Moulton said he did not remember
just what ne told the detectives about
the shooting, but he declared II was
an accident He said he was so ex.
cited when he was brought into police
headquarters that he wasn't respon-
sible for anything he said
The prisoner says he has money
enough TO hire competent counsel,
but he is undecided Just what he Will
do. He says he Is waiting for an IN

he does anything.
Moulton was brought TO police court
in an auto patrol. He was handcuH.

Patrolman Bolone is reported as
steadily improving at ST. Mary's hos

OF his physicians, who think that a
look at the Negro now would excite
the patient and retard his recovery.

COURT SCORES LAWYER
ACCUSED OF OVERCHARGING
After Grilling Attorney Van
SICKLE, Judge Mandell Makes
Him Cut Fee.

Mrs. Robert 4. Koehler. OF West
Virginia. complained TO Judge Man
dell, Thursday afternoon, that Attor'
ney Raymond Van Sickle was over
charging her for legal services rem
ment SO that she could go TO her
home.
Friday morning the two met before
Judge Mandell. and the dispute was
settled. after the attorney had receiv-
ed a grilling in the presence OF a half
hundred other attorneys who had
heard OF the case.
A year or more ago, Mrs Koehler
lost several trunks the contents OF
which, she valued at $500. She en-
gagged Van Sickle TO assist In recov-
ering damages, and he started suit IN
the justice court Nothing came OF
II. and later he entered into Il bar
gain with the woman 10 bring suit
In the higher court on contingent
basis. he TO receive one-half OF what
he collected. Without going TO court
judgment OF $3.50 was agreed upon.
When the parties attempted to settle
Van Sickle insisted On keeping an
huulllOndl go lOI Ills HOih III bho
lower court. Mrs. Koehler declared
that the $40 was all the attorney was
TO receive.
do YOU mean to tell me that you
arc keeping this woman away from
ner home and insisting upon 500 out
OF judgment for only $780," Judge
Mdndell asked. II think II would be
far better 10 pay over her share of
the judgment and let her return
home The amount is too paltry to
come into court over. The SIS Is
ample pay, considering that you did
not have TO go into court for 1t.
Van SICKLE claimed that he earned
it, Judge Mandell then insisted upon
compromise, and as result the
woman got only SCI and the lawyer
SIS out OF the $3.50.

feur for Senator Lorimer. OF Illinois,
was brought before Judge Phelan'
Friday morning. charged with carry
ing concealed weapons. Robertson is
now a travelling man and Detroit Is
his home
His mother came TO court with him
and pleaded with the judge for len
iency. The court learned that Robert
son was more unfortunate, than cul'
Pabiei and concluded that the strain oe'
casioned by the Lorimer investigation
might have been too great for the
young man.
AT the mothers request, the Judge
decided 10 hold him In the county jail
for few days and give him opportun-
ity to recover his equilibrium.
