bring his halo into City Court this
morning but he doubtless has one at

John T. Knots. of No. 209 East Front

orderly conduct, George had two wit
nesses TO prove he never swore, and
could not possibly have uttered the
sulphurous epithets that Mr., Knots
said had been directed toward him by
George.
George was employed by Mr. Knots
as a stable man two days ago. Yester-
day there was a disagreement over
Georges work. and Mr.. Knots said
George had called him all the names
that have been expurgated from the
dictionary.
But Georges attorney, Philip L.
Garrett, tried 10 show that Mr.. Knots
had himself called George names.
