THE POLICE WITNESS STAND.
Looked for a While Today That Old
One Would BE Needed.

Although the new witness stand in the
United States branch of the Police Court
has not yet been vanished, II is being used
in preference to the former one, which
stands directly beside IL, entrance to Il be-
ing closed by a sliding bar. Up to this
time every witness who has been called on
to testify since the new stand went into
commission has been able to use II. but at
one time today II looked as though the new
stand would have to be discarded for the
time being and the sliding bar removed
from the old one.
1t occurred during the trial Of Annie
Boone colored. who was arraiRned on the
joint charges OF assault and battery and
disorderly conduct. Annie is quite stout
and somewhat broad. and from her appear
ance II was doubtful whether or not she
could find room in the new stand

ent use the old stand" Attorney w. Calvin

for the woman to make an explanation to
the court

hand in the direction of the new stand.

then Annie, apparently trying to guess
what kind of fit IL would be- Annie In
the meantime made her way to the new
stand. which she mounted: but she did not
find 1t uncomfortable, and made a recital
of her case
According to the statements OF several
witnesses, Annie visited the home OF Mrs.
Mabel Leet GA East Capitol street, several
days ago. with a dress for a woman board
er at the house Annie had some words
with Mrs. Leet and was ordered to leave
the premises, but before leaving II was al
legged that she struck Mrs. Leet in the back
after the latter had stepped on her foot.
After leaving the house Annie, II was al
legged made use of boisterous language,
and only desisted when Mr.. Leet went out
to look for a policeman.
Annie denied that she was boisterous or
that she struck Mrs. Leet Intentionally.
She explained that Mrs. Leet stepped on
her foot. and that she only pushed her on.
Judge Kimball, however. decided that both
charges had been sustained. but accepted
her personal bonds in the assault case and
imposed a fine of $40 for the disorder Inc
fine was paid.

A few wild shouts for help from the

he rowed 10 the side OF the catboat and

but the theory advanced Is that the
weight OF the young man and OF the
heavy cloth at one side of the boat
caused the tender To he overturned.
Either the small boat was overturned
upon the young man or he was entangled

emitting the cries that were heard by
Commodore Possner who lives on the

The commodore called the attention Of

matter but ware prevented by the dark
