It Stops Proceedings for While-Witness
in Larceny Case.

"Hark! From the Tombs dolefu sound rant
ed hanger in the Tombs Court yesterday as
the room resounded to the rnournful sQuawks of
goose and the decorun Of the court shattered into
minute fragments, hit the floor with dull thud.
Soon after court opened, with Magistrate Pool on
the bench triumphal procession marched In.
First stepped in a coal black negro bearing under
his arm coal black goose of gigantic size geese
CO. whose neck was adorned with a few scattered
white spots. though it had been sprinkled with
whftewash brush The goose quacking in
low monotone the sentimental vaudeville dttty. II

just the same"
After the negro and the goose followed John
Smith, of No 259 Hudson-st. a watchman at Pier
2s North River, and in mis- strobe J. ]. Mack.
a special policeman the pier. He led by the arm
James Clark. OF No. 182 Park Row.
TIE party sat and waited for the case in which
1t was interested to be called.
The negro tied the legs of the goose together ho-
cause it q valuable goose to him, and it eVnCed
q distaste for intimacy with him. Then the goose
began exercise its wings and SCreeCh. The
combined volume Of the quacks that saved Rome
was only whisper beside the sound that ema-
mated from the hill of this goose dt true bill,
by the way) The negro pushed its wings under
Meath its body and held them together. This
not particularly pleasing to the goose and 1t made
such din that the case being heard stopped alb
ruptly Roundsman Haussl"r ordered the negro to
release the wings. It's cruelty to animals he
said.
"Pahdon me. sab. but am de goose not a bird. and
am 4 bird an animaI?" asked the negro.
Never mind said the nonpIussed roundsman.

cage and there'll be no gliding the bars"
The goose then subsided for occasional
despairing gurgle. and Smith told the court how
he had seen Clark rip board from a crate on
the pier and abstract the goose in an abstraCted
manner. Smith informed Mack. and Mack arrest
ed Clark
Clark said he saw the goose jump from the crate
nd Uaddlp away. thought q could
goose to good advantage (no he a tailor)
and caught 1t.
Then the goose. duly called and sworn a wit
ness tried to tell what it knew about the case
but there being interpreter present who could
translate its language. its testimony stricken
off the record al worthless.
The magistrate held Clark and the negro held
the goose until he reached house of detention.
