BLUE MONDAY
FOR THESE 80
PRISONERS
Police Courts Crowded To-
day--He Was Too Religious.
Fined for Faking.

Judge Herr had thirty prisoners be-
fore him in the Second Precinct Court
today who had been arrested for
various offenses in the Second and
Fifth police precincts Saturday night,
yesterday and last night.
1t was the largest number of pris
oners seen in that court in a long
while, and was largely due to the
abolition of Sunday courts.
One of the more important prisoners
was Joseph Salokos, who has a saloon
at Nesbitt street. He was arrested
by Policemen Tortariello and Brown
because they saw a boy with pail
about to enter a rear door to the sa
loon. Policeman Tortariello said he ar
rested the boy because he saw foam
in the pail, and although it was empty
it smelled like beer. He questioned the
10y about the stuff, and the latter said
his father told him to go to the saloon
and get a pint of beer.
The case was dismissed, as there was
no evidence to show that the boy had pur-
chased any beer in the saloon, the police
man having made the arrest before any
Violate occurred.
Joseph Purcell, of 127 Third avenue,
Brooklyn, was sent to Jail for ninety days
for begging in Central avenue yesterday.
He was asked If he was a married man,
and he replied that he was, but his wife
left him because he was too religious"
Joseph Fernando, junk dealer, OF s. De-
Iancey street, was arrested Saturday morn
ing in Warren street for accosting a little
girl and offering her some pennies to go
and ask her mother il she had any old
clothes to SELL He pleaded guilty of not
having a peddler's license, and was fined
$40, which he paid.
Stephen Westchusen, 30 years old, of 45
Livingston street, and Frank Tepnesijine,
same age, of 35 Frelinghuysen avenue,
were each fined $40 for causing distur-
bance at Alexander j. Milmoe's stable
yard, at SO Littleton avenue, Saturday
afternoon.
MIR. Milmoe said the two men went to
his place and demanded some money they
alleged was due them for work done for
him the week before, and when he refused
to listen to their demands. Westchusen
laid down in the yard and screamed at the
top of his voice.
Milmoe said that he asked the other
man what was the matter with his friend,
and was Informed that the man was
screaming because he did not get his
money. As the latter did not stop his
yelling when requested to do so, Milmoe
telephoned to the City Hospital for an
ambulance, as he was afraid the man was
really sick.
When Westchusen was taken to the hos
pital the physicians examined him care
fully. but could not find evidence Of the
mans being ILL., and he was sent to the
fifth Precinct Station and locked up on
the charge of disOrderly conduct.
Westchusen said he feigned illness, as he
thought MIR. Milmoe might be moved to
give him his money to get rid Of him.
He and his friend were very much crest
fallen when the judge said $40 or thirty
days. They paid the fines.
William jefferson Harrison Blake,
negro, "a years old, of % Stirling street,
East Orange. was fined $40 for being
asleep while his horse was going along Or
ange street, Saturday night. When the
judge asked him why he went to sleep in
his wagon the prisoner replied "Oh,

bit full of liquor"
