DERELICT IN COURT
ON CHARGE OF THEFT

George McCutcheon, snow shoveler
and automobile cleaner 10 the police
justices OF Detroit, appeared In court
again, Friday, but this time was
charged with being a thief, instead
OF harmless drunk.
McCutcheon was caught in the act
OF taking two coats out OF the Fort-st.
Presbyterian church, several days
ago, but was released with warning
by the Waterman. Later, two more
coats disappeared, and the police al
lege that one owned by Joseph Grind
ley. No. SO Parsons-st., was traced TO
McCutcheon.
McCutcheon has appeared in court
many times as drunk. In summer
time, he would gain his release, by
promising TO clean and polish the
auto OF the particular judge before
whom he was hailed.
In winter, McCutcheon did pen
nance for HIS drunk by cleaning OF
the snow from the police court side
walk.
He grew to be a sort OF -institu-
ton" around police court.
Justice Stein spoke sorrowfully TO
George, Friday. when he set his case
for Dec. 2l, and sent him 10 jail in
default OF $500 bail.
You won't 20 far as thief.
George, he remarked. We're go
