MUNICIPAL COURT
Nicholas George, Freed on One Charge,
Re-arrested on Another.

Nicholas George. the elusive, claimed
the attention of the municipal court for
the greater portion of Wednesday fore
noon when he was arraiSned before that
tribunal on the charge of being an idle
and diSorderly person with no visible
means of support and neglecting all law
full calling or employment Nicholas evil
IDENTIFY realized that the scope OF the
charge against him was too great for nm
to worm himself free of 1t without the
aid of legal advice and accordingly Sc
cured NJ. F.. Sawtelle to defend him. The
plea entered was that Of not guilty.
Witnesses for the prosecution testified
that they had known the respondent for
several years but that during that time
they had never known him to work, but
this was partly accounted for in the tes-
tinlony which was introduced by the de-
fence, which was in effect that Nicholas
was unable to work on account of illness
and that his cousin. Pappas, supported
him. Pappas admitted that this was the
fact and that from time to time he had
given Nicholas money. amounting in all
to about s170 1t also came out in the
testimony that Pappas had given the re-
spondent money to go to Lewiston at the
time of the elopement few weeks ago
to that city of one Charles Bobolas and
Maria Pappas.
Nicholas took the stand in his own be-
half and explained his having money in
addition to that given him by his cousin
by stating that he had sold a store which
he owned and had secured some money
in that way. 1t also developed that
Nicholas had some money in his pocket
at the time Of his hearing. The greater
part Of the testimony was taken through
the medium of an Interpreter from Hal
lowell and as this was not entirely sat
isfactory to the court the hearing was
brought to conclusion by discharging

ing Nicholas was rearrested on a civil
writ for damages arising from an alleg-
cd assault and was committed to Jail.

Lower Water street was for a few
minutes last evening the scene of
more excitement than it had expert
enced since the day Joe Knowles held
court there on his memorable trip out

a widely different cause, being due to
the accidental overturning of the Au-
