IN THE POLICE COURT
Jehn Barnes Settled His Case This
 Morning For $50.

The police dropped in to see John Barnes Of Railroad Hill street yes- terday when he least expected them, consequently they found him when his saloon was open and entertaining three men named John Burke, Patrick Connor and Keron Flannery. In the city court to-day Barnes settled his case for $50 and the others for $15 each. Wesley Underhill who is want ed in Thomaston for theft, was charg- ed with embedding from his friend George Schaffer the sum of $5. Schaf- fer is employed by the Trott Baking Go and month ago he had Underhill take his place as collector and deliv- cry clerk for few days. He took hiIn on the route and showed him how to make his collections. Underhill col lected $5 from the Lenox lunch on Fix change place and about S4 more from other drug stores and hotels. With this money in his possession Underhill told Schaffer he had to see friend down the street but would be back in moment. That was the last Schaf- fer saw of him until Detective Ken naugh brought him from Bridgeport odltlfudy. MedHWHlle GcHdlIeF HHu lO make good to the Trott Baking com pany. Underhill's story was that his folks lived here few years ago and now live in Thomaston. He has been out of steady work for some time and was looking for work in the Trott Baking company when he came across Schaffer. He was fined $10 and costs with the alternative of going to jail. He is only IS. Through the foresight of Detective Dodds Schaffer was able to get his money from Underhill.
 Sentence was suspended on Patrick Burke for intOxication, it being his first time in court. John Kenny, John Shea, John Sullivan and James Hori- gan were each fined $5 and costs for intoxication. Charles MeGrath was given thirty days for intoxlcation more to sober him up than as punishment and John Clancy was fined $15 and costs and similar fine of ancient date was raked up against him.

$lOO A MONTH
Decision Judge Caes Gives For Mrs.
 E. U. Lathrop.

Judge Case of the superior court has affirmed Attorney Kellogg's find ing in the non-support case of Mrs Lathrop against her husband, Edwin U. LathIop. That is. he orders Mir Lathrop to pay his wife S100 a month from the time of the commencement of the suit down to date, which would mean for rhe defendant to pay right down $500. But Judge Case does not allow Mrs Lathrop any counsel fees, whereas Mir Kellogg allowed her about $500. Mir Kellogg's finding was ap- pealed to the superior court. Tho plaintiff appealed. claiming that Mir Kellogg found the defendant had paid the plaintiff $500 more than she actu- ally received from him and also be- cause he found that she engaged de tectives to follow Mir Lathrop and en- tice him to commit crime. This she denied doing. Mir LathrOp appealed on the general grounds that Mr Kels logg's finding was unjust
 Judge Case says in his memorandum that sIO0 month is fair sum for Mrs Lathrop's maintenance. As t0 her engaging detectives to follow and induce her husband fo commit crime. Judge Case says her conduct was re- prehensible and would constitute big obstacle to her obtaining a divorce. But this formed no grounds. he said. on which he could deny her petition for alimouy. for under most any cir cnmstnncpz in this state the law com peIs a husband tn support his wife un- til they arp separated ly legal means.
 Tie matter will now he appealed to the supreme court hy the defendant.

A grand jury has no right authority COM
