Sought Blessing Of Saints for
Jury That Convicted Him

John Saco. who it is alleged used
abusive language to Charity Inspector
Alexander Morrissey, when that gen
tleman wished to take him into GUS
tody, to remove him to his home in
Bayonne. N. J., impressed the jury so
much yesterday that they dismissed
the drunkenness charge against him.
but found him guilty on the breach of
peace charge. Judge Walsh according
ly sentenced him to iail for 60 days.
Saco in the city court received 20 days
for the drunkenness charge and $5 and
costs on the other. A feature of the
trial yesterday was when Saco took
the stand he called upon the jury for
mercy and evoked the blessings of the
saints upon that body of men. 1t is
probable that Attorney Mullin who de-
Tended Saco will take an appeal to the
Supreme Court on the breach of peace
charge. If this is so it will be about
the first instance of it's kind in the
city in which an appeal to the supreme
court on a breach of peace charge was
even taken.
