Paul Colkard, Sentenced to Jail.
 Tries to Tell Troubles to Sister

Paul Colkard. who was sentenced to four months in jail this morning for following little girl, asked permis- sion of Sergeant Herting to tell his sister his troubles before he was talk en away. Co1kard has been in this country only one year and never used a telephone until the sergeant got his sister on the wire today. At first he was afraid to touch the apparatus and then he timidly said Bon Gi- orno" Amusement was written plain on the prisoners face when he heard his sisters voice reply The mystery of the phone was too great for him to understand and his con- versation fell fiat.
 Joseph Holleran, another man sen- fenced to jail this morning, has filed notice of an appeal. He was sent up for thirty days for drunkenness.
