THAT won't do. There are rights which
the public and the law abiding citizens
have, which, drunk or sober, you and
others are bound 10 respect. 1 sentence
you to Jail for ten days"
Jennins was crestfallen. He evidently
expected TO pay a fine and thus liquidate
with offended justice. He was perfectly
dazed when he went back to the pen.
