Fined for Slapping
A Clerk in Laundry

If the clerk of the Police Court was
in the habit of entering the cases
which appear before Judge Mullowny
according TO the system employed by
the far-famed DR.. Watson in chron-
icling the exploits of Sherlock Holmes,
there is little doubt that the trial of
Joseph Sawyer, arrested on charge
of assaulting May Houston, would ap-
pear under the caption, The Tale of
a Shirt
Mays testimony showed that she IS a
clerk in a laundry and that Joseph
came in day before yesterday, rudely
demanded his laundry and, before pay
ing for it. snatched 1t from her grasp,
slapped her face, and disappeared down
the street. May obtained Sawyer's ar
rest and the case appeared this morn
ing.
Sawyer claimed that May had made
several unComplimentary remarks con-
cerning the happiness or his married
life, and his relations with his neigh
boTS, whereupon he took his laundry
and left the building, intending to pay
for his wash later. He denied having
slapped the plaintiff and said that her
story was a fabrication. Judge MulIow-
noy, however. thought otherwise, and
Sawyer was forced to separate himself
from S. of his hard-earned money be-
fore leaving the court.
May wanted to know II she would NOT
get a part of the fine. She was in
formed that she would not, and had to
be content with the thought that
Joseph had been relieved of IS.
