MORE EVIDENCE
ABOUT CUTTING

After the testimony in the case of
John Terry, charged with assault and
battery on Ernest Wharton, had been
heard in City Court this morning,
Judge Churchman announced that
from the reputation of the witnesses
Jas detailed he did not feel that he
could believe the evidence. and con-
tinued the case until Monday morn
ing Meanwhile the state will en-
deavor to have Charles Lewis, a
material witness, present to testify.
The case is one of mystery. Whar-
ton came running into the police
station on Thursday evening saying
that he had been cut. He exhibited
a badly torn and cut coat. which he
said Terry was responsible for A
warrant was sworn out for Terry and
he was arraigned in City Court yester-
day morning

was not present in court yesterday
and an attachment was issued for
him. He had been at the City Hall
with Annie Washington before court

Wharton told her that the cutting was
a put up job and that he was not GO
ing to appear against Terry. The
woman said Wharton told her that
the coat was already cut when he
borrowed it from Lewis.
This morning Wharton was fined
$40 and costs on charge of contempt
of court in not being present to tes-
tify yesterday morning
Wharton said Terry had cut his
coat twice and that the knife had gone
through the coat, two shirts and an
undershirt, yet it did not cut his
skin. Wharton said the reason he
was not in court yesterday was be-
cause he had been drinking and had
to sleep. Wharton has been out or

IDLENESS
MAY LEAD TO
JAIL CELL
Judge ChurChman to Inquire
If 1t Is a Crime in Del
aware Law
ACTION HELD WHILE
JUDGE SCANS BOOKS

For the first time in the history Of
the Jurisprudence Of Delaware man
has been held on charge OF idle
ness. Alphonsus Nj. Acton aged
about SO years. who was ar
rested on charge OF breach
.of the peace on warrant
sworn out by his mother. and who
was given hearing yesterday in
City Courr. was held this morning bv
Judge Churchman on charge OF
idleness until next Wednesday when
the court viii determine whether
there is such an oueuse in the law
.of this state. Bail was fixed AT ssOo
Action also was held under $500
bond 10 keep the peace.
His mother charged that he would
not work. came home In a drunken
condition and had threatened to xiii
her.
Judge Churchman In passing on
Acton's case said that he had seen a
quotation from Blackstone In one Of
the newspapers Of the city. which
said that idleness was crime In com
mon law, and that II IL is crime
ne certainly thought that Il should be
recognized In Delaware.
10 a reporter for THE EVENING
JOURNAL Judge Churchman said
uhat he had seen the quotation I'm an
editorial Of THE EVENING JOURNAL
on Delaware Loafers." and that II he
could determine that idieness was a
crime In the law Of this state. he
would hold Acton for the higher
court, as we'll as others who we're
guilty Of the same offcnse.
When Judge Churchman announc-
ed that he would hold Acton until
next week on a charge OF "idleness. ~
there was surprise and somewhat Of
a stir In the courtroom. particularly
among some of the regular gpecta-
tors who idle from one 10 three
hours each day at the court session.
should Judge Churchman find ample
legal support to hold men for The
Court Of General Sessions. It doubt
less would cause d panic among
some OF the expert loafers" in the
city, and there might be a question
as 10 how FAR The charge OF idlencss
might be stretched The charge is
entirely different from that OF
vagrancy. under which persons
without visible means of support are
arrested.
