Here, give me that guy,'' said one
of the men, who then took it in his
hand and examined it closely. AS he
did so he noticed the name of Carl
baldi at the bottom, and his wrath rose
to think that statues of others than
Americans should be offered for sale in
the United States.
"Twenty-three for dis guy," he
shouted, and brought the statue down
on the bar, smashing it to splinters.
Anton gazed in astonishment at the
man who dared to smash the statue of

and, searching around in his basket, he
drew forth a statue of George Wash
ington, which he held aloff.

cried; "twenty-three and skidoo for

IN FULL COURT COSTUME
PRINCE IS UP FOR TRIAL
TELLS JUDGE HIS STORY AND is
DISCHARGED

The Prince of Morocco, who in private
life is known as Warren Bonnettio and
is a garbage collector in Los Angeles,
has again gained his liberty. He was
found not guilty of ill-treating his 10
year-old stepson and was discharged by
Police Justice Rose yesterday.
The prince showed up in the court
room garbed in full court regalia. A
checked coat, with strips of plush on
each lapel, a vest covered with medals
of all descriptions and pair of trousers
with large brass buttons on the bottom
Of the legs adorned his person.
He claims to be one of the nobility
in Morocco, but since his arrival in the
United States he has lost caste and
now earns living by working on a
garbage wagon.
November he was arrested by HUI
name officer Dearborn, who claimed he
had found George Paul Bonnettia, the
stepson, tied to the floor of the shed in
rear of the cabin where the family
dwells. The cabin is situated on George
street. near the city dump. According
to the testimony of the humane officer
the boy was tied with wire such as is
used around baled hay. He stated the
lads wrists and head showed signs of
severe punishment which had been adj
ministered him.
The boy was placed on the stand and
admitted that he had stolen his fathers
revolver and fired 1t off; that he had
stolen junk from his father and sold It
and had run away from home. 1t was
stated that Bonnettio had not treated
the boy harshly but had tied him so
that he could not run away again.
