 75c Drain Pipe Causes Trouble.
 Charles w. Raynes- a wealthy cit izen of this city, was arraigned before Deputy Judge James A Shea Friday morning, charged with stealing a piece of soil pipe, valued at about 75 cents, from the yard in the rear of Moriarty & Rafferty's plumber shop. No. 41 church street, Thursday morning. Rayner pleaded not guilty but the ev- idence was so conclusive against him that he was fined $7 and costs, the limit for that offence, which amount ed to s13.20. This he paid.
 Patrick F. Moriarty, a member of the firm of Moriarty & Rafferty, the principal witness in the case. told how he opened his store at o'clock on Thursday morning. Shortly afterwards he saw Haynes crossing the street with something hidden under his coat. Haynes kept looking back and as he entered the aileyway between the Methodist church and the Pomeroy building Mir. Moriarty called to him oS1- rx-lla Ina hn answered.: "A bit of pipe, but I'm go- ing to pay for it.'
 MT. Moriarty then ordered him to put the pipe back where he got 1t, and Haynes after he did so attempted to buy him off, with the promise of work. and begged him to say nothing about it.
 Raynes in his own behalf admitted taking the pipe which he styled "old junk" but claimed he did not take it with the intention of stealing. as he intended to pay for it later.
 On cross examination. Prosecuting Attorney E. Frank Bugbee brought out the fact that Haynes made no attempt to see whether any one was in the store after he took the pipe, and was attempting instead to get away without being seen. At this Haynes turned to Deputy Judge Shea and said he left the matter to his own judgment. Judge Shea decided that he was guilty.
 It is understood that Raynes at tempted to buy the pipe previous to stealing it, and was refused because the master plumbers felt that it would be helping out the striking plumbers.
