Judge Scott in the Court of Quarter
Sessions, mi his bail set at $1,000 for
trial on June 8.
Three weeks ago a fire started in the

man Rooney was seen coming from the
cellar of the building by Mrs. Dressler,
and believing him to be a thief she
chased him. They met two other pa

Lexington avenue. He took her to
South Beach in the afternoon and
everything went smoothly until they
started for home.
On the car were several young men

Andersen waited a moment, but Hilda
would not relent. so he climbed over
the rail of the upper deck and dived
