Then" queried Police Judge Mogan,
why did you kiss him when he was ar

Haven't just said that the policeman

Mrs Hopkins and her four children re-
side at $40 Bryant street, and for four
teen months, she alleges, he had not sup
ported or even visited his family, so in
fatuated was he with Mrs. Hughes. He
was employed as a machinist at the I'm
ion Iron Works and earned enough
money to keep his wife and little ones in
comfort.
The defendant weak-faced fellow, ac-
knowledged a tender attachment to Mrs
Hughes and promised to sever it and re-
turn TO his family if he were released,
but the Judge ordered that he be de-
tanned in custody until the statutes be
searched for a section that might en-
able the Judge to commit him for his un-
holy alliance with the buxom landlady,
who was notified to reappear in court
this morning.
A dozen dark-eyed boys from the Latin
quarter were ready to testify that Giu-
seppi Gianni, fruit dealer, had unpro-
vokedly battered Master Guido Grazini of
s Bartlett street. but Judge Cabaniss dis
missed the complaint ere one-third of
them had testified. Their intention to aid
the complainant was unanimous, but
conflict most widely.
Judge Mogan gave himself further
time to ascertain if q felony charge can
not be entered against William Taylor,
who is accused by Mrs. Clara Cockrell
of having enticed her 25-year-old
daughter away from home and placed
her in bagnio. The girl was also ar
rested and charged with leading an i'm
moral life, and, although she tried to
shield Taylor, the story told by him
pretty thoroughly convinced the Judge
that the mothers story was true.
Taylor said he had been married
about six years. and he tried to make
it appear that the girl was wayward
of her own voiition: but the mother
swore that after the young woman hal
been reclaimed and was living at home
he induced her to return to life of
shame and helped to remove her trunk
from the parental residence during the
family's temporary absence. Moreover.
on several occasions he had brutally
beaten the girl, who seemed to be at
tached TO him by fear rather than af-
lection.
Taylor claimed to be employed by a
picture firm at T44 Market street, but
the Judges sharp questioning led him
to virtually confess that he shared his
victims earnings. He IS in custody,
with bail set at $4,000.
When the case Of Isaac Solomon, ac-
cused Of having bombarded his residence
on Twenty-ninth street with rocks while
his daughters wedding was In progress,
was called before Judge Mogan an attor-
ney stated that the complainants, Mrs
Solomon and the bride. had decided to
withdraw the prosecution.
But the prosecution is in the hands of

they may not desire to relinquish it. II

Mr. Solomon's face was study as he

Its expression abruptly changed from Sc

buoyant step with which he had entered
the courtroom was transformed into a
sIouching shuttle as he departed.
