cry Is Detained Illegally

Mrs. Amelia Dwyer, Of 80 Jefferson
Avenue, Maspeth, Queens, was in
Flushing police court yesterday charged
with petit lerceny on complaint Of
F'rcds rick Fredcrckson, neighbor,
who said Mrs. Dwyer had his pig and
wouldn't give it to him.
1t was personable pig, though a
small one. said Mr. Freder ickson, and
both ne and the pig suffered anguish
of mind because Of the separation.
which now had endured since Satur-
day. Not only had the pig been de
prived Of his society, Mr. Frederick
son continued, but it had been kept
in Mrs. Dryers backyard, which was
not furnished in the style to which it
had become accustomed.
The neighborhood was a highly
moral one, Mr. Frederickson admitted,
but small pig could not thrive on
morals alone. An intelligent pig, such
as the small one to which he referred,
might we'll pine away, he intimatcd, in
a strange backyard. however moral, be-
ing deprived suddenly Of all the ten
der associations OF its infancy.
IN justice 10 him mself and The small
pig, he asked Magistrate Conway to
compel Mrs. Dwyer to send the pig
home
Mrs. Dwyer broke in with her ex-
planation as soon as Mr. Fredericton
had finished his plea. 1t was not that
she coveted Mr. rederickson's pig or
any pig, she said, but it was simply a
desire to obtain justice which had in
spired her to take Mr.. Frederickson s
pig to her home.
The circumstances under which Mr..
Frederickson's small pig stirred her
sense of justice were extraordinary,
she said. She was going home along
the street Saturday with a set Of dishes
which she had received for Christ
mas, when she met the small pig.
Strictly speaking, she said, it was
the small pig which met her, the meet
ing being one which she strove dill
gently to avoid. The pig was pro
ceeding in great haste in the opposite
direction to that she was pursuing, she
said, and when she turned out politely
to give it the right of way the little
creature, through some piggishly per-
verted instinct Of politeress, likewise
turned out-and on the same side of
the road.
1t was the crash Of the collision
which aroused Mrs. Dwyer's sense of
justice. Not only was her sense of
justice aroused, but all her Christina s
dishes were smashed by the impact.
Justice demanded that she Hold the
small pig until its owner had paid for
the damage, and Providence ordained
that Mrs. Dwyer should emerge from
fhe collision seated upon the small
pig.
Manifestly there was only one thing
10 De done, and Mrs. Dwyer took her
prisoner aome, informing its owner he
could have it when he had paid SO for
the broken dishes. This he refused
to do.
She convinced Magistrate Conway
that she did not steal the pig, but he
warned her that the law would not
countenance her retention of the ami
NAL either. He dismissed the charge
against her and advised taking the
case to q civil court.

Add to Judges TO Curb
Crime, Says Grand Jury
Methods Indorsed to Prevent
Criminals Under indictment
Seeking Illegal OCCUPATIONS

The December grand jury, headed by
George II. Pings. yesterday handed up
q presentment to Judge Alfred J. Tai
ley urging an increase in the NUN be r
Of judges In the Court Of General Ses-
sions as q means of combating the in
crease in crime.
The presentment also indorsed "any
and ali lawful and proper meth DDS" de-
signed to prevent criminals under in
dictment from pursuing their criminal
occupations sduring the pendency of
complaints against them, but recog-
officers were restricted by the constitu-
tional provision giving accused persons
the right OF bail.
The jury declared that despite this
provision some effective means could
be devised to eradicate the present evil
OF crime being committed by criminals
out on bail. The suggested increase in
the number Of judges was given as ore
means. The jury expressed the opin-
ion that the number Of men out on bail
was due to the congested condition of
the bail calendar.
1t was said yesterday that the new
legislation to increase the penalty for
crimes of violence advocated by the
judges of the Court of General Ses-
sions would Undoubtedly pass in the
next Legislature. II it does, burglary
i'll the first degree will be punishable
by life imprisonment and robbery will
result In sentences Of from one year 20
life, according to the degree Other
cl4nes of violence also will have
