A few steps away he encountered
Aid. Patrick O'Brien, OF the Tenth
ward.
Hello. dog" exclaimed o'Brien.
looking at Schreiter III you had a
little more hair on you you would
make a good dog"
O'Brien's face was becoming flush
ed and Schreiter shrank from him as
though he were afraid OF being
struck. other aldermen stood about
him, laughing at the discontinue OF
the lnformer, and Schreiter finally
entered the judges private office,
where he sat, talking with Mr..
Shepherd.
The aldermen were bitter against
Schreiter. Aid. Tom Lynch said: II
hate TO think what would happen 10
him IL | met him In a dark alley at
night"
Aid. Zoeller said He talks about
my mother That Is all rot to get
public sympathy with him. The lowest
crook whenever he wants to obtain
little sympathy talks about my
mother What does he think about
our mothers? The low-lived dog"

A touch OF humor was injected into
the proceedings when Aid. Watsons

not be required Gilman and Brozo

that Schreiter had not been offered
