but Magistrate Smith Takes
No Stock in CLAIM.

Harry Piggy" Stork was held to
the grand jury this morning under
bonds of $1,000 on a charge of taking

inaI manner. The crime occurred

fence where the alleged crime took
place. The defendant denied every
statement made by the little colored
girl. but Police Magistrate c. ]. Smith

took place, refused to place any depen-
dence in his statements because of
the record he bears in the police

his being sent either to prison or to

the county court and he was kept
there three weeks during which time
he demeaned himself so well that he
