one evening last week, their object be-
ing to obtain evidence sufficient to as
sure her conviction on either or both
of the charges above mentioned, when
they saw woman meet a man and
hand to him a tin pail Of the conven-
tional "growler" pattern, with which
vessel the man went to Callahan's. s..
Then the human sleuths interrogated
the woman, who proved to be Mrs.
Jane Philpott, wife Of F. T., and who
told them a much longer story than
she was permitted to repeat yesterday
for the enlightenment of his Honor
Cabaniss. Indeed, the court expert
enced much difficulty in restraining
Mrs. Philpott from launching into an
autobiography beginning with her
marriage to Mr.. PhilpOtt twentythree
years ago and concluding with that
gentleman's arrest.
I went to meet my husband as he
returned from work. said Mrs. Phil
pott, and as I felt tired and thirsty
after hard days toiling and moiling
and thought that little beer would
do me lots of good, / took the can
along with me. When he came up to
me l says. Papa, want you to give
me little change and get
me little beer; and be sure,
papa, that you hurry, for I'm
going to walk homeward slowly
we live at 529 Twentysixth avenue
so you can catch up with me- Papa
took the can and 1 started to saunter
along when three men jumped out
from a fence or somewhere and began
to ask me all sorts of questions Well,
maybe you don't think 1 was scared.
When they asked who papa was and
what he went to Callahan's for l
thought I'd faint, for how was 1 to
know that they did not want papa for
some awful deed? So when papa came
along 1 told him to go at once and
see what the men wanted and papa
gave me the can and went and talked
to them like a perfect gentleman. Then
one of them, the biggest one, choked
papa and pulled out a club and all that
papa did was to ask him to show his
star"
Much more was Mrs. Philpott ready
and willing to tell but the court un-

her actual observa ton. Mr.. Philpott
denied that he attacked Policeman
Fairweather, or even addressed him
"sassily' and the policeman swore pos
itively that Mr.. Philpott did both those
things. Then after an attorney for
the defense had argued eloquently and
at length on the subject of an Ameri-

dismissed the case.
The charges against Mrs. Callahan
will be heard before jury.
Judge Fritz decided that his court
was without jurisdiction to try the

who is charged with manslaughter BY
