time the office. which is little larger than

with policemen, lawyers and colored

colored women to it which is marvellous

And Then Mary Gets Off.

This person leans over the desk and
informs Mr.. Given that there is nothing
TO the case: that Mary is hard working
girl. and that there is no proof of any
theft. He says that If the case goes to
trial il will be simply a waste of breath,
as the judge will dismiss it for lack of
evidence. II appears that way to Mr..
Given, too, for he says he cannot issue
an order for a warrant for Mary's ar
rest. and all hands leave the place to
make room for a badly battered man
who has come to ask for a warrant for
his brother-in-law. who beat him up on
being accused of being a loafer and liv
ing on his wife's relatives
The case of the spoons is a sample of
how trouble has to be adjudicated in adj
vance of the Police Court judge. Had
there been any proof that Mary had
taken the spoons then Mr.. Given would
have carried the case to court and would
have conducted the trial in all proba bill
ity. and, despite what the Police Court
lawyer had to say, Mary would probably
be in jail by now.
Now. suppose 1t was the ease of the
dirty milk bottles and Mr.. Schuldt was

The milkman and his lawyer would prob
ably be in the office at the same time and
would talk the matter over with you

he will have delay on delay. and make
