OF 81 yesterday In changing 70 BILL
was arraigned before Acting Justice of
the Peace Norton here to-day, and then
discovered that II ne pleaded guilty to
the charge II would cost him $50 add
tional costs to sttle the matter. The
agent was In a fix as he did not want
to pay $500 for the mistake he made.
Then II developed that the woman
who made the complaint against him
refused to accept the 81 and the case
went over until tomorrow morning.
The prisoner. Guy w. Smith. was
rushed yesterday afternoon when Mrs.
Maud I. Hill. wife Of Charles q. Hill.
a lawyer, hurried up to the window and
bought two tickets to Patchogue for
"a cents each. The woman says she ten
dered a So bill and received only S212
change from Smith. Smith said he
did not think he had made n mistake.
but II he found that he did when he
counted up his cash to-day he would
gladly return the u to Mrs. Hin. She
complained to her husband and THEN 1t
was decided to have Smith arrested.
The Hills. went across the street to JUS
tice Norton's Office and swore out the
warrant.
This morning. when Smith counted up
his money. he discovered that he was
81 over, and said he was willing to plead
guilty to the mistake yesterday and pay
Mrs. Hill the 81 in court to-day. but
when he learned that the costs OF the
matter so far amounted to $500 he was
In n dilemma. lie said It was clearly a
mistake made In the rush OF business
yesterday and there was no reason he
could see why he should have to pay the
s. costs. Unless some agreement Is
reached before tomorrow a jury will be
asked TO pass upon the matter.
