A band of four hard looking speci-
mems were gathered in by the st.
Adams police Thursday evening and
underwent severe examination at
the Jail office. The names given by
these men to the officers were Frank
Lawrence, John Mccoy, Joseph o.
Hall, and Joseph WEIGH. and they
hailed from divers parts OF the coun-
try. The quick arrest of this qua
tet had forestalled any of their
games so that they were arraigned
in the justice court before Justice
John Kearney on a charge of tramp
ing, to which all pleaded guilty.
Lawrence and Mccoy were sentenced
for two months. Hall, thirty days,
and Welch ten days in the county
Jail. These men had refused to be
tagged on "Tag day and when ap-
preached by the collectors had
feigned to be deaf and dumb. John
Nesbit, a Georgia farmer, who him
self is under arrest on a charge of
intoxication, told the officers that
he was out with the crowd, drank
with them, and when he came to
his senses he discovered that about
s39 of his cash was missing. Nes-
bit, who was arraigned in court was
sentenced to serve ten days in
Jail. There was another fakir in
the justice court who had been play
ing a nice panhandle game on the
public. and he was not let off so
easily. This man gave his name as
John Barry, and he had represented
himself to the public as being a
hopeless cripple, who was unable to
earn his living, and was forced to
ask aims. His right arm was ap-
parently twisted all out Of shape and
was covered with hideous scars.
When he was taken to the jail, Chief
of Police John F. Mahoney straight
ened out the mans arm while wait
ing for DR.. S. w. Paige to arrive.
Upon his arrival, Doctor Paige ex-
perienced no difficulty in demon
strating to those present that the
prisoner was anything but cripple.
After the hearing, Barry was SEN
fenced to three months in the county
jail.
