Pay patients, however, are only admitted to Hillside when re- fused admission by the private hos pitals,
 The maximum charge at Hillside is ST per week.
 All patients in public institutions must be treated uniformly, no dev1a- ton Is made from the regular dietary except upon the order of the attend ing physician who has the right to order soft diets for patients or in- mates when in his opinion such a diet is necessary,
 NO payments whatever have been made to this department for the care of Nr. Blossom. It must be quite obvious that this department could not provide MT. Bloxson with any diet except that provided other pa tients in similar condition.

 Judge Frederic A. Bartlett in sus- pending judgment, stated there was no doubt in his mind that Friedman was trying to get away with a $15 deposit which Mrs. Sutton had paid him on a stove. Mrs. Sutton told the court that she paid the money for a stove, and when the stove arrived at her home 1t was not as represented and that she sent 1t back to the store.
 Efforts to get her money or an oher stove had proved fruftless, she stated. She visited the office of the prosecuting attorney and was told that the matter was one for civil ac- ton, not criminal.
 She then visited the office of Legal Aid Attorney William D. Burton of the Charities department. MT. Bur ton tried severa times to get Fried man on the phone to be told each time by some one in the store that he was out.
 MT Burton finally advised her go to the store and find If Friedman was there. This she did, and according to one of the witnesses Friedman as saulted her when Mrs Sutton tried to telephone to MT. Burton from the store.
 Friedman sent for an officer to have the two women arrested, but ended up by being arrested himself, when the case was explained to the desk officer at the Second Precinct.
