of thsse courts osnara oAsiFssv Around
monay transactions. j. One Of the police
court laED1ra had ooonsiop TO prepare him
self 70 meet poaesblS charges against his
stanuing at the bAr by q certain Magistrate.
He met the situation by making a thorough
Investigation. OF the Magistrates own
,recorn. The result was that within three
months the attorney and the Magistrate
shook hands and agreed to forget, and now
that attorneys friends assert openly that
his best asset at the police court bar Is the
Magistrates friendship and wholesome
respect. Y
1T means bread and butter, Is the way
the attorneys friends put il.
Scarcely a day goes by in busy tines
when there Is not some example Of political
influence Gifecting tho action ola Tammany
police Magistrate. A typical case occurred
last spring IN the West Side court. John
McCann, a political follower Of Deputy
County Clerk Curry, and other politicians
had been taking up 30 much room on the
bridge that q reporter was tnterfersd with
in his work. In his irritation he turned
around and said:
There are so many cheap politicians
around here that no one else has a chance.
Curry waB'IA court and Presented the remark.
He told Magistrate Breen, who was sitting
at the time, that the reporter had called him
a cheap politician. The Magistrate tried
TO smooth the matter over, but just as the
reporter stepped OF tho bridge McCann
struck him. McCann then walked out Of a
side door and out Of the court, with. no
effort on the part Of the court officers to
stop. him. Magistrate Breep saw the attack
and was astonish he'd to see the man walk
away. He issued a warrant for Mccain
at once and declared that he would see IL
he could not have him punished for con-
tempt Of court as well as assault.
The next day Magistrate Breen went to
the Westchester court. Magistrate Wahle
followed him at the West Side court, but
Ma gtstrate BreeR left word that he wished
the case set down for a hearing at the after
noon session so that he might come down
and be a witness. Magistrate Wahle did
not wait for Magistrate Breen to appear,
but called the case before he arrives b
attorney for McCann began to try TO prove
that the client did not strike the reporter.
The case had only just begun when Magis-
trate Wahle stopped it by saying;
II know this defendant to be a gentle
man and l think he will admit striking the
complainant. III change this complaint
OF assault to disorderly conduct and put
the defendant under bonds to keep the
peace
The amount Of the bond was $500 and the
term was three months. This prevented
the case from going to Special Sessions.
Magistrate Breen did not press his effort
to have the contempt proceedings instituted
and thus m assault in court, in front OF a
sitting Magistrate, was disposed of as a
matter Of small consequence. although
the Magistrate was angry enough to issue
a warrant because he had seen the assault
himself.

SPINSTER'S HIDDEN FORTUNE
Nearly $4,000 Found in the House After
Her Death.

HUDSON, N. Y, Oct. For many years
Miss Frances Caroline Robinson lived on
the outskirts of Hudson, and although it
was known that she lar an income sum-
Gent to prov ide her with a living nc n
supposed that the creepy looking old house
which set bach from the road in a clump Of
trees was a real treasure troxe. Since
her death an amount close TO $50, COO has
been unearthed by searchers employed by
the executor, Smith Thompson, who is the
president of the Farmers Bank here.
Now everybody is remarking that il is a
wonder that h woman was not robbed.
Miss Robinson, who led the life OF a re-
cluse, died last month alone, her body be-
ing found several days afterward lying at
the head of the stairway.
She was a s~pinster about 20 years old.
and since the death OF her sister had lived
alone in the old time family mansion, which
is stormbeaten and falling into decay.
Those who occasionally visited at the
house knew that the rooms were heaped
with valuable antiques and furnishings.
Miss Robinson's father was Alexander
Robinson, a transatlantic merchant. Upon
each return voyage Capt. Robinson would
bring pack nan cuTios, and az a result
these collected until the house was filed

ornaments. But there was no mystery
about these, for the ornaments were all
in sight.
The estate was thought to be small be-
fore the hidden wealth was revealed.
When a search of the house was made
packages of bills. covered with buttons and
spooLs OF thread. were found at the bottoms
OF jars. In many nstanoe they were tied
up in bundles OF rags and wrapped 40
closely that only the most careful search
revealed them.
The gold and silver coins were of rare
variety. Much Of the gold was OF the date
of the reign Of King George III, while in
silver there was Spanish none dating back
TO 1897. These, like the bills, were hidden in
all parts of the house and in jars, dishes and
workbaskets and pitchers.
Thirteen years ago Miss Robinson made
her will. BY il she distributed her estate in
equal shares to the American SAaman's
Friend Society, the American Bible Society,
the American Tract Society and the Home
for the Aged, in this city.
The finding Of the hidden trea sure will
cause a contest Of the will. She was an
aunt OF DIR. Alexander Robinson Of New
York city, and he with the next Of kin will
take the matter into the ~Surrogate's Court
on the ground that Miss Robinson was of
unsomd mind, although she was always
regarded as alert in business transactions.
