. DRAWS STIFF FINE
Toney Bonvendre Must Pay $26 for
Trying To Force Attentions on
Elizabeth Bowen.

Toney Bonvendre Is a real Italian
lover or the romantic school, who
signs like a furnace In true Shake
spearean style. Toney's signs as
sumed such an alarming proportion
last Saturday night, that IL required
about 40 persons, inclusive OF a couple
OF very unromantic policemen, to put
quietus on his passion.
Police Justice Jeffries nut the fin
ishing touches on the quietus proceed.
ings, Monday, when he fined Toney
$25, with the option OF 80 days In the
Detroit house OF correction. Attorney
Anthony Mauillo, who represented
Toney in police court, objected siren
uously to the courts summary DISPOSE
ton OF Toney's love affairs and the
court had to quiet the lawyer by dis
missing him from his presence.
The object OF young Bonvendres
affection is Miss Elizabeth Bowen, a
demure maiden OF l6 summers, who
recently has been engaged In passing
bon-bons over counter In the candy
store at No. 157 Chene-st A few
months ago Miss Bowen and the
italian youth were engaged In the
manufacture OF drugs at a local phar-
maceutical institution. IL was while
they worked together in the coating OF
pills that the flame OF love was first
famed In the youths bosom.
After she left the firm, he learned
that she was working In the candy
store and from that time forth, he In
sisted on purchasing all his candies
there. In fact, he referred to her as
his candy kid. He used to insist upon
her keeping the change, but Elizabeth
proudly asserted that she reckoned
she could maintain herself Every
time the young man had a legitimate
excuse, he would enter the store and
resort TO the most desperate remedies
TO engage his adored one In CONVERSE
ton.
The girl told the court that he an
noyed her very much. She says that
on numerous occasions he threatened
to kill her IL she did not marry him.
She says that Saturday night, he came
into the place and made a number OF
untoward remarks.
The pair had scene outside the
store, and, finally, a crowd OF citizens
took a hand In the proceedings and
chased the luckless Italian down the
street.
Lieut.. Pritchard. of the Mcclellan
station. happened to be nearby and he
captured the young man and saved
him from the tender mercies OF the
angry mob.
Attorney Mauillo insisted Monday
morning that his client had not had
a fair trial, and he thereby incurred
the displeasure OF the court.
