SINNEX NAME
STAYS ON LIST
Court Rules That Man Who
Pays Board to County Is
Not a Pauper
MORE APPEALS FROM
THE REGISTRATION LISTS

Judge Daniel 0. Hastings sitting in
superior Court to-day handed down
2 deeision disuissiue The registratfon
appeal IN the case of Joseph Sinnex
and directed the Christian name Of
Sinnex be changed to Jacob as the
registration officers had made q mis-
take IN transcribing the name.
Harry II Josiyn made determined
stand yesterday to have Sinnex's
name kept on the list The Demo-
Gratis appealed on the ground that Sin
mex was pauper because he had been
committed to the New Castle County
hospital at Farnhurst. Sinnex owns
property in Wilmington and Harry
Stafford, real estate agent who man
ages the property, arranged with
trustee Jester that he would pay Sc
a month board for the man.
Judge Had ings said in handing
down the decision that the contention
OF Mr.. Rodney was that a man com
mitted to the almshouse remained a
pauper while residing there. The
court considered the matter very
carefully and did not think the intent
of the statute was as Mr.. Rodney
thought.
whether the Trustees of the Poor had
a right to accept such board was not
before the court. This morning Judge
Hastings called upon former Judge
Spruance to learn as to the practice
in such cases, and Judge Spruance
informed him that the practice time
and time again was TO inquire into
these cases fully and where board
was paid by the man or his friends
the person did not come Under ths
law as a pauper. The appeal No. l5
accordingly was dismissed and the
mans name changed from Joseph to
Jacob
j. Irving Handy, the attorney, was
q witness in the appeal against George
Price, colored, of Newark, which had
been filed by the Democrats. Mr..
Handy testified that during a hearing
in case before Magistrate Lovett
last May Price admitted that he had
been convicted of larceny in Mary
land, had served his time.
Thomas w. Patchen, the registrar
in the district, testified he heard that
Price was a former convict. When
Price applied to be registered Patchen
said Price said he was not the man
convicted in Maryland and was never
convicted in this state.
Judge Hastings said the best evil
dence must be produced in such cases
and suggested that The record. or a
copy of the record, be obtained.
Mr.. Joslyn objected to any post
ponement.
Judge Hastings said if Price came
upon the stand and admitted he was
a convict then the case would oe
settled. The case was continued until
Tuesday in order to produce the rec
ord and the man.
The appeal against William q.
Anderson. of the First district of the
First ward, was dismissed

me out 1 wouldn't have had a word to
say. He chopped me up and slashed ms
around the head a good deal, but 1t WASH I
a circumstance to what Cans handed me
at Goldfield. Now, Wolgast never put me
down once during that whole fight. He
was down twice. I was bad at the finish
and l was tired, but I was stalling along
trying to save something for a strong
finish, and you can bet your life that any
time they get Bat Nelson tired, the other
fellows tired too They stopped it. I'm

Now, Wolgast has been good enough
to say that he would give me the first

money in his fighting me than any other

IF Bat does quit the game he will not

He has a few investments lying around

Not quite yet. Like all defeated men,

l wasn't any too good but l didn t thlnK
that Wolgast could beat me, no matter
what shape l was in. That's where
made the big mistake.
Now, once before I had a slump in my
sighting That was after Goldfield, and,
believe me- / was beat up twice as pad
et Goldheld as / was at Point Richmond.
Cans punished me lot worse than ever

me all around the ring and II bet NOBODY
would have given three cents FOR my
chance TO come back again after the
showing I made that night. Everyone
thought the punishment Cans gave me
at Goldfield had killed me. Yet 1 came
again and won the championship OF the

.srhere isn't a thing the matter with me
that good rest won't set right. l
worked too hard after beating Cans. l
defended my title oftener in snort

did some transforming and an awful
amount of travelling from coast to coast.

couldn't be up on edge after long

Now I'm after Wolgast again. / really
think he ought to give me another hght

knocked him out and said that lack OF

no matter what shape he got into, and

him a chance to regain his title, and
gave 1t to him before | fought any othei
lightweight. That's one reason why VOL

a sort of a courtesy, il you look at 1t tina
way. and If he feels as sure he can bea

bother him any about the return match
Another thing is that champion ough
to be soundly licked before they take hi
