Forgot He Was a Cripple.

young man with pale face whose ap-
pearance indicated that he might be an OBJ.
Ject of charity, appeared in the dock OF
Judge SCOTS court this morning and en-
tered plea of guilty to charge of va
grancy. His name was given as Edward
Williams, and he said he had nothing to
present in his own defense. The young
man has recently gathered in many nickeis
and dimes from charitable pedestrians in
the vicinity of Pennsylvania avenue and
18th street, where he held out his hat. He
had habit of twisting his legs and one
arm In manner calculated to arouse sym
pathy and loosen the purse striags. After
getting money in this way yesterday he
patronized several saloons and forgot all
about being a cripple
HE kept his arm twisted even after he
started drinking the Judge wasstold, 'but
after being placed under arrest his arm
suddenly became well and he was able to
put ur lively fight"
The court imposed fine OF $40, with SIX
months on the farm az the alternative.
