HANGS ON TWO POINTS
CASE OF THE STATE AGAINST
ELMER MENTION.
Was the Watch Deposited For Secur-
ity As Loan and Was $3.50
An Excessive Figure.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
George Gessler was before the
court late yesterday afternoon on the
charge of disorderly conduct, having
been arrested in the forenoon by Of
ficer Diamond. He pleaded guilty and
paid fine of So and costs rather
than 90 to Jail for seven days.
Ferdinand Hintz got into trouble, in
a saloon last night, on North Front
street, and though put out several
times by the proprietor, he kept COM
ing back. He was finally arrested, and
this morning the charge of disorderly
conduct was preferred against him. He
pleaded guilty and paid fine of 81
and costs, rather than spend ten days
at hard labor.
T. J. Wilmer pleaded guilty to dis
orderly conduct this morning. He and
w. ID. O'Brien got into a dispute in
South Front street saloon last night
and continued it for two blocks along
Front street, until they were arrested
and locked up. O'Brien also pleaded
guilty to disorderly conduct, and each
was sentenced to pay fine of So and
ty Jail at hard labor for seven days.
They did not have the money to pay
up. so they Joined Guard Riley's squad
this forenoon.
Yesterday Afternoon, when the hear
ing in the case of Elmer Mention was
had, he made a tender of SIS to
w. R. Crandall as full payment for
stated that he would accept $3.50,
and nothing less. Mention would have
declined to pay the costs, so there was
little chance of an agreement.
The evidence showed that late last
winter Mention secured $3.50 on or
for the watch from Mr.. Crandall, and
also incurred an expense of so cents
by having his initials engraved upon
III. lie ulu HOC redeem VI Duy Ddck
the watch at the time agreed upon,
and an extension of time was given,
and another dollar was charged
against him on his ticket or card that
he held for the watch, making $l4.
Friday last he offered to pay SIS,
but he said that Mr.. Crandall de-
manded $23.S5, but Mr.. Crandall said
that he only asked $l650 Each side
has a witness on this point. The
case seems to revolve upon two
points: First, whether the watch was
sold to Mr.. Crandall or merely de-
posted as security for a loan; sec
ond, if it was deposited as security
for loan, was $3.50 an excessive
charge to make for the loan.
Mr.. Mention will probably ask for
permission to go before the grand
jury upon his own behalf.
