MONDAYS POLICE COURT.
Alleged Assailants of Michael Burns
Bound Over to Saturday.

Jack Comfy of Lewiston, profession
ally known as the wire king" was
before the municipal court, Monday
morning for the larceny of three UNI
DreIlas. Mr.. Conlys theft was not of
recent commission, but dates back to
the 30th of last June, when it was al
legged that he took the trio Of umbrel-
las from the hallway of a Win
throp street residence. He has not
scjourned in the city to any great ex-
tent since then, but not long ago the
officers discovered that Mr.. Comfy was
rusticating incog at the county jai!
His time was out yesterday morning
but instead of coming forth into the
Siad sprlngtime q free man, he found
the deputy marshal awaiting him, and
the two went over the river to the po-
lice court, when Mr.. Comfy was ad-
judged guilty of the THEFT and sent up
on the hill again for 80 days.
Sylvester Holt had an appointment
with the court at o'clock yesterday
morning, but as he did not appear at
the appointed hour, nor afterward, it is
supposed that his watch must have
run down, or that he was suddenly
called to other parts, the latter theory
being the one most generally accepted
by the police. Mr.. Holt had reasons
for not keeping faith with the court,
for his resistance. to the officer, who
arrested him near the State House in
the small hours OF Sunday morning
would not give him much hope of
clemency from the court, should he APP
pear before it, and it is likely that his
decision was based upon this fact.
Jeremiah Dionne, Joseph Wedge
and Levi Cyr, who were arrested Sun
day in the Burns assault and robbery
case, We're taken before County Attor-
ney Leigh at the police court room,
Monday morning. Michael Burns, the
victim, was unable to appear. The
three men were represented by Bene-
diet f. Maher assisted by G. G. Shell
don, and through their counsel pleaded
not guilty. DR.. G.. r. Campbell APP
peared and stated that in his opinion.
if nothing new materialized Mr.. Burns
would be able to attend the hearing
Saturday. in accordance with which
Mr. Leigh bound the three men over
in the sum of $500 EACH for appear
ance, Saturday. Not being able to Sc
cure bonds, they were committed to
Jail.
