 Judge Curtis disposed of a number of very important cases.
 The first case called this mornning was that of Ray Bray of Gem avenue who pleaded guilty of misplacing the switch on the Berkshire road.
 States Attorney Judson, in rehearing the case of young Bray, stated that about 3 months previous, on three or four occasions, a switch on the Berk- shire division of the railroad had been found misplaced. However, the state has no evidence to convict young Bray with these occasions He was in the employment of the railroad, but was discharged a year agn fo" inefficiency due to his drinking habits. On this occasion he was intoxicated and was found sitting on switch box,s with a key inserted in a. lock. by watch man. who had been sent to the spot. When Bray saw the watchman he did not make any attempt to rnu away Yesterday States Attorney Judson at the request of counsel for Bray caus- ed an examination of the youth to be made by physicians. The physicians reported that the young man was mentally responsible, but inclined to be simple and not equipped with the standard quality of brains. He was under the influence of liquors at the time but was not drunk. The states attorney stated that though the crime was serious, in view of the fact that the young man was simple, and was intoxicated a light sentence ought to be imposed.
 Attorney Greenstein. counsel for Bray in asking that clemency be ex- erted in this case stated that the boy when IT years of age went to work as a fireman for the railroad. He was then considered quite efficient, but he was thrown in with older men and took to drinking. At the time of the displacement of the switch he was in foxicated. Bray told his counsel that he was on his way home to Gem ave- nue when he took a notion to go on the railroad tracks, why he did so he could not say. He sat on the switch bex and took out his switch key more to see if the switch would work, than for any other reason. The coart or dered the accused to pay a fine of sf5D and sentenced him to one year fin jail.
