$50 IN Liberty Bonds, and then,
when Fishmar came to furnish a
bail bond, even refused that, but
made no explanation of his decision.
Mr.. Gregory was arrested yester-
day afternoon and could not secure
his release for hours, he declared.
because of DeShong's unexplained
refusal to accept the cash and bonds
or Fishman's bail bond
Defends DcShong
DeShong refused to give any de-
tailed statement about what had
happened in his office last evening,
but said that he had no objection to
his constable, David Hodge, telling
the story. Constable Hodge said lit
tie about it, either, other than to de-
fend the Alderman md claim that
Mr.. Fishman had been the agrees
sor.
DeShong fixed Mr.. Gregory's bail
at $300, cash, giving no explanation
of this action. He allowed the de-
fendant time to secure the bail, and
one of the persons who called by a
friend of Mr.. Gregory was Fishman.
While Mr.. Gregory and the consta-
BILE were out looking for bail, Fish
man came to police headquarters
and asked where he could find the
man for whom he was to furnish a
bail bond to secure his release.
DeShong SAID he was not there, and
n few minutes later according to
Fishman, DeShong left the Mayors
office.
Threatens Him
There Alderman DeShong refused
to take his bail bond, Fishman de-
clares, ard threatened him, after
cursing at him and calling him
names. He said that finally De-
Shong told Hodge to put him out,
and he told them he would go out.
"DeShong raised his hand to strike
me and my son grabbed him." Fish
man continued. 'T didn't know
what was going to happen, but we
got out"
Fishman did not say positively
that he would bring action against
the magistrate, but it is believed he
will.
Going to Sue
DeShong's statement of the events
that happened before reaching his
office in North Third street were
similar to Fishman's, but when
asked about the disturbance in his
office the Alderman said:
I'm not going to say anything
about it. 7 have retained Mr..
Sucker for my attorney and I'm
going to sue Fishman for surety of
the peace an ddisorderly conduct.
He threatened my life and came into
my office and cursed and caused the
trouble. told Mr.. Gregory I would
take cash bail and reduced 1t to
$3.50, which he furnished. The
hearing will be next Thursday even
ing at o'clock.
What happened in my office will
come out at the other hearing"
DeShong said. He did admit, how
ever, that Fishman offered to fur
nish a bail bond for Gregory. Fish
man claims that his offer was re-
fused and that he told the magis-
trate il he wouldn't take the bond
it was no affair of his.
Another Case Coming
A large crowd was attracted by
the disturbance at the Alderman's
office. similar to the ore which gath
cred in front of the Courthouse
months ago when 1t is said that
Fishman and DeShong aired their
differences at length.
1t also intimated that w. H.

other case in which he alleges there
was a false arrest by DeShong.

HELMS WILL OPEN
PRIVATE HOSPITAL
Plans to Build Exclusive Institution
on BayshOre Boulevard

Tampa will have another private
hospital, which is scheduled to be
opened sby the middle of September by
DIR. John S. Helms, according to in
formation given out by the physician.
The first step in this direction was
taken by DR.. Helms recently when he
purchased the Biglow property, on the
Bayshore boulevard, near Ballast
Point, for that purpose. The price
of the property was not made public
According to DR.. Helms the hospital
will be run on what is known as the
closed staff plan. In other words the
doctors of Tampa will be invited to
join the staff of DR.. Helms, which will
doubtless be made up of a select few.
The institution will handle no emer-
gency cases, while the majority of
cases handled will be surgical cases.
