NO CHANGE so
FINE IS RAISED
Recorder Kehoe Couldn't
Break" tho $50 Bill.

Because there was no change ham
dy last night about O'Clock, the fine
OF Joseph Chronera was raised from
$25 to $40 in the Recorders court.
Chornera, was arrested yesterday on
a charge of wife-beating, but when
his wife appeared before Recorder
Kehoe in the police court, she did
not prosecute the charge, and as the
man was seemingly her only support,
the Recorder let her husband go free
with a warning about his return on a
similar charge.
When arrested yesterday fifty
dollar bill and s.en cents were found
in his pockets. When fined SIS he
could not change the fifty, SO the
penalty was raised to $50 to suit the
occasion, and the $21.10 again re-
turned to its owner.
