FAILS TO CONVINCE COURT.
James Blodgett, With Record, In
ours Heavy Penalty.

1.res Rlodeett about twenty-five years
of age, appeared to Judge Mullowny IN 'he
Police Court today to be the real thlhg III
the line of undesirable citizens when ne
was hailed before the bar OF justice upon
an information alleging attempted larceny.
Policeman LYLE Of the first precinct stated
to the court that he had watched the
vounc man for over an hour Sunday morn
ing, and later attempted to arrest him az
ter he had nearly accomplished a larceny.
The policeman stated that Blodgett was
standing near the show case or Fried
lander Bros, at 9th and E streets north
west. about o'clock Sunday morning, with
young colored man. While the guardian
of the law watched the young men, he toln
the court, he saw Blodgett reach into his
pocket and after withdra wing a glass cut
ter attempt to cut the. pane of glass In
the show case. Not being successful, the
young man attempted to wrench the lock
from the case by means of small piece
of steel lyle thought it was time for him
to take hand, and rushing up to the cor
ner he seized Blodgett, but the colored
man got away. Blodgett saw his compan-
ion rapidly passing from view, and with a
determined effort he wrenched himself
away from the policeman and dashed down
street. Lyle pursued him and recaptured
him after a chase of several blocks Blod-
gett was full of fight. it was stated. and
attempted again to break away. During
the chase Lyle had drawn his baton, and
he gave Blodgett several taps upon the
Uranium, reducing him to quietude.
When placed upon the stand the defend
ant told the court that Lyle had struck
him for nothing, and that after his arrival
at the station house Policeman Samson
"sweated' him for some time, and not be-
ing able to get him to confess to the at
tempted robbery cuffed him about the head
with his hands.
This recital did not seem to have much
effect upon Judge Mullowny. and at the
close he asked for the young mans rec
ord After ascertaining that Blodgett had
been to Jail twice for larceny he said:
"You seem to be a thoroughbred in your
line. If a young man starts out in this
business of stealing at your age, what can
he ever expect to make of himself? You
will pay a fine of 800 and in default go to
Jail for nine months

alleged, attempted to rife, the glass bears

day evening shortly before o'clock Robert
Burns, colored. according to the police,
became ugly and undertook to assert
ownership of the wet goods emporium,
Stewart 1t is said. was standing near and
interposed objections In the general melee
which followed the attempted election of
the colored man from the place Burns re-
ceived a blow upon the side of the head
which landed dangerously near his right
eye. For a moment he stunned, and
then. it is stated. he concluded he had re-
ceived a grave injury. He left the place
at once and in a short time turned up at
the Homeopathic Hospital. where the
physicians announced after a brief exam
ination that he had sustained fracture of
the skull.
Word was at once sent to the second pre-
cinct station anu policeman shortly there
after escorted Stewart to the station house.
Lieut. Sprinkle. who was in charge, con-
suited Clerk Potts of the Police Court, and
the defendant against whom charge of
assault had been entered upon the blotter

bond for his appearance in court. Edwin

When the case called in the Police
