Howard street, between Sixth and Sew
enth, at a late hour on Monday night,
when they became entangled in some
loose wire that had been left there
by Hnemen. The more they struggled
to extricate themselves the more they
became entangled, and they were
swearing strange oaths with loud
voices when Patrolman Castro, who
was two blocks away, overheard them.
Thinking a riot was In progress, he

the cursing, writing crew, one OF

matches and a wire cutter the officer
succeeded in arresting and carrying

Michael Garcia was accused of sell

complaining policeman testified that
he had purchased a bottle of beer and
four drinks of whisky and partaken

the defense:
Did you see any other eating para
phernalia on the premises?"
Judge Conlan and every one in the
courtroom stared inquiringly at the
lawyer WHO uellDerdIeiy repeated the
question:
