pocket, but he told the justice that
he preferred to work on the streets

justice very much.
Ed. Asbury was accused Of coach
ing too close to she sidelines and
was given a SO sentence, which he
paid. In other words he was accused
Of creating a disturbance.

pitched bail and was fined so. In
more particular terms he was ac-
cused of resisting an officer and in
so doing he was hit by the marshal

wound. Sarton Yescas was salts
