CARROLL SUBMITS
TO PAYING A fine
Jitbus Driver Does Not Go Through
With Threat to Appeal Case and
Contributes SIS and Costs.

Mike Carroll, jitbus driver, crawled
out of precarious position late yes
terday when he paid a fine of SIS and
costs in police court.
Michael became more dubious about
the situation he was in the longer he
remained in his cell. He had been
fined SO and costs in police court in
the morning for having assaulted Tom
COndiS. In order to avoid payment of
the fine he had announced his intention
of appealing the case In this way he
thought to put one over on the police.
Authorities. however. had prepared a
warrant charging him with resisting
an officer and intended rearresting him
as soon as he filed his appeal bond.
He got out of the mess before he was
confronted with the new charge when
he agreed to pay SIS and costs on a
charge of assault and battery.

taken from the cash register, several
watches were stolen and valuable
set of silver knives and forks were
taken. There is a small amount of
other stock missing also. Entrance

of locating clews which would lead to
