New a. c. L. Agent for ocsis.

Ever since Mr.. G. {. Crom's ap-
pointment as postmaster and cOnse-
quent resignation as agent for the A.
c. L. at this point, people have been
conjecturing as to who would be his
successor in the latter position, until
Friday when the announcement
was made that Frank J. Huber, the
popular and efficient city ticket
agent had been appointed.
The appointment we feel sure will
neeuthe approval of all the Ocala
patrons of the road. Franks polite
manners and willingness to accom-
modate the travelling public has made
for him many friends during his stay
in the ticket Office, and all congratu-
late him upon his promotion.

Scored the Policemen.

officers who testified in the cases of
James Reeves, George Reed and Felix Nc
Donald charged with being habitual
drunkards, in the Police Court, before Judge
Kimball, this morning, received a strong
censure from the judge for making appar-
emily false statements on the stand. A
murmur of excitement went around the
court room as Judge Kimball made the
statements.
Four officers had told on the stand that
they had seen the men drunk on the public
sereets several times since the LIST of April.
When Mcdonald was put on the stand he
accused the officers of telling false state
ments II got out of the work house only
last Saturday, and they couldn't have seen
me drunk while l was down there"
Judge Kimball determined Immediately to
investigate this statement. Communication
oped the fact that the man was sent down
in February and was not let out until
April 20.
Such things as these make me skeptical
about the truth of human testimony These
officers have evidently made missta tements
on the witness stand, as the official record
contradctS what they said" said the Judge
The officers who had been on the stand
immediately began an investigation, as
they had been perfectly honest in what they
had said. Officer Cooper asked for further
time to investigate. The name was not the
same as that which the man gave in court
and IL had been found that a brother had
been down to the work house about that
time. The officer said that he had been
told by three brother officers about Nc
Donald being drunk recently, while he tes-
tilted to seeing the man only on Saturday.

John Wilson, the travelling arsenal" who
was picked up by Officer Samson of the
first precinct station on Saturday night
was arraigned in the Police Court before
Judge Kimball this morning, on charge of
carrying concealed weapons. Officer Sam
son carried a bulky package to the witness
stand. He told of seeing the man in a
drunken condition Saturday night and of
going to him. He found that the man had
a 'revolver in his pocket and arrested him.
Then the bulky package was presented
Out of it was pulled first a homemade
billy" about nine inches long, small pis-
tol of large caliber and lot of cartridges
Officer Samson stated that the man told
him Saturday night that he had been out
with bad gang on the previous evening
and so had armed himself to be ready for
them that night.
Judge Kimball glanced around at the
array of dangerous weapons on his bench
and called the prisoner to the stand. A diff
ferent story came out this time.
Il don't know how they got in my
pocket" said the prisoner. II was drinking
on Saturday and l suppose some one slipped
them into my pocket"
You were armed with the most danger
GUS kinds of weapons and heavily armed
Two hundred dollars fine, or 364 days in

committed.
