Chauffeur Has Woman Ar rested When She Refuses
 Payment of Charges.

tsSeeing Bridgeport by Taxicab's is the title of the book that Jessie Pol 1etti, private cook for John ". Green, wealthy manufacturer of Danbury may write when she gets back home Tonight. John McCue, taxi driver for Hickey Brothers, who had her ar rested late yesterday afternoon fol lowing an all morning ride which amounted to $25, only $10 of which was forthcoming, says that she can mix an undeniably good stew or dress poultry in the most exquisite style but as . pilot for a deep -seagoing hack she falls far short of the mark.
 It was explained in the city court to-day before Judge Coughlin that Jessie had embarked for Darien but that she was compelled to cast, an chor so many times and in such di- verse channels while liquid other than water was taken on board that it, was finally necessary to convoy her to po- lice Headquarters before even West port was reached,
 Upon the matter being explained satisfactorily to the court and as Jes- sic had not previously been upon q lark in Bridgeport the court permit ted her discharge upon payment Of the additional SIS to the Adriver- This was procured by Manager CantweH or the Hotel Stratfeld who upon calling up John Greene at Danbury was or dered to get her discharge, as her ser vices were greatly in demand at that city.
 To policemen the PoI1etH woman said that she had left Danb ury be- cause her husband had threatened her with a knife She had sat from mid night until early morning in the Dan bury station and had arrived in this city about 10 o'clock
