81 don't know his name" replied
Snyder.
Curran's arm looked bad and when
he demanded the arrest of Snyder the
thing looked reasonable to the patrol
man and Snyder went on his way to
court
Then came the question, What was
Snyder to be charged WITH"
Whatever he did was done through
the medium of the horse, but what
was it? Mayhem and assault and
battery were considered, but did not
win approval, and then came the
| happy thought of OBTAINING the horse
for lettering. That would have suit
ed Curran, but this intervened-was
a horse eligible to appear as a pris-
oner in the First Criminal Court?
Curran insisted that justice be done
him and things were getting more
tangled than ever when the owner of
the animal appeared He is Philip
Rubin, a livery stable keeper at 245
Broome street. and when his name
and address We're secured, as well as
an admission of ownership of the
| horse, Curran said:
I'm satisfied. He was the fellow
| was after all the time. I'll sue him,
| but wasn't 1t a job to find out his
name?"
