BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN
"COP" BAD FOR PRISONER

In the same court room where he
had often appeared to testify against
prisoners. ex-Patrolman Anthony
Johnson today found conditions re-
versed, with himself a prisoner and
a former fellow policeman testifying
against him. But for the fact that
he had been a bluecoat, Johnson
might have escaped with suspended
sentence. Patrolman Cruit found
Johnson in a gutter in front of his
home at 81 Chapel street. Johnson
alleged that gang had beat him
with clubs and left him helpless in
the street. According to Patrolman
Cruit's story, Johnson became abu-
sive and accused him of not doing
his duty, because he had just left
a dance hall where he was quelling
disturbance.
Threats that the policeman would
be broke" were made, declared Cruit,
and after repeatedly giving Johnson
chances to go into his home, he placed
him under arrest. There was a
scuff1e during which Cruit was struck
in the face with his own nightstick.
Johnson was slated on a charge of
lettering at the Third precinct and
paroled for appearance today.
Judge Hahn was inclined to be le-
nent with the defendant and had sus-
pended sentence until he was told
that johnson was formerly police
man.

of recent discussion of William j.

of his declaration that he cannot
live satisfactorily on $4,000 a year,

killed in a runaway accident In 1903.
The money was left to the widow
in trust for the purposes set forth
in sealed letter to be found with
the will. The letter directed that 1t
be paid to Mr.. Bryan.
A contest was made by the widow
and other heirs. and Mr.. Bryan lost
on the ground that the letter was
not sufficiently identified to be con-
sidered an integral part of the VIII.
Mr.. Bryan has written an explana-
ton in answer to the request OF
the editor of Leslie's Weekly.

At the Central Presbyterian Church
yesterday the Rev. DR.. George Wal
ton King took as his text this verse
| from Acts ill.,, Q: AT the gate of the
temple which is called beautiful" His
sermon, in part, follows:
TT was at this gate that the man
who had been lame from his birth
was laid by his friends to ask aims of
the people who went to and came
from the temple services.
1T was called the gate beautiful
because of the costly and wonderful
embellishments upon and surrounding
II.
Though many century's have come
and gone since the destruction of the
temple to which my text refers, there
are vet many things that correspond
to It's gate beautiful. There are en-
frances that are as it's chief entrance
was.
The Lord Jesus Christ.
1.-THE acceptance of Jesus Christ as
your personal Saviour and daily life
for him is the gate beautiful that
opens to heaven and to an unchang-
Ing dwelling place with the Divine
Father throughout all eternity. To
that one who hardens and bars his
heart and life against the Holy Spirit.
to that one who refuses to believe, to
trust in and live for Christ as the
God-appointed, the God-sent Re-
deemer of men, there is and there can
be no possible entrance upon an eter-
nal life of heavenly or everlasting
happiness Hear the words follow
the teachings, to the utmost capacity
of the strength that you have live the
life of Jesus Christ over again, and
you will have entered the gate
beautiful.
There are many people who come
up to this gate, who in reality behold
it, before whose eyes it stands ajar,
but who never enter it. Like Moses,
there are those who come to look over
into the promised land, but they
never step foot upon it's soil. HON.
many there are, like Agrippa, almost
persuaded to be Christians, who never
become Christians. They stand at
times gazing and behold the gate
beautiful and are almost persuaded
to enter it, but almost persuaded
turns out with them only to be lost.
After looking at the entrance to
righteous living they turn away, walk,
live and finally come to die in their
sins.
The Doing of Good.
mot only righteous living. but also
righteous doing, the doing of good In
the world, constitute a gate beautiful.
How very many opportunities we all
have for the doing of good for our
selves and for those with whom we
come into contacts Hundreds of peo-
pie sit or walk every day by this
beautiful gate and never pay the least
attention to 1t. They do not so much
as once turn their faces in the direc-
tion in which 1t is. They are ever
on the out look for opportunities
to do these things that they think
will in any way advence their own
interests and well-being, but they
never see even one single chance to
render a service for any of those with
whom they live or meet.
There are those whose only thought
seems to be to do that which Is bad;
they seem to think and to plan only
to do evil here on the earth. They
walk by the gate beautiful, stand
by the gate beautiful sit by the
gate beautiful, sleep by the gate
beautiful and never seem to know or
realize that it or such a thing is in
existence.
