The trial was full OF dramatic Incl

Mrs Standifer. She is frail woman

her babe ip her arms. She told how
she discovered the relations between
her sister and her husband and how

POLICE REMEMBER TOO MUCH
Recall with Facility Fairy Tale
Handed Them Three Years
Ago by Same Man.

Edward Moler stepped on his foot Sat
urday.
NIoller, who is temporarily sojourning at
the Union hotel. has learned that the police
are able to remember a good fairy tale and
il is up to him to concoct a new story TO
expect any sympathy or attention from the
officers.
Early Saturday morning Nloller went to
the station and reeled off a long song and
dance about being robbed of a gold watch
and $50 by five colored men, who went into
Union station, where he was sitting, ana
pounced upon him before he could make
an outcry. One of the officers who heard
his tale of woe remarked that three years
ago Moller had come TO the station with
the same complaint and that upon investi-
CATION 1t was found the story had it's only
existence in Moller's vivid imagination.
The station master reported no colored men
had been in the station Saturday night
and that Moller had been discharged re-
Gently from the Her distllery and had
been on a continuous spree since.
Moller was locked up on the charge of
drunkenness and was discharged in police
court Saturday morning. The officers be-
lieve Moller's favorite brand causes him
to see colored men in his dreams instead
of reptiles and pink baby elephants.
